residential doors

All the different system companies offer different colours as standard, these

generally will range from 3-6 colours subject to the manufacturer. Standard Colours

are offered at no additional charge. Choosing a standard colour is a good way to

keep your cost down. Aluminium systems can however be offered in any RAL colour

of your choice including options for Dual Colour, that’s one colour inside and a

different colour outside. If you select a non-standard colour or a dual colour system

you can expect to pay a paint-set up surcharge and expect extended lead-times

over the standard colours of which the system profile is often in stock for a quicker

manufacturing time should your project need this.

Different Systems will boast different U-Values. A U-Value is the measure of any

window or door systems thermal effectiveness. You will learn that different systems

have varying U-Values.

Most of the thermal effecieny in any window or door system comes from the

glazing. This often constitutes around 80% of the overall area. In todays market

there are a number of options to to consider around the type of glass you can

specify.

All of our windows systems come as standard with a Low Emission coating applied

to the inner pane, often referred to a Low E Glass. This is to reflect escaping heat

back into the property. A building control compliance since 2003.

Other glazing options include Laminated Security Glass, Solar Glazing or Privacy

Glass.

We can explain the benefits of all of these upgrades during our consultation service

to see if these are a worthwhile upgrade on your project by location of each

window. Considerations are venerable locations, more prone to intruder attack,

South Facing Windows subject to prolonged sun throughout the summer months or

Bathroom/WC locations requiring absolute privacy.

Each of our Window systems will have a unique set of profile dimensions and

shape. Some profiles shapes are more square and contemporary while others have

beveled profiles. Dimensions will also vary, ranging from one end of the spectrum to

the other. You will be able to view these first hand across our range of working

samples during your initial consultation.

Our Casement window systems between manufacturers can vary in there delivery

lead-time. Our more mainstream systems can be manufactured and delivered in

lead-times as short as 3-4 weeks. Other more unique systems can take 8-10 weeks.

If you have an urgency in your project timelines then we can point you in the

direction of systems with shorter lead-times.
