With the options now available to you to change your windows and doors, style and type it is worth considering whether you would need planning permission. In many circumstances to add a porch, new door or conservatory there is no regulatory red-tape or planning needed but it is worth consulting a double glazing expert for advice.
You may enlarge a window or remove the portion of the wall below a window to create a doorway. This only requires a notification to the local authority planning office (fee varies by Local Authority) and it is something that Double Glazing on the Web would undertake on your behalf.
If you require additional space of more that 70 cubic metres (approx 30m2), planning permission will be needed. Double Glazing on the Web can advise and make an application on your behalf. (fee payable)
If you live in a conservation area, an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ or in a listed building we advise you to contact your local planning office to see what restrictions may be in force.

Noone is complaining about this beautiful weather we are getting and I know many of you will be hoping that it will stay. It is nice to have the warmth from the sun and being able to get the windows open to let the breeze in.
But there are some homes and offices that after having the sun beating through the windows all day are like an oven inside making it uncomfortable to be in the room. There are many advantages of double glazing and replacement windows and many assume they are only winter season advantages; keeping in heat, preventing condensation, reducing energy bill etc. But the summer season advantages are prominent too, making it a double-whammy benefit to having double glazing or replacing your windows.
During the summer and on days when the sun pours in through your windows it brings with it ultraviolet light that can damage and fade furniture, carpets, pictures and paintings. Double glazed windows can reduce the amount of UV light entering your rooms by over 70% leading to less fade and risk of spoiling your interior items.
Come down to one of the Double Glazing on the Web showrooms for a view of the full range of windows and doors that could make a differenece to youa nd your home all year round.

UPVC is formally known as Polyvinyl Chloride.
In formal scientific terms, it is a thermoplastic vinyl polymer and is constructed by repeating vinyl groups and replacing some one of them with a chloride group.
More simply put it is a cheap, durable, low maintenance, easy to assemble material that is the third most produced plastic, after polyethylene (polythene) and polypropylene (PP). It is this material that is used in replacement and double glazing windows and doors. The bonus factors of using this material is not only that it is cheap and durable, it can be made to fit any design and shape, for example to fit the style of your home when replacing your windows and doors.
UPVC is also biologically and chemically resistant meaning it is the number one choice for household sewage pipes as it is not affected by corrosion. Clothing, upholstery, hoses, flooring and inflatable structures are also among the many products that can be made using the reliable material. Therefore when thinking of what it is thats going into making your replacment windows or your new door, you have chosen the right material.
