Replacing existing glass with Pilkington K Glass in window frames is a cost-effective way to improve insulation and reduce energy bills. By maintaining the moving parts of your windows at the same time, you can extend the life of the frames. Whether you had them fitted, or they were already installed when you moved in.
Why Pilkington K Glass is a Better Choice
Better Insulation: Pilkington K Glass has a special coating that helps retain heat inside your home.
Lower Energy Bills: Less heat escapes, so your heating system works less.
Condensation Reduction: Helps keep your windows clearer in colder months.
Simple Upgrade: No need to replace the entire window frame, just replace the glass.

Why Replacing Glass is Cheaper Than New Windows
Uses Existing Frames: Avoids the cost of full window replacement.
Less Labour Intensive: Swapping glass is quicker than installing new frames.
Minimal Disruption: No need for extensive building work.
Lower Material Costs: Replacement glass is cheaper than a complete frame/glass.
Benefits of Maintaining Moving Parts
Improves Window Functionality: Sticking or broken handles and hinges make windows hard to open.
Enhances Security: Faulty locks put your home at risk.
Prevents Further Damage: Worn-out parts can cause bigger problems later.
Extends Window Lifespan: Well-maintained windows last longer.
Why Not Get Everything Done Together
Saves Money: A single visit from the fitter means lower labour costs.
More Convenience: Avoid multiple appointments and disruptions.
Better Window Performance: Both insulation and functionality improve.
Increases Property Value: Well-maintained, energy-efficient windows are attractive to buyers.
