Thankfully, no. While many believe that uPVC patio doors offer an easy entry into homes, this is false. Double glazing is remarkably difficult to smash, with a number of features in place – from toughened glass to robust frames – to avoid breakage. On top, burglars tend to shy away from loud, attention-grabbing entry techniques, instead opting to pick a lock – something we make incredibly difficult.

While exchanging small-scale windows for large panes of glass will reduce your home’s thermal efficiency, you will undoubtedly notice an increase in heat making its way from the sun into your living space, before becoming trapped by the layer of argon sandwiched between the double glazing.

While both options are overflowing with benefits, the jury is still out on which style is best. While uPVC bi-fold doors are adored for their ability to open up your home, achieving a Mediterranean, sun-drenched feel, they are often overlooked due to their bulky frame. In comparison, uPVC patio doors may only open to 50%, but their slim frame and sleek visuals make them a popular choice for those seeking a contemporary, light-filled interior.

We are vetted by multiple external entities including FENSA and VEKA-IN who ensure we maintain our top class service. As a reputable company, we are registered with the FCA as IAR, registered with Companies House and fully VAT registered. There is not many double glazing companies that can match our high standards.
