Double Glazing Surrey

Traditional Aluminium Windows

Aluminium is often thought of as a modern material for double glazed windows.

But Surrey Windows offer a great range of Traditional Aluminium Windows. They are perfect for heritage areas such as listed buildings.

Recently we have installed these using products from the amazing Smart Alitherm Heritage range. Smart operate from a purpose built 45,000 square feet state of the art plant in the UK.

These Traditional Aluminium Windows offer superb thermal performance and are available in a choice of attractive colours.

We can supply various styles such as single or double sash windows, top hung open casement windows and more.

Matching Doors and Windows

The Smart range of Traditional Aluminium Windows have a full range of windows and door handles. They are available in lovely Victorian and Art Deco styles. Anodised colours matches include shades of gold, bronze, silver, grey, black and more.

Benefits of Traditional Aluminium Windows

Aluminium Windows will not rust or rot so can last indefinitely, often aluminium windows are not replaced for over 40 years, how’s that for great value !

The design of modern aluminium windows is now very advanced. They have excellent thermal efficiency giving real energy cost savings.

The construction of the window frame is so well insulated it also raises the inside temperature of the house and this is of great help in reducing condensation on windows.

Aluminium windows do not need re-painting and they will not rust or rot.

Aluminium is a very strong long lasting material, all this means they are virtually maintenance free.

Are Aluminium Windows Better than PVC Windows

Below are some of our recent installations of Traditional Aluminium Windows, these are the Slim Aluminium profiles which best replicate Crittal installs.

Residence R9 Windows – Important Update

As demand for the R9 has gathered so much momentum in the last years, we’ve become increasingly aware of how some companies are offering them using different, cheaper manufacturing techniques.

Naturally we wish to highlight this for the risk of making what is already a premium product seem comparatively expensive.

The whole ethos behind the R9 is to produce a very close replica of a 19th Century timber casement window whilst utilising the benefits of a modern PVCu window.

As far as we are concerned, that means using a timber ‘butt-joint’ on the frames and sashes that looks period-correct.

In the past few weeks, we have seen a modern chamfered and welded joint that you would see on a typical contemporary PVCu window – a technique that was never employed on timber windows of this period!

We completely understand why other companies are using this technique as it makes a substantial saving on manufacturing time and costs.

The R9 is a premium product and we believe that using manufacturing short cuts to reduce it’s price is a mistake and could potentially mislead customers.

Residence R9 Window From Surrey Windows

Surrey Windows will not provide a welded, chamfered R9 to reduce the costs of this window – our R9 will always use butt joints.

Again, when we see customers falling in love with the R9 we try our very best to keep our prices as competitive as possible but not by downgrading this particular product.

What Does A Window Surveyor Do?

Home owners purchasing double glazing will often question what the role of the window surveyor is.

They may assume that if the salesmen has been to their property then all measurements have already been taken.

If you are buying new windows, doors or conservatories, the role of the double glazing surveyor is a crucial one. The window surveyors that Surrey Windows employ are all fully trained in window and door installation techniques.

They have extensive knowledge of the specific door and window system being used. This means that they know the limitations, tolerances and its suitability for your particular property.

The Window Surveyor will set the benchmark for ensuring a quality installation. If your installation is required to comply with building regulations the surveyor will photograph the existing window and ensure all critical dimensions are adhered to.

The surveyor will have the knowledge to inform you about ventilation, access, fire egress, security and much more.

If you are having windows replaced above an existing conservatory roof, the surveyor will be able to assess how the window is to be replaced bearing in mind there may be a glass roof directly below it and access to the window may be difficult.

Where load-bearing situations occur, the surveyor can offer advice based upon product knowledge and supplier’s recommendations.

Check that replacement window / door-sets will not infringe any Local Authority planning controls i.e. Conservation, building control.

Any Real Need for Triple Glazed Windows?

A long time ago windows just consisted of a pane of glass and a frame to hold it in place.

After improvements to the frames, such as sliding sash, came the idea of double glazing. Now triple glazed windows are becoming more commonplace.

Underlying these improvements has been the need for improved energy efficiency. 60 years ago it was quite simple, does the window let in light and keep the elements out?

Now that basic need has been translated into building regulations and energy efficiency standards.

Do Triple glazed Windows Offer Something Extra?

Triple glazed windows offer several main advantages over double glazing:

Triple glazing is around 40% more thermally efficient than the highest rated UPVC double glazing – which translates to a cost saving.
Triple glazed doors and windows reduce draughts and cold spots, in newer homes this makes for a more comfortable living environment..
Whilst no window can be 100% sound proof a triple glazed windows and doors can reduce the impact of outside noise.
Security and safety; that third pane of glass makes a triple glazed unit harder to break; either on purpose or by accident.

One of the key factors in noise reduction is the thickness of the glass used.

Different thicknesses of glass will block different sound frequencies, therefore combining various thicknesses of glass in a unit is very effective at keeping noise out.

How much do Bi-Folding Doors cost in the UK

So in essence triple glazing offers improved thermal and sound insulation with the added benefit of improved safety and security.

The enhanced energy efficiency will translate into lower heating bills which means that there is a minimal cost implication to selecting triple glazing over standard double glazing.

We shall be producing more detailed information about the thermal properties of triple glazing and its noise reduction advantages.

Aluminium Or uPVC Windows

Thinking about Aluminium vs uPVC Windows?

If you still have older windows and doors in your home, they are unlikely to be performing at their best and will be contributing to heat loss and higher energy bills.

Aluminium windows and doors look great and are very good at stopping heat from escaping.

If you’ve not yet looked at the benefits of aluminium windows and how they can improve your home, we can help with our superb range of windows, doors, conservatories, bi-folding doors and even sash windows in aluminium.

Aluminium vs uPVC Windows

PVCu Windows are often lower cost than Aluminium Windows
Aluminium windows are normally stronger windows than PVCu windows
Due to their inherent strength Aluminium Windows can have slimmer frames and heavier glass for better insulation
Both Aluminium Windows and PVCu Windows are almost maintenance free
Aluminium Windows can have a very long life span indeed, up to thirty years and more
Both PVCu Windows and Aluminium Windows can offer excellent security, however Aluminium is often has the highest security features
Perhaps one of the big advantages of Aluminium Windows is the much larger range of colours normally available

Surbiton Aluminium Windows and Doors Or Upvc Windows

Older products (even if it is old double glazed windows) do not have the energy efficiency of modern aluminium doors and windows or event PVCu windows doors and conservatories.

This means that as the summer turns in to winter and the weather turns colder and windier your windows can actually contribute to heat loss throughout your property.

It is not just the windows and glass that play a part, it’s the whole building. New double glazed windows and doors will give you clear benefits.

Aluminium may not be the first thing you think of when you think of new windows and doors, but what you might not know is just how heat efficient today’s modern aluminium systems are.

Today Aluminium Windows and Doors are highly advanced, and being aluminium are much stronger than PVCu and also much slimmer allowing for greater glass area.

We also have a great range of bi-folding doors, crafted from slim, strong durable aluminium and available in over 200 colours !
