Triple glazed fixed and picture windows in Gwent
Homes across Gwent, including Newport, Cwmbran and Monmouth, can have triple glazed fixed and picture windows measured, made to order and fitted.
The best energy performance of any window type: no opening gaps. A fixed or picture window does not open; it is one large pane in a slim frame, used to frame a view or bring in light.

Rules 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
After the free survey you get a written quote naming the frame system, the glass build-up and the whole-window U-value for every item. Windows are made to order, then fitted, sealed and made good, one opening at a time.
- 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
Can a fixed window be the escape window?
No. An escape window must open. We keep or add an opening window where one is needed.
How heavy is a large triple glazed pane?
Roughly 30 kg per square metre with 4 mm glass, more with thicker or laminated panes. A 3 m by 2 m unit can weigh around 180 kg.
Do fixed windows need trickle vents?
The room still needs ventilation. If the fixed window replaces one with vents, ventilation must be provided another way, for example a vented frame or an adjacent opener.
Do you cover all of Gwent?
We arrange surveys and fitting across Gwent.
Do I need permission for triple glazed fixed and picture windows in Wales?
In Wales, householder rules do not cover flats, councils can use Article 4 directions, and listed buildings need consent.
