Surbiton Glazing Ltd can help with:
Repair of existing windows and
doors
Unfortunately; many timber windows suffer from rot and need regular
patching, filling and re-painting. PVC-U windows and doors are very
low maintenance, needing little more than a quick wipe over.
Improving the appearance of your home
Shabby, old-fashioned windows and doors can be replaced with new
styles and shapes to significantly change and improve the look of
your home and give it "kerb appeal" - and the same is true for
roofline products.
Improved security
Sad to say, but crime is rising and doors and windows are a common
entry point for burglars. Our PVC-U double glazing window systems
incorporate extra security features including special locks, to
protect your home.
Better weather performance
Do your curtains move when the wind gusts? Do you get a chill from
window draughts? Does rain leak in around your windows? Now's the
time to seek the excellent weather performance of modern PVC-U
double glazing windows tested to withstand gale force conditions.
Reduced noise
Do you live on a busy street or road? Does passing noise irritate
you? The latest double glazing PVC-U windows can significantly
decrease the amount of noise 'transmitted' through your windows for
a quieter, peaceful home.
Energy efficiency
The latest double glazing windows offer much better insulation than
conventional single glazing windows. New windows help to keep the
heat in, so you can turn down the heating a degree or two and save
on fuel bills in perfect comfort.
Low E Glass and
Document L of Building Regulations
 Most
people are aware that effective 1st April 2002 - all replacement
double glazing window installations in England & Wales are subject
to Building Regulations. This new regulation in particular affects
the minimum levels of insulation that replacement double glazing
windows must have when fitted in your home. Levels of insulation are
measured as U values. The lower the U value, the better the
insulation level.
To get the required level of insulation some
sort of LOW E glass (typically Pilkington K in the UK - although
there are other brands) will have to be used. It may also be
necessary for the sealed double glazing units to be Gas Filled
(probably Argon).
There are two ways that you can ensure
compliance with relevant regulations, firstly you may employ a
contractor or installer who is registered under the FENSA
self-certification scheme, of which Surbiton
Glazing Ltd are. This contractor will be approved to carry
out the work in accordance with relevant regulations without
inspection by the council and will inform FENSA when installation
has been completed. Random inspections of completed work are carried
out.
If you are not using a FENSA registered
contractor such as Surbiton Glazing Ltd or
if you're doing the work yourself (DIY) then you will need to
arrange building regulation approval yourself. Contact the building
control department at you local council reference this, or of
course, choose Surbiton Glazing Ltd for
all your single of double glazing requirements.
