Upgrade your windows without replacing the frames

If your frames are still sound, you can often get a big performance boost by fitting modern A-rated sealed glass units into your existing frames — instead of replacing the whole window.

Benefits of A-rated units vs older standard double glazing

  • Lower heat loss: A-rated units typically use improved low‑E coatings and better gas fills to keep warmth in.

  • More comfort: fewer cold spots and less ‘chill’ near the glass.

  • Reduced condensation risk: warmer internal pane temperatures can help cut down on condensation.

  • Quieter rooms: modern sealed units can improve sound reduction compared with older units.

  • Cost-effective: upgrade the glass while keeping existing frames (where suitable), reducing disruption and cost.
