08Who fits energy-efficient windows in Nottingham?
Double Glazing Plus can supply and fit modern energy-efficient uPVC windows in Nottingham and surrounding areas. Window energy ratings run from A++ to E, and the right choice depends on the complete window specification, not simply the number of panes. We will explain the available rating and glass specification before ordering.

09What are the best windows for keeping my house warm?
Look at the energy performance of the complete window, including the frame, sealed glass unit, low-emissivity coating, spacer bar and quality of installation. A well-specified, properly fitted A-rated window can reduce heat loss and draughts. The best choice still depends on your home, budget and ventilation requirements.

10Can new windows reduce my heating bills?
They can reduce heat loss, particularly when old single glazing, failed sealed units or draughty windows are being replaced. The saving varies with the property, existing windows, heating system and household habits, so we will not promise an unrealistic figure. New windows can also make rooms feel more comfortable and reduce cold draughts.

12How long does it take to fit new windows?
A straightforward single window may be completed within part of a day, while several windows or a complete house will take longer.

Choosing the right windows

Useful next page: Windows
22What type of double glazing is best for an older house?
The right answer depends on the age, appearance and construction of the property. Traditional-looking casement or flush-sash uPVC windows can provide modern performance while respecting the character of an older home. Conservation areas or listed buildings may have extra planning requirements, so these should be checked before ordering.
Useful next page: WindowsFlush Sash Windows
23Can I replace my old wooden windows with uPVC?
In many homes, yes. Modern uPVC windows can reduce maintenance and improve weather resistance and energy performance. The new windows must be measured, specified and fitted correctly. Planning restrictions may apply to listed properties or some conservation areas, so we will flag this when relevant.

24How much does a bay window cost to replace?
Bay windows must be priced individually because the number of sections, angles, sizes, roof or canopy details and any structural requirements vary. Send photographs and approximate measurements for initial guidance. We will then survey the bay and provide a clear written quotation before anything is ordered.

25How much are new bedroom windows?
The price depends on the window size, style, number of openings, colour and glass specification. Standard uPVC windows currently start from £445 supplied and fitted, but a bedroom window may require specific escape-opening or ventilation provisions. We will check the requirements during the survey.

31Which is better: a composite door or a uPVC door?
Both can be secure, weather-resistant and attractive when properly specified and fitted. Composite doors generally offer a heavier feel and a wider choice of premium designs, while uPVC doors are often the more economical option. We can show you both and help you choose according to budget, appearance and how the entrance is used.
Useful next page: Composite DoorsuPVC Doors
32Can I get a new front door fitted without changing the frame?
Sometimes, but only when the existing frame is sound, square and compatible with the proposed door. In many cases a complete door set, including a new matched frame, provides a better fit, seal, security and guarantee. We will inspect the opening before recommending the sensible option.
Useful next page: Doors
33Who fits secure front doors in Nottingham?
Double Glazing Plus supplies and fits modern composite and uPVC entrance doors in Nottingham. Security depends on the complete door set, including the slab or panel, frame, multipoint locking system, cylinder, glazing and quality of installation. We will explain the proposed specification before you order.
Useful next page: Doors
34What is the most secure type of front door?
A high-quality composite door set is a strong option, but the label alone does not guarantee security. Look for a tested complete door set, robust frame, multipoint locking, suitable security cylinder, correctly specified glazing and professional installation. We can explain the security features available on the doors we supply.
Useful next page: Composite Doors
35Can I see different styles of composite doors before ordering?
Yes. We can show you available composite-door designs, colours, glass patterns and hardware choices before you make a decision. Our supplier brochures help you compare the options, and we will confirm the selected design and specification in writing before ordering.
Useful next page: Composite DoorsBrochures
36Can I choose the colour of my new windows and doors?
Yes. Depending on the product range, options can include white, anthracite grey, black, woodgrain finishes and different colours inside and outside. Availability and price vary by style and manufacturer, so we will confirm your selected finish as part of the quotation.
Guarantees and lifespan
37Do you get guarantees with new double glazing?
New windows and doors should be supplied with clear written guarantee information. The exact cover and duration can vary between the frames, sealed glass units, hardware and installation. Double Glazing Plus will state the applicable guarantee details in the quotation and paperwork rather than relying on a vague verbal promise.
Useful next page: How It Works
38How long should new double glazing last?
Quality windows can provide many years of service, but lifespan depends on the product, installation, exposure, use and maintenance. Sealed glass units and moving hardware may not all age at the same rate. Correct fitting, sensible cleaning and dealing with minor issues promptly can help the windows perform well for longer.
Misted, blown or cracked glass units
39Can you replace misted double glazing?
Yes. Double Glazing Plus replaces misted or failed double-glazed sealed units where the frame is still suitable. We measure the existing unit, order a made-to-measure replacement and fit the new glass into the current frame. This is different from offering general window mechanism or lock repairs.
Useful next page: Glass Unit Replacement
40Can you replace just the glass in a double-glazed window?
Usually, yes. The removable part is a factory-sealed double-glazed unit containing two panes of glass. If the uPVC frame and opening sash are in serviceable condition, the sealed unit can often be replaced without changing the complete window.
Useful next page: Glass Unit Replacement
41Do I need a whole new window if the glass has blown?
Not necessarily. Condensation or misting between the panes normally indicates that the seal around the glass unit has failed. If the frame remains sound, replacing the sealed unit is often the practical solution. We will assess the window and tell you honestly if a complete replacement is unnecessary.
Useful next page: Glass Unit Replacement
42How much does it cost to replace a misted glass unit?
The price depends on the width and height, glass thickness, safety-glass requirements, energy coating, pattern and access. Send a clear photograph and approximate measurements for initial guidance. We will confirm the specification and price before ordering the made-to-measure unit.

43Who replaces blown double glazing near me?

Useful next page: Glass Unit ReplacementAreas We Cover
44Can you replace condensation between double-glazed panes?
Yes. Condensation trapped between the panes usually means the edge seal of the double-glazed unit has failed. The reliable remedy is generally to replace that sealed glass unit. Cleaning the inside or outside surfaces will not remove moisture trapped inside the unit.
Useful next page: Glass Unit Replacement
45Who can replace a cracked double-glazed unit?
Double Glazing Plus can replace a cracked double-glazed sealed unit where the frame is suitable. The replacement must be measured and manufactured to the correct size and glass specification, including safety glass where required. Avoid pressing or placing stress on damaged glass while waiting for assessment.
Useful next page: Glass Unit Replacement
46Can I replace the glass without replacing the uPVC frame?
Yes, in many cases. If the uPVC frame and opening parts remain sound, we can remove the old sealed unit and fit a new made-to-measure unit into the existing frame. If the frame is badly distorted, damaged or no longer functioning properly, we will explain the available options.
