Double Glazing On The Web

It has to be said - double glazing companies and their salesmen do not have a brilliant public profile. Media stories about cold-calling, email spamming, and salesman aggression has done little to help that poor image.

Last week, Supreme-O-Glaze, who also trade as Weatherseal Holdings, were ordered by the court to stop making cold calls. The complaints were received by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the Telephone Preference Service, prompting the former to issue an enforcement notice against Weatherseal Holdings. This was in spite of the company assuring the ICO last year that it would discontinue the practice.

Apparently, the company persisted in making sales calls to homes that were using the Telephone Preference Service or who had requested not to receive these calls. The company were given 35 days to stop making such calls.

So why is a double glazing company highlighting such bad practice on its blog? Because this double glazing company doesn’t use salesmen, doesn’t pay commission, and doesn’t give discounts.

Did you know that, for most quotes received for double glazing, over 27% will go towards paying commission? Or that ’special offer’ prices are in fact the real list price and the normal price quoted to you is highly inflated?

Double Glazing on the Web does not work that way, and we get mightily upset when we are ‘tarred with the same brush.’
