If you ask us for window buying advice, our first point will be to suggest that you consider exactly why you want to replace your existing windows and then figure out what you hope the replacement windows will offer.

It’s great to have design experts that you can bounce ideas off, especially when they have such fantastic window knowledge. They’ll guide you through design considerations, technical details and finishing touches as much as you like. This will be invaluable if you’ve never bought windows before.

Windows Buyers Guide

AESTHETICS

How would you like your new windows to look? A few things will bring the design together, such as the window style, the material used and the accessories it has. Be in no doubt that your windows will captivate people, that’s a Planet promise.

THERMAL EFFICIENCY

Keen to cut your heating costs and wish that your current windows did a better job of harnessing the warmth created by the sun? New windows will fix things and hugely improve energy efficiency to leave you with a more comfortable home that doesn’t overly depend on your heating to keep it warm. The cash you save on energy will also earn you your money back.

Tell Planet what the motivations are and we’ll provide the windows that will deliver on those objectives.

FINISHING TOUCHES

A window is so reliant on the finishing touches that it has. This includes the handle, the hinges and the locking system, plus any other adornments that you feel your new windows would benefit from having. Although they meet modern security requirements, you can ask for high-security hardware to be included.
