Windows
Selecting new or replacement windows, can be overwhelming with all the styles, materials and features to choose from. In addition, as windows are expected to last up to 20 years, doing some homework before you make any decisions can save on headaches and disappointments later on.
- New windows would be chosen when it is decided to change the size or shape of the current window opening, usually enlarging, and put a completely new window in its place. This generally requires the work of a contractor to complete the installation and surrounding carpentry. Again, new windows generally do not cost more, however the labour does add to the overall price.
- Replacement windows are when an old or poor quality window is removed without disturbing the surrounding trim or frame, and is replaced with a new window that is designed to fit right into the existing opening. Replacement windows cost around the same as new windows, however there is less labour involved in the installation and therefore the overall cost is less.
Basic and popular types of windows
- Single or double hung sash windows are probably among the most common windows seen in most homes. They comprise of two separate sashes which open or close by sliding up or down. A single hung window opens from the bottom only by sliding up whereas a double hung window can be opened from either the top or the bottom.
- Casement windows generally consist of one large pane of glass that is hinged vertically, and a small pane hinged horizontally, both on one side of the window or the other, and they open by swinging outwards. Usually a lever or other mechanism is used to open this style of window.
- Awning windows, or rooflights, if not fixed are hinged horizontally at the top and are opened by tilting the window out from the bottom. As their name suggests the awning window creates the appearance of an awning. These windows are most popular in attic rooms, internal rooms and in bathrooms.
- Slider windows...do just that. They slide open from side to side. These are an excellent choice when there is limited space outside to swing the window open.

Conservatories
A conservatory can be a stunning addition to any home adding extra space with endless uses, creating a room with light and space and giving year round views of the garden, as well as adding value to your home.
Orangeries on the other hand represent the ideal combination of the benefits and looks of a conventional extension. They are wonderfully light and airy spaces due to the glazed roofs as well as being cosy and inviting throughout the year.
- Conservatories are characterised by simpler styling with a slim structure and a larger glazed roof.
- Dating back to the 17th century and originally built for growing exotic plants and fruits, orangeries generally have more columns and are characterised by a glazed lantern within a flat roof.
- A feature of traditional orangeries is the fantastic range of roof lanterns which transform the room bringing in a real sense of light and space.

Garage Doors
A garage door is available either as a tilt-up, also known as up and over, or a sectional roll-up, or roller.
A up and over garage door opens by rotating out and upward. They are less expensive but have some disadvantages, such as not being able to operate if objects are placed too close to the door, and letting some snow and water in when it's used.
A sectional roller garage door has four or more hinged horizontal panels that roll over tracks and lie against the ceiling, or roll up, when the door is open. Sectionals are more expensive and do require professional installation, but they do not use up additional garage space and are usually stronger and safer.
Automatic door openers are becoming standard, and can be easily used with both types of doors.
There are basically four types of material used to make a garage door...
- Wood
- Steel
- Aluminium
- Fiberglass
Optional windows and glass inserts can be added to most doors for practical or for aesthetic reasons.
