Winter light and glass choice in Llantwit Major
Winter days in Llantwit Major are short: about 7 h 50 min of daylight on 21 December, with the sun peaking near 15°. That low angle reaches deep into south-facing rooms, so we match the glass to each elevation rather than using one spec for the whole house.

Rules for alu-clad timber windows in Wales
In Wales, replacement windows must meet 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. As in England, replacement windows are a controlled fitting: a competent person scheme installer self-certifies the work, or building control approves it.
Before ordering: Householder permitted development rules do not cover flats, and councils can remove rights with Article 4 directions. Listed buildings need listed building consent. Check with your council before changing the style or material.
How it works
The surveyor measures every opening, checks ventilation, escape windows and safety-glass zones, and talks through styles. Your written quote lists each item with its glass build-up and U-value, and the price is fixed for that specification.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
Questions from Llantwit Major
Is alu-clad timber worth the extra cost?
