Passivhaus and EnerPHit windows in Newtown
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle Passivhaus and EnerPHit windows for homes in Newtown and the rest of Powys.
Certified-component systems on request, with data for PHPP. Passivhaus is a building standard from the Passive House Institute; EnerPHit is its version for retrofits.
Winter light and glass choice in Newtown
Winter days in Newtown are short: about 7 h 39 min of daylight on 21 December, with the sun peaking near 14°. 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 Passivhaus and EnerPHit in Wales
The rules for replacement windows in Wales are set by Approved Document L for Wales (2022 edition, with 2024 amendments): 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.
