1. Window style 

Not sure where to start? Have a look at our Windows Gallery for some inspiration. Choosing the right style for your home has a powerful influence on your house’s personality, so keep in mind the type of its architecture to make the best choice. 

Our beautiful aluminium windows are customisable, so you get to pick from a range of colours and finishes to match your preferences and to enrich your home.  

2.  Window material 

All modern windows are made from three primary materials: timber, UPVC or aluminium. Our recommendation would be to choose aluminium windows as they are much stronger than UPVC, and they need less maintenance. Bonus? They offer a beautiful visual appearance whilst being an ideal choice if you are looking to save up some money from your next heating bill.

3. Window price 

Start by taking a look at your budget and decide how much money will you be willing to spend on new windows. You must request free quotes from companies so you can get the best window prices to fit your budget. There are no obligations to use any of the quotes you receive back, including our free quote! 

4. Window energy rating 

You will want to know for sure the window energy rating system when deciding on a new purchase by looking from a scale of G to A+ (A+ windows being the best option for energy saving). Do you want a warmer and cosier house? Then you should get the most energy-efficient windows that you can, like our Smart Alitherm Windows that come with improved thermal performance to keep your home warm for longer. 

5. Window safety

Thinking about your family’s safety when installing new windows is something that you must think about, especially if you have small children around. What to look out for in your new windows are lock durability and resistance, so make sure you choose wisely, even if that means that they might cost slightly more. 

With all these important considerations in mind, you are all set up and ready to either replace your existing windows or even buy new ones. Do you want to be a step closer to creating your ideal living space for you and your loved ones? Approach your decision-making process with careful calculation to make sure that you will fully use and enjoy your windows long term.
