Ways we can help in Cowes
Roof Lanterns in Cowes
Glass for lanterns usually comes with a self-cleaning outer coating that helps rain wash away dirt, and a choice of clear, neutral or blue-tinted solar-control glass. Solar-control glass limits heat build-up under a south-facing lantern, while clear low-E glass suits shaded or north-facing rooms.
Secondary Glazing in Cowes
If an existing window is relied on for escape in a fire, the secondary glazing in front of it must open easily and give enough clear opening. The surveyor checks which windows are escape windows, so the opening style and catches do not block a way out.
Safety Glass in Cowes
Laminated glass is two or more sheets bonded with a plastic interlayer, often PVB. If it breaks, the pieces stick to the interlayer and the pane stays in place. That makes it useful for overhead glass, ground-floor security and openings where an empty hole would be a risk.

Glazing in Cowes: questions
Can landlords and managing agents open an account?
Yes. We can work with landlords, letting agents, housing providers and facilities teams on reactive glass replacement and planned glazing work, with a written quote per job and photos of the finished work on request.
Can I cancel after accepting a quote?
If you contract at home or remotely, you normally have 14 days to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Made-to-measure goods that have been made to your specification may not be cancellable once production starts; your quote and terms explain this clearly.
How do payment and deposits work?
Payment terms are set out on your written quote. For made-to-measure items a deposit may be requested before ordering, and the quote explains when the balance is due.
What should I do if a window has just broken?
Keep people and pets away from the glass, wear thick gloves if you need to move anything, and call us. We can arrange boarding or temporary glazing to make the opening safe, then measure for permanent glass. If there has been a break-in, report it to the police and note the reference for your insurer.
