New Windows and Doors: Specifications and Considerations

At Skipton Builders we have window fitters in Skipton that supply and fit all types of windows and doors to Skipton and the surrounding areas. When selecting windows and doors there are a number of different things to consider:

• Do you require safety glass ue to the size and position of the window

• Do you require privacy glass. Certain windows will require privacy glass, for instance bathrooms and windows overlooking neighbouring properties may require this and this is enforced by councils, especially when apply for planning permission for an extension that sees your building extend and overlook the neighbours boundary.  

• The fun part when selecting windows is style, type of material and colour. There are a wide range of windows to choose from. One thing to remember that the more unique the design and colour the more expensive the windows will be. 

• When selecting a new door, the same logic applies as the previous point; there are many different styles and type of door you can select but the more individual it is the more expensive it will be. Other considerations are traditional doors such as oak tend to be less energy efficient and there can be issues with swelling during the winter months, due to the door being made out of a natural material that expands and retracts in response to temperature and moisture.
