Triple glazed casement windows in Lofthouse
We arrange surveys and fitting of triple glazed casement windows in Lofthouse and the WF3 area, with a written, fixed quote after a free survey.
Like-for-like replacement for most post-war homes. A casement window has sashes hinged at the side or top that open outwards, the most common window style in UK homes.
Winter light and glass choice in Lofthouse
By midsummer Lofthouse has about 17 h 05 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 25 min, with the noon sun at about 13°. Triple glazing keeps more heat in during those long, dark months; big south and west windows may suit solar-control glass for summer.

Rules for casement windows in England
England requires replacement windows to achieve 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better, which good triple glazing passes comfortably. Replacement windows are a controlled fitting. A competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council within 30 days; otherwise a building control body approves it.
Before ordering: Replacing windows on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. New upper-floor windows in a side wall must be obscure glazed and fixed, or open only above 1.7 m. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, so a change that alters their appearance needs planning permission. An Article 4 direction in a conservation area may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
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.

Questions from Lofthouse
What is an egress hinge?
A hinge that lets the sash open wide enough to climb out in a fire. It is used where a bedroom window is also the escape route.
Can my existing casement layout stay the same?
Yes. We match the existing layout unless you ask for a change, which can matter for planning in conservation areas.
Do I need permission for triple glazed casement windows in Lofthouse?
In England, like-for-like replacements on a house are normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Check whether your street is in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction before changing the style.
How long does it take to get triple glazed casement windows fitted in Lofthouse?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 4 to 6 weeks in uPVC, and most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days.
