French Windows

French windows are suitable for all types of homes. They can be made in wood and uPVC and are a great alternative to the simple casement window. In some European countries, they are the norm, but in Ireland, they are becoming very popular. Aesthetically pleasing and will enhance the appearance of any home. Both sashes can be opened together or just one for a small amount of ventilation.

French Windows are an Ideal Fire Escape Solution

Currently, there are strict regulations with regard to the provision of fire escapes in bedrooms.  We don’t have to be reminded of the fatal tragedies that have befallen some families because of inadequate openings in bedrooms. It is too late for these unfortunate victims, but for homeowners now it’s most important to be vigilant.  If you read the current building regulations, you will get the details on the provision of fire escapes in relation to replacement windows.

 Prices

Just like all other windows, prices vary. The price depends on the size and colour required. Many companies in the industry used white as the base price and increase by a percentage for colours. Another feature of the window which will alter the price is the glazed unit. The most common unit is the double glazed unit, but we are seeing a big demand for triple glazed units, especially in heavy traffic areas. The reason for this is that triple glazing provides a greater level of sound insulation. To upgrade your windows from double to triple glazing should only cost  10 to 15% extra.
