With double glazing products as with any equipment, to obtain complete satisfaction it is advisable to carry out the simplest of regular maintenance.

As our policy is one of continuous improvement in products, methods and materials, changes in specification may be made from time to time without prior notice.

Glass Cleaning

Float glass , used in most double glazed units, is easily scratched and it is therefore recommended that hand jewellery is removed prior to cleaning.

Any proprietary household cleaner may be used with a soft cloth and it is recommended that heavy external grime be initially removed with a solution of soap and water.

Laminated glass, or glass containing Georgian bars, is cleaned in exactly the same manner.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year from all of the staff here at Trade Windows Doors & Conservatories.

Expect to hear from us in January with lots of exciting news on new products we are launching.

I have been asked on a number of ocassions about condensation around new double glazing it is mainly due to the temperature on the outside of the house being significantly different to the inside similar to what you would find in a new car.
The main suggestion I would make is to ensure that there is adequate air circulating around the house ie via trickle vents installed on the new windows or opening windows slightly ajar once a day (ensure that there are safety hinges on open windows.

Here is the link to a very interesting BBC news article I found whilst surfing the web

Double Glazing Article

It basically describes the advantages and disadvantages that were found with windows from 2004.

I am glad to report that many of the issues ie brittle windows etc have long been ironed out by the industry and many of the enhancements in the lasttwo years mean that double glazed windows are much much more politically correct.

I dont know how many people watched badger or bust about the conservatory company in Bradford but I do feel it has shed some light on the failures in the double glazing industries problems at the moment.

Obviously there are people who have been in the industry a while but if this is what the behaviour of sales staff in our industry is coming to it goes a long way to explain the sink we are feeling at the moment.

If there is one lesoon we can learn from this program in our industry is we have to be more proactive in educating our customers about product offerings and our sales approach has to be genuine and not just an opportunity as the public sometimes feels just to make a quick buck.

Generally if you live in a semi detached or detached properted a conservatory with a volume total of 70M3 is allowed how ever if it is larger planning is required. If you live in a terraced or end of terrace only 50m3 is allowed.

The problems that people often encounter when they build a conservatory with out planning is they are fined or asked to demolish the conservatory. With the introduction of home information packs it is now a required to provide documentary evidence of where yor conservatory planning was obtained via a letter from your local council.
