We have probably all at some time experienced the dreaded knock on the door by the double glazing salesperson and ignored it or made some sort of excuse to make them go away.

However, double glazing in Wales is not something which should be dismissed without some due consideration. Although it can be costly, as you have to pay not only for the windows but also their installation, many people are unaware of the huge amount of money it could save them. Over time double glazing pays for itself as it can prevent the amount of heat loss in the home, therefore reducing energy bills.

When buying windows for your home in Wales, the number of panels that open must be taken into account. Generally the more panels that open, the more expensive the window is likely to be.  On the other hand buying budget windows which have few opening panels can result in a reduction of the value of your property.  So make sure you buy appropriately for your home.

Security should also be high on your priority list as although most windows have multi-point locking systems, you should also look into those windows with a stronger locking mechanism in order to ensure that your home is protected adequately.

There are many different styles and materials available, so make sure that you explore neighbouring houses to see what looks good and what doesn’t, as your decision can hugely affect the overall look of your home.

Although it is rare and usually only required for old listed buildings, some homeowners will require planning permission before getting new windows installed.  It is a good idea before purchasing any windows to check with your local council that they are happy for you to go ahead with any window replacements at the home.

Finally, when buying any product or service you should always make sure that it comes from a reputable and reliable company. The window installation industry is no different. Ask friends and family if they know of any window installation companies within the local area who have done similar work for them so that you can be guaranteed of a job well done.

Our team at Mid Wales Windows andConservatories, we have created a list of five ways to help block out sound from those noisy neighbours.

1/ Desperate Measures
You can bang on the wall repetitively – kick, scream and go slightly mental at the lack of sleep driving you to desperation. Another option is trying the ever-so-subtle “my music goes louder than yours technique” – however this rarely works.

2/ Ear Plugs
Ear Plugs can help sometimes, but they don’t work for everyone due to slightly different ear shapes, they also never filter out the entire noise. It’s also a bother to wear ear plugs all day and night. We also believe that constant disabling of your hearing will give you x ray vision due to heightening your other senses. Whilst this may seem interesting, believe me, it’s not.

3/ The Schoolboy Ways
Reporting the pests to Noise Control Units. However the code only refers to commercial noise such as music blaring from a bar down the block, not the bass vibrating from the stereo next door.
Noise problems between neighbours normally have to be handled tenant to tenant or landlord to tenant however, but informing the council may help.

4/ A Sound Absorbing Wall
Building a sound absorbing wall will most definitely reduce the tremors felt during your quiet time. Do you have the money, or the desire to build a second wall though? If you do then this may be one of the most effective method.
Make sure not to drill in to the wall either as this will kind of negate your attempts at blocking the noise and leave you with a not so pretty slab (with a hole) in your home.

5/ Double Glazed Windows
Making sure that your windows are new and in good shape, they will help to severely cut down the noise entering your house – that is unless you have a hole in the wall. If that’s the case, a plasterer is probably a better solution. Still, through complex mathematics you can actually work out approximately how much noise you will be able to block out – usually it’s at least a 50% reduction of that pestering sound!

There you have it. 5 top tips at beating the neighbours and having a good nights rest!

Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m writing this letter of thanks regarding our recently purchased Lean-To Conservatory. The installers were here last week, making sure it’s installed exactly how we want. They were very understanding and extremely helpful when it came to the interior design as well.

We decided that we wanted uPVC windows and a small wall below them, so that I could see the garden, which is very relaxing.

My husband suggested that we get had Black Doors installed, I don’t really know about them, but they work really well and it’s very nice to be able to open the front of the Conservatory fully.

The fitters were also very very good at cleaning the mess they made as they went. Obviously there was some mess to be expected and they kept our garden as clean and tidy as they could.

Thank you once again for our beautiful Conservatory.

Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Patterson
