Bays
Maximising the available glazed area, Bay and Bow windows increase the light entering a room by using three or more frames. Traditional bay windows follow a structural extension out from the building, creating a walk in ‘bay’ inside. When a building wall structure is flush, Bow windows use an underside support and roof canopy instead to support three to five window sections. Both styles offer single, double or multiple fixed and opening lights to produce combination frames.

Cut the cost of heating your home.
Up to 25 per cent of the total heat lost from homes leaves through windows – yet fitting energy-efficient windows and doors can slash this as much as 75 percent.
In a detached three bedroom home, replacing single or older double-glazed windows could see heating bills fall by up to £160 a year. Since a better insulated home consumes less energy, it also reduces harmful CO2 emissions.
Understanding energy efficiency
Window Energy Ratings rate windows from ‘A/A+’ to ‘G’ using a ‘traffic-light’ type colour code. To meet building regulations, all new windows must achieve a minimum WER ‘C’ rating or U-value of 1.6 or less. Doors and Conservatories are not rated in the same way but both our products are equally as energy efficient as our windows ensuring your home performs well.
Design that keeps you warm
All Formula One windows and doors use a German engineered, thermally efficient five chamber PVCu system which creates a barrier between cold air outside and warm air inside. It’s also been designed to accommodate the most energy efficient triple-glazed insulated units.
