Glass was first used in windows around 100 AD by the Romans, whilst paper was widely used in ancient China, Korea and Japan. Prior to that animal hide or cloth was placed over window openings. In 14th century England, window panes were made from flattened animal horn, with glass not that common until the 17th century. Early glass was very thick and not really transparent, but gradually glass-making techniques improved, making it thinner and clearer.
Today’s window
glass offers a clear view of the outside world and it's more thermally
efficient too, helping to keep your home warmer. Our windows are rated 'A' for
energy efficiency and are available in a large range of styles to suit your
home!
“Extremely
good communications throughout process. Quality of windows is excellent and
priced competitively. The fitters worked hard and left no mess whatsoever.
