Thinking about upgrading your home with double glazing but feeling confused by the terminology? At 2homeservices, we believe in making home improvement simple.
Choosing between a Full Frame Replacement and Insert Windows can impact your budget, the look of your home, and your overall comfort. Here’s everything you need to know to make the right choice!
Option 1: Insert Windows (The "Retrofit" Approach)
This solution involves replacing only the moving parts (sashes) of your windows while keeping the original timber frames, sills, and external facings intact.
Best For: Historic or character homes where you want to keep that beautiful timber look.
The Pros: * Cost-Effective: Less labor and fewer materials mean a friendlier price tag.
Minimal Disruption: Installation is quick and mess-free.
Character Retention: Keeps the original soul of your home.
The Catch: Your existing window frames must be in good, sturdy condition (no rot!).
Option 2: Full Frame Replacement (The "Total Refresh")
This is a complete overhaul. We remove the entire window system—frames, sills, and architraves—and install a brand-new, thermally enhanced window unit into the opening.
Best For: Homes with rotting frames or owners looking for a modern design transformation.
The Pros:
- Peak Performance: Maximum thermal efficiency and noise reduction.
Design Freedom: Want to turn a window into a door or change the layout? This is your chance.
Fix Underlying Issues: We can address any hidden structural or moisture issues around the window cavity.
The Catch: Higher initial investment and a more involved installation process.
