Transform your home with our one-stop shop window service
At face value, windows in any building are there to let in light and provide adequate ventilation. Yet beyond this, there is so much more to consider when choosing new replacement windows. Aspects such as energy-saving efficiency within the home and the transformative aesthetics of different window styles can often be overlooked.
Not by us.
At CN Glass, we specialise in creating windows tailored to the home with a stunning range of colour options that maximise
your property’s full potential. Our commitment to quality and craftsmanship ensures that every window we install in the Banbury area is built to last.
Key Considerations When Choosing Window Type
Selecting the right window for your home is crucial for both aesthetics and functionality. Consider factors such as your home's style, climate, energy efficiency goals, and desired level of security. The best window type will depend on your specific needs and preferences.
Energy Saving & Thermal Performance
By investing in energy-saving windows you can significantly reduce energy consumption in your home, lowering the cost of your bills, and reducing your carbon footprint.
Window thermal performance is addressed in the FENSA Document L of Building Regulations, with the Window Energy Rating scale used on all new windows to indicate the U-value (in much the same format as is used for electrical appliances). The lower the U-value of the overall window frame and glass combined then the more energy saving it will be.
As a fully registered FENSA company, we at CN Glass only install double-glazed windows to the highest quality and are fully compliant with energy-saving building regulations.
Planning Permission
If you’re switching out existing windows you’ll generally be allowed to replace the windows on a like-for-like basis without having to seek Building Regulations or Planning Permission. If the changes you intend to make are considerably different to the existing windows however, you may have to obtain the relevant planning permission.
Security benefits should also be a crucial decision
Security should also be a crucial part of your specification for window type as they are the weakest point of entry for potential burglaries. By investing in high-quality, secure windows you will have peace of mind that your property is safe and secure. Our team supply and install windows in the Banbury area that meet the British Standard criteria for security and have Secure by Design status.
Regular cleaning and maintenance of moving parts is essential
Low maintenance is a standard requirement these days, UPVC and Aluminium are almost maintenance free. Painted Timber will require some attention but modern factory- applied finishes will continue to look good for up to 10 years before you will need to reapply any paint or stain coatings. Of course, regular cleaning and maintenance of moving parts is essential for the longevity of serviceable life for all window materials.
Window Styles
WINDOW MATERIALS
It doesn’t matter if a customer requires just a small piece of glass or a grand design project with large and complex plans for glass we will always enjoy the challenge of turning an idea into reality.
Aluminium Windows
Aluminium windows are right on trend for designer homes and often specified by Architects. Colours are powder coated onto the Aluminium and the frame thickness is usually slimmer than UPVC.
Modern home styles of a cream colour flat rendering look particularly good with dark coloured Aluminium frames or they make an excellent replacement for the traditional, sometimes industrial metal Crittall style windows.
Timber windows
Our timber window types are the most expensive and they will either be softwood or hardwood, there is no longer much difference in cost and the timber is responsibly sourced and traceable.
The coatings come with long guarantees and will retain their beautiful appearance in your home for many years. Timber has qualities of warmth and tradition and somehow they just always look particularly beautiful installed into any style of building.
