Window style guide
Different styles of double glazed windows.
The right double glazed window style depends on the property, the opening, ventilation needs, security, maintenance and how the room is used. Style should be chosen alongside repairability and future hardware access, not just appearance.

Choose by room and opening
Casement, sash-style, fixed, bay and tilt-style windows all solve different practical problems. The best choice is the one that fits the building, opens safely and can be maintained without fuss.
Match style with performance
Glass specification, seals, hinges, handles and locks matter as much as the frame shape. This is where an installer who also repairs windows has useful practical experience.

Questions customers ask
- Do I need full replacement or repair?
If the frame is sound and the fault is a sealed unit, hinge, lock, handle or seal, repair may be enough. Full replacement is sensible when the frame, security or long-term performance has failed.
- What should I send for an installation quote?
Send the property location, photos, number of windows or doors, the reason for replacement and any preferred style or glass requirements.
- Can A&E advise on repair before replacement?
Yes. The business takes a repair-first approach and can explain when replacement is the better long-term answer.
Tell us what needs fixing or replacing.
Include the fault, location, photos and whether the property is secure. That gives the team the best chance of advising quickly.
