If you’re renovating your home, or undertaking a new build project, you might have come to the stage where you need to think about which glazing systems you want to install in your home.
Choosing the right windows and doors can seem daunting at first. With so many options available on the market, it can seem like there is too much research to be done to ensure you make the right decision. Plus, with so many things to consider, from energy efficiency to glass sizes, colour options and configurations, you’re often left with more questions than answers!
Here at aïr, we like to take the stress away from choosing your glazing suite, and with an entire network of handpicked aïr Accredited Retailers, there are experts at your fingertips who will help you figure out what will work best for you.
To help you feel prepared, we’ve pulled together a list of questions that you can ask your nearest aïr Accredited Retailer to give you the answers you need:
There are a number of different door options available to choose from, including bi-folding, sliding and corner doors, but they might not all be suitable for your space. It’s important to consider the room’s dimensions and how much space you have to work with, so share your measurements with your aïr Accredited Retailer and they will be able to suggest the best door option to optimise your space.
Looking at photographs of products can give you a nice overall image of what your windows and doors would look like, but seeing them up close allows you to assess things in more detail. Simply ask your aïr Accredited Retailer to make an appointment to see our range of products in their showroom.
White and Black are the most common choice for windows and doors, but all aïr products are available in a range of RAL colours – meaning any colour is possible! Deciding which colour would work best for you is the tricky part, though, so make sure to seek inspiration from your aïr Accredited Retailer who will be able to give you some tips and suggestions on what colour to choose and what’s on trend.
If you’re on a tight deadline to complete your project, or you are trying to organise multiple tradespeople at once, it’s important to know when you can expect the products to be delivered. Therefore, when talking to installers, this is one of the most important questions you should ask, so you know when you can expect them to arrive. Every installer’s lead time will differ too, so don’t rely on them all being the same!
Similar to lead times, understanding how long it will take installers to complete the installation of your new windows and doors will help you plan the timeline of your project more effectively. If it takes two days to install your new glazing suite, you can book in other tradespeople around that, so everything runs smoothly!
Each product offers different energy efficiency ratings, so it’s all about finding windows and doors that tick all the boxes. Simply ask your aïr Accredited Retailer and they will be able to recommend products and give you information on everything from U-values to wind testing.
Price is often a determining factor when it comes to choosing your new windows and doors, so this is one of the most common questions to ask when doing your research. The cost will depend on the exact specification you’re looking for, the style, colour and material, but let your nearest aïr Accredited Retailer know what you’re looking for and they’ll be able to provide a quote.
No new window or door is complete without security, so make sure to ask them to run through all of the security features our aïr products benefit from, for your added peace of mind. When comparing, enquire about Secured by Design certification, lock upgrades and anything else you might need to feel extra secure.
Our aïr Accredited Retailers are handpicked because we believe they are the best of the best. However, in the eventuality that something goes wrong after an installation, it can make your decision about choosing a window supplier so much easier knowing they’ll be there to help with anything you may need.
It can be hard to picture how your project will come together, so taking a look at some past projects to give you the inspiration you’ve been looking for. Simply ask our aïr Accredited Retailers if they can share some of their past work, and it might help you decide! Check out our gallery to see some they have shared with us!
