It’s important to have high-quality windows in your home, but it’s just as important to be eco-friendly. Here at Inspire Windows, we’re dedicated to being as green as possible, and that means using sustainable materials – whether we’re replacing your windows or doing you some new French doors, you can always rest assured that the products we’re giving you have come from the greenest sources available.

So what’s our environmentally sound material of choice? Aluminium, of course! Our aluminium products are sustainable, sturdy, and most importantly of all, they last for decades. Waste is public enemy number one if you’re keen on being green, so we want to ensure that the windows and doors we install will last for a long, long time. Replacing your double glazing every few years isn’t ideal anyway, but when you factor in the amount of material that’s going to waste when you give up on your windows, durable products seem absolutely imperative.

Our sustainable windows use cutting-edge technology, and the aluminium that goes into their construction is sustainably-sourced; they’re exceedingly eco-friendly in every aspect! Nobody wins with cheap, sub-par windows, so do yourself and the earth a favour today by opting for our strong, sleek and stylish aluminium windows. We guarantee that they won’t let you down!

Double Glazed Windows

Why Everyone Needs Double Glazed Windows

/in /by

Double glazing isn’t a luxury any more; it’s an essential feature of any modern home. You can live without it, of course, but it’s hardly advisable, especially when you factor in how much energy your house loses through single glazed windows.

Let’s say you live in a home that’s entirely uninsulated. According to this BBC News article, close to 20% of the heat you lose will leave through the windows – this means that one-fifth of domestic heat loss occurs because the windows aren’t energy-efficient. You might think that your home is fine without double glazed windows, but if you haven’t invested in double glazing yet, your home’s heat is literally going right out the window!

Given our contemporary concern with climate change (not to mention the current economic climate), it’s never been more important to be eco-conscious. Installing double glazed windows in your home will do wonders for your energy efficiency, saving you money on your heating bills and easing the climatic burden as well. If you’re looking for high-quality, reasonably-priced double glazing in Cardiff, give Inspire Windows a call today on 02920 734573.

Choosing the Right Windows for your Home

/in /by

Windows come in many different forms, but which windows are right for your home? It’s an important consideration; all of our double glazing products are stylish and secure, but each different design has its own specific advantages. So what’s the most important factor for you?

If you favour an old-fashioned kind of beauty, then our Vertical Sliders are the ideal windows for your home. The sash window design has been with us for centuries, and our vertical sliders boast the same antiquated beauty as their Georgian predecessors, but don’t worry – they’re just as sturdy and secure as any modern window!

Still, if you’d prefer a more modern look, then perhaps you’d prefer Tilt and Turn Windows for your home. The big advantage of these windows is the dual opening system, which allows you to open the windows in two different ways. You can open them at the top, for ventilation that keeps the room secure, or you can open them like a door when you want the windows open a little further. The latter method also makes for a handy fire exit, so Tilt and Turn products might be the safest windows for your home.

That said, our UPVC Casement Windows are still our most popular windows, and it’s not hard to see why. Casement windows can be used in all kinds of different settings, and our UPVC windows are made to order, meaning that you can have more or less any window you want for your home.

Whichever product you opt for, rest assured that Inspire Windows will only provide the highest quality windows for your home. If you’d like to know more about any of our double glazing products or services, contact us today and we’ll tell you anything you need to know!

What Can Double Glazing Do For Me?

/in /by

We at Inspire Windows feel that every home should have double glazing, and while it is a standard feature in a lot of modern homes, there are still plenty of others going without. When showing a prospective buyer around a property, estate agents will still point out the double glazing, making it out to be a major selling point, but while double-glazed windows are definitely a plus, we don’t think they should be worth pointing out. We think every home should have them!

So why is double glazing so essential? You’ve probably heard plenty about its insulative properties, and while we don’t want to tell you what you already know, you’d be amazed at just how effective and energy-efficient our double glazing can be. Double-glazed windows do a lot to keep heat inside the home, meaning that you can save quite a lot of money on your heating bills and the like.

