Summer Benefits of Double Glazing

Monday, May 24th, 2010

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.

Transparent Sales

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Are you familiar with this scenario, “he started off quoting X for our conservatory and, after four calls to his manager, came down on his offer by two thirds, but we had to decide immediately and give him a 20% deposit”?

Not surprisingly people are getting wise to this form of pressurized selling, the result is that rising stars in the internet based glazing industry don’t mess around with pricing, they offer one price and one price only - the very best they can offer, with no hidden discounts or schemes and the price is the same if you order one window or ten.

What’s more, you go to them if and when you need new or replacement windows or doors- there’s no knocking on doors or cold calling. Successful double glazing firms in these troubled times, have recognized that to be successful  in today’s very competitive market, the sales pitch and the entire sales process, needs to be as transparent as the windows themselves.

Handy Tip:
When receiving a quote for new or replacement glazing, the quotation should be equally transparent, broken down comprehensively to the nearest 1p. You should be able to see the net cost for a full technical survey, the cost of the frames, the glass in the frames, installation, fixing and even the sealants used.
