Guarantees on Windows, Frames and Hardware
Quality window installations in Barnstaple come with multiple layers of guarantee. The glass unit typically carries a manufacturer's warranty against seal failure (usually 5–10 years). The frames — uPVC, aluminium or timber — should be covered by a manufacturer or fabricator guarantee. Hardware such as handles, hinges and multipoint locking mechanisms may be warranted separately.
Your Window Specialists should also provide their own workmanship guarantee covering the installation itself. Ask for all guarantee documents in writing before the job begins and keep them in a safe place alongside your FENSA certificate.

FENSA Registration and Compliance Costs for Windows in Barnstaple
When a FENSA or CERTASS registered installer replaces windows in Barnstaple, a registration fee is payable to the competent person scheme to cover the cost of issuing your compliance certificate. This fee is usually modest and is typically included within the installer's quote rather than charged separately — but it is worth confirming this when comparing proposals.
If a window company you are considering is not FENSA or CERTASS registered, you would need to apply to the local authority building control department yourself and pay their associated fees. This route also involves an inspection visit, adding both cost and delay to the project. Using a registered Window Specialists avoids all of this.
Frequently Asked Questions — Glass and Frame Types in Barnstaple
uPVC is the most common and cost-effective frame material, requiring minimal maintenance and available in a range of colours and finishes. Aluminium offers slimmer profiles and greater strength for large openings, at higher cost. Timber provides a traditional aesthetic and can be repaired and repainted indefinitely, but requires regular maintenance.
Building Regulations Part N requires safety glazing in locations where human impact is likely — such as large low-level panes, glass adjacent to doors and glass in doors. Toughened glass fractures into small, relatively harmless fragments. Laminated glass holds together when broken. Your installer will specify the correct type for each location.
Argon is a denser gas than air, which reduces convection within the double-glazing unit and improves its thermal performance modestly. Most quality double-glazing units are argon-filled as standard and the cost difference is minimal.
Low-E glass has a microscopic metallic coating that reflects heat back into the room rather than allowing it to escape through the glass. It is standard in modern double-glazing units and significantly improves thermal performance compared to uncoated glass.
