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.
