All other factors being equal, you should go for products with welded joints. Make sure that they are fully welded, i.e., no mechanical joints at all.

Bude Windows & Conservatories only supply products with welded joints.

I live in an old cottage, do you sell authentic looking PVCu sliding sash windows?

We sell a market leading vertical slider that combines all the benefits of high performing modern materials and functionality with period character and design. Advanced technology and traditional design come together to create the perfect solution for period properties.

What happens to my old windows?

Bude Windows & Conservatories are committed to Environmental issues and all glass and frames are recycled where possible by a specialist Company.

Could I have my windows / conservatory in a coloured PVCu?

We can supply PVCu frames in 15 different colours and aluminium in excess of 180 colours.

Which frame suits your home?

The frame you choose will depend on your home and your personal taste. For all frame materials there are windows available in each energy rating.
PVCu frames are the most common type. They last a long time and can be recycled.
Wooden frames can have a lower environmental impact, but require maintenance. They are often used in conservation areas where the original windows were timber framed.
Aluminium or steel frames are slim and long-lasting. They can be recycled.

With so many double glazing companies starting up in the industry how will I know which is the best Company to use?

Always use an installer who is a member of a Trade Association.

This has two benefits: Firstly, it will protect your consumer rights and secondly it will ensure that the company replacing your windows and doors is competent to do the job.
Go to the Glass and Glazing Federation who can provide details of installers at your location.
Look for a proven track record in the industry, a ten year guarantee is not worth the paper it is written on if the Company will not be trading in the foreseeable future.
