A simple room-by-room guide

Look for this

  • Bathroom — frosted for privacy
  • West-facing wall — tinted for heat and glare
  • Road-facing bedroom — laminated or double for noise
  • Large or low pane — toughened for safety
  • Quiet, sheltered rooms — standard clear is fine

Questions

Frequently asked

Which glass should I choose for uPVC windows?

Match it to each room — frosted for bathrooms, tinted for sun-facing walls, laminated or double for noisy sides, toughened for large or low panes, clear for quiet sheltered rooms.

Should every window have the same glass?

No — matching glass to each opening's exposure gives you privacy, quiet, or heat control where needed without over-spending.

Will you advise on glass?

Yes — when we measure, we discuss what each opening faces and recommend glass accordingly.
