Frame Material and Glazing Specification — How They Affect Window Costs
The choice of frame material is a major cost variable. uPVC is typically the most affordable option and requires minimal maintenance. Aluminium frames cost more but offer slimmer sightlines and greater strength, making them popular for large spans and contemporary designs. Timber frames carry a premium for the material and the additional maintenance requirements over their lifetime.
Glazing specification also affects cost. Standard double-glazed units meeting minimum Building Regulations requirements are at the lower end of the price range; triple-glazed, acoustic, solar-control or laminated glass units cost more. The hardware chosen — handle style, lock type, hinge specification — also varies in price. A window specialist in Gilwern can help you identify where to invest and where to save based on the location and function of each window.
Frequently Asked Questions — FENSA and Certification in Gilwern
FENSA is a government-authorised competent person scheme that allows registered window installers to self-certify that their work complies with Building Regulations. This means you receive a compliance certificate without needing to separately notify the local council.
The work must be inspected and certified by your local authority building control department, at additional cost and delay to you. Uncertified window replacement can cause problems when you sell or remortgage.
FENSA registered installers submit installation details to FENSA within 30 days of completion. Your certificate is then posted to you directly from FENSA, not the installer. Keep it with your property documents.
CERTASS is an alternative government-authorised competent person scheme for window and door installers. It performs the same self-certification function as FENSA. Both are equally valid for Building Regulations compliance purposes.
In England and Wales, replacing a window with one of a different specification (e.g. upgrading to double glazing) must comply with Building Regulations and should be certified. Like-for-like replacement in the same opening with equivalent thermal performance still requires notification or self-certification.
