What is the difference between double-glazed glass and standard single glazing?

Single glazing uses just one pane of glass, which offers minimal insulation and does little to reduce noise or heat loss. Double-glazed glass uses two panes with a sealed gap between them, typically filled with argon gas, which is a far better insulator than air alone. The result is a window that performs significantly better in terms of warmth, acoustic comfort, and condensation resistance.

Will double-glazed windows affect the character of my older Dorset property?

Not at all. Modern double-glazed windows are available in a wide range of styles, finishes, and colours designed to complement period and heritage properties. Our Timberlook range, for instance, replicates the look of traditional timber frames without any of the maintenance headaches, making it a popular choice for cottage-style homes throughout Dorset.

Are my new windows covered by any kind of guarantee?

Yes. We offer long-term guarantees of up to twenty-five years on many of our products. Because we manufacture in our own factory and carry out all installations ourselves, we can stand behind that guarantee with full confidence.

Customisable Double Glazed Windows in Dorset

When it comes to improving your home's comfort, security, and appearance, few upgrades make as much of a difference as double-glazed windows. At West Country Windows, we have been helping homeowners across Dorset and the wider Southwest make that upgrade since 1977, and we know just how transformative the right glazing can be.

Double-glazed windows consist of two panes of double-glazed glass separated by a sealed layer of insulating gas. This clever construction works to keep warmth in during cooler months and reduce heat gain in summer, making your home far more comfortable year-round. For Dorset homes, where coastal winds and changeable weather are part of life, that extra layer of protection really counts.

Customer Reviews

Very pleased with our new windows & doors which have smartened up the whole house. They are letting in more light(with our choice of windows), we can hardly hear the road traffic now & should stop winter draughts & heat loss. They were well fitted by a professional & friendly team of 3 in a week. We have had plenty of good comments from neighbours & people walking past. We would recommend W.C.W & use them again if we had a need.
