Winter light and glass choice in Canterbury
By midsummer Canterbury has about 16 h 36 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 52 min, with the noon sun at about 15°. 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 flats and apartments 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
You will know exactly what you are buying: the quote states the unit build-up, frame, finish, fitting work and how Building Regulations compliance is handled. On fitting day each opening is replaced and closed up before the team moves on.

Questions from Canterbury
Can windows in a flat be fitted from inside?
Often yes, which avoids scaffolding. It depends on the window design and access, checked on survey.
Do I need permission to replace windows in my flat?
Often, yes. In England and Wales flats have no householder permitted development rights, so check with the council; in Scotland permission is generally needed only if the opening size changes or the flat is in a conservation area; in Northern Ireland ask your council. Separately, check your lease (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) or title deeds and factor (Scotland).

After the survey, typical manufacture time is 4 to 7 weeks, and most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days.
