Most people tend to think a window is a window, so the wealth of options to select from when choosing new double glazing comes as something of a surprise to many. Follow our step-by-step guide to nail the selection process and get the right double glazing products to improve your home’s aesthetic, security and energy efficiency.
Improve your home’s energy efficiency with double glazing
If your windows have single pane glass or have double glazing units which fog or condense indicating that the unit’s seal is impaired, you can undoubtedly improve your home’s energy efficiency by upgrading your glazing. Energy efficient windows and doors help to reduce heating and cooling costs by minimising heat transfer.
There are a number of options to choose from to improve your home’s energy efficiency including double and triple glazing, low-emissivity (Low-E) or Softcoat glass coatings and insulated frames. Low-E glass is essentially standard clear glass with a microscopic, transparent coating on its surface that is better at reflecting heat than the glass itself.
West Norfolk Glass’ friendly and helpful team can guide you through the different glazing options, explaining the improvement they will make to your home’s energy efficiency and helping you to make the right decision for your home.

Protect your property and family with new double glazing
Your home’s security and the safety of your family is paramount and double glazing can help to protect both. Windows and doors need to be secure to protect against intruders, and multi-point locking systems, impact-resistant glass and reinforced frames can help to thwart an attempt to force entry into your home. All of West Norfolk Glass’ entrance doors are fitted with ‘burglar-proof’ 3-Star Ultion or Yale locks which meet police, locksmiths and British Standards.

Find the right style windows for your home
Windows and doors play a major role in the visual appeal of your property, and upgrading your glazing and entranceways will enhance both your own enjoyment of your home and may boost your house’s value should you decide to sell it.
With a wide range of window styles to choose from for both traditional and contemporary buildings, West Norfolk Glass’ team can help to create a unique design for your property. With a choice of white and coloured PVCu and aluminium frames, windows can be customised further by opting for rebated windows, which has a recessed or grooved section (the rebate) where the window sits when closed and creates a tight seal for improved insulation, or flush casement windows where the glass panes sit flush with the frame – secure, durable and energy efficient, flush windows are hugely popular with Norfolk homeowners for their seamless, clean finish.
Windows can also be customised further with detailed finishes including Georgian frames which emulate the look of a traditional, period style window, leading and stained glass. As a founding member of the Glass and Glazing Federation, the fenestration industry’s trade body established in 1977, West Norfolk Glass is a Master Glazier with the skill and expertise to create a customer glazing solution for your home.
