Our Windows FAQs
Choosing new windows can be a tough decision, but don’t worry, at ecoSafe we’re here to help! We’ve answered some of the most common questions we get asked which you may find useful.
Double glazing has a number of benefits over single glazing. It is an ideal choice to improve your home’s energy efficiency, as the layer of insulation between the two glazing panels ensures maximum heat retention inside your home and minimum heat loss from the outside pane. This also helps reduce the noise pollution that enters your home.
In addition to noise insulation and saving on your energy bills, the double-glazing cost could be a wise investment, as it may increase your property value.
We provide a wide range of replacement windows to suit all needs. You can choose between window sash replacement, which is ideal for more traditional and period properties, or replacement casement windows from our range. There’s also Tilt and Turn replacement windows which offer excellent flexibility. Whichever option you choose, you’ll get peace of mind with our extensive 15-year guarantee on our clear glazed casement sealed units and 10-year guarantee on all our window products.
We can’t give you an exact figure for your window replacement cost, as there is no standard pricing, and the cost of your replacement windows will depend on a wide variety of factors. These include your home, the specific window product and design you choose, the finishing options, such as sills, glazing, colours and handles, as well as the manufacturing quality and the time taken by our fitters to install your windows.
Our specially qualified advisors can discuss your window glass replacement and payment options, so you get an accurate quote.

Condensation can sometimes occur between double glazing panels. This can be caused by the sealant around the double-glazed glass failing and allowing the warm air from inside your home to enter the air gap between panes. Condensation will then form as the surface temperature of the double-glazed window is cooler than the room. If you see this, it could be time to replace or upgrade your old windows.

Much of the energy saving benefit is made in the jump from single glazed windows to ‘A’ rated double glazing. Whilst there are incremental savings to be made from double glazing to triple glazing, it is often in our experience not offset by the additional cost of triple glazed windows.
Our recommendation to our customers is that double glazing strikes the best balance between cost and the benefits of excellent thermal insulation, noise reduction and a positive energy rating. We would only recommend triple glazing for a few cases such as living close to a very busy road where there are advantages to their sound reduction.

You can buy uPVC door paint to change and update the appearance of your exterior doors. However, we would advise against doing so, as this can result in a lower standard of finish which can deteriorate over time. Additionally, painting your uPVC door could invalidate your warranty.
uPVC and composite doors are the most popular door options, and both have their own benefits. uPVC doors are largely made from plastic and are more affordable and practical, whereas composite doors are made from several materials to provide enhanced security however, can be more expensive than uPVC.
