Double Glazing On The Web

This week our theme has been increasing the security of your home and the fact that the first steps to beefing up your home security is to ensure that your doors and windows are robust and well-secured.

With the doors to your home this need for secure locks almost goes without saying, however, you’d be amazed at how many people don’t secure their windows.  Don’t forget, windows are another entry point into your home.

All our windows are fitted with a roller cam lock system as standard.  This system comprises four adjustable roller cams with individual keeps, plus a handle that click locks and has a further key lock.  And just to be on the safe side, we have added a dead bolt for good measure.

However, here at DGOTW, we do understand that daily news reports of increasing crime rates might make you crave even more security, which is why we offer an optional upgrade to the Sac shoot bolt system.  Here’s a summary explaining why this system brings extra security  to your home.  The Sac shoot bolt system features:

• an 8 Point locking system with unique corner drive design on all windows regardless of size

• unique full depth eurogroove lock-out design to maximise security performance

• 400% more shootbolt contact area with keep when compared to traditional flat shootbolts

• modern contemporary design with options of composite or steel plated keeps

• Unique anti-slip and lock detail to shootbolt head

• Supaglide gear box action, tested to 100,000 cycles (that equals 30 years of heavy use)

• The Sac shootbolt system is rigorously tested to BS7950 and beyond to achieve Secure by Design status

• The system is backed up by Progress Plus - an anti break-in guarantee that brings extra peace of mind.

That should do the trick!

It seems like ages ago that we first planned to bring our website up-to-date but it was, in fact, just a couple of months ago.  Our old site, whilst functional, left a lot to be desired on the aesthetics front and it probably didn’t do a lot for our public profile.

I’m proud (and a little relieved) to announce that our new site is up and open for business.

You’ll notice the upgrade straight away - it is definitely a far ‘prettier’ site than the old one - but it’s not just about looks.  We’ve tried really hard to ensure that the site is easy to negotiate and provides all the information you need when buying doors, windows, or conservatories.

As with most new sites, I suspect we’ll have some teething problems, I would just ask you to be kind to us in these early days.  If you find a problem with the site, please let us know, either by using our Freephone Number:

or by emailing us at sales@doubleglazingontheweb.co.uk

So, come on over and see what we’ve done to the place.

Some conservatory suppliers are reporting up to 45% increases in sales over the past three months.

The probable reason for this trend-bucking statistic is that conservatories are seen as a risk-free way of enlarging the home, thus adding value to the property.  In this very uncertain housing market, moving home is nigh on impossible and there is a very real fear of negative equity.

Adding that conservatory is one way, and a very good way, of safeguarding the value of your property, and giving you more living space.