But insulation isn’t the only appealing aspect of double glazing. It’s also a fair bit more secure; even the most upmarket locations will occasionally fall victim to break-ins, and it’s comforting to know that your windows have an extra layer of protection against burglars and vandals. Double-glazed windows are far harder to break than single pane products, which means that your sturdy glass panes will stand up to a lot more pressure. It’s not just crime that’s a concern; the world is full of stray free kicks that can leave your windows shattered and unsightly, so reinforcing your windows with double glazing is always a great idea!

If you’re still living with inferior windows, it’s high time you upgraded to double glazing. Give Inspire Windows a call today, and find out how easy it is to switch!

When we say ‘stained glass’, you probably think ‘church’, but decorative glass isn’t just for Sundays. We at Inspire Windows can provide a wide range of stylish colour designs that will brighten up your home and bring elegance to your living space.

Our Decorative Glass service covers all kinds of different design options. Our colourful stained glass makes a bold, beautiful decoration for anywhere in the home, but that’s only part of what we can provide. Bevelled glass can be used to create intricate patterns that are just as striking as a full-colour stained glass panel, and we can utilise elements like the Georgian bar to divide your double glazing up in any way you choose. In short, we can create a completely bespoke window, with brightly-coloured designs and elegant bevels that combine to make a beautiful, unique whole.

Decorative glass is a delightful way to add distinction to your home. Whether you’re decorating your front door, your living room, or your conservatory, the Inspire Windows experts are sure to come up with something that suits you.

Time for Replacement Windows

Do I Need Replacement Windows?

/in /by

Sometimes, a little bit of TLC is all it takes. A fresh coat of paint or a squirt of WD-40 can often be enough to return old windows to good working order. But when it’s over, it’s over, and if your windows really have fallen into disrepair then it could well be time for replacement windows.

But not everyone is a double glazing expert, and it can sometimes be difficult to spot that your windows are past their prime. It’s important to have sturdy, good-quality windows at all times, but it’s a shame to waste good windows by replacing them before their time. To help you decide whether or not you need replacement windows, here are a few pointers from the experts here at Inspire:

  • Can you see through them?
    The average window is designed to be transparent, so if you’re struggling to see through your windows then it might be time for a change. Condensation between panes is a particularly common culprit, and if you’re struggling to see your front garden because of all the moisture in your double glazing, you’ll probably want to consider installing some replacement windows.
  • Are they up-to-date?
    The steady march of progress has rendered many old windows obsolete, and even if your current windows still look fine, it may yet be worth investing in some new ones. Newer windows tend to be far better at insulating the home, and many modern products are sturdier, too, making your property safer and more secure.
  • Are they broken?
    This goes without saying, really, but it’s very unwise to let broken windows lie. It looks shabby, it can cause a draft, and most importantly of all, it can seriously compromise your security. And remember, a window is more than just the glass pane – a broken frame can also cause problems, and should be replaced as soon as possible.

Of course, even if your windows are still perfectly functional, it can still pay to invest in replacement windows. Socontact Inspire Windows today – you’d be amazed at how much difference a new set of windows makes to the look and feel of a room!

Vertical Sliders: Traditional Style, Modern Security

/in /by

Vertical sliders (also known as sash windows) have been with us for centuries. They’re a common feature in houses from the Victorian era, and they’re generally thought of as a pleasantly old-fashioned alternative to casement windows and other more contemporary designs.

But while the sash window may be somewhat antiquated as a concept, rest assured that the vertical sliders we sell here at Inspire Windows are anything but obsolete. As with all of the products we use, our upvc sash windows are built to be as sturdy and as stable as possible. The double glazed panes provide an excellent level of insulation and noise reduction while ensuring that the glass isn’t easily broken, and our wide range of colours and styles means that you’ll most certainly be able to find your perfect windows.

A picturesque Victorian-style design shouldn’t be any less robust than a contemporary look, and our vertical sliding sash windows ensure that your old-fashioned interior is bang up-to-date as far as security is concerned. They’re a superbly secure choice for the home, and they look utterly lovely to boot!
