Homes in Farnborough can have triple glazed fixed and picture windows supplied and fitted, with surveys arranged across Hampshire including GU11.
Frame a view without a cold glass wall. 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.
Winter light and glass choice in Farnborough
By midsummer Farnborough 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 fixed and picture windows in England
The rules for replacement windows in England are set by Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments): 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. 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.
Planning: 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.

Questions from Farnborough
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.
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.

After the survey, typical manufacture time is 4 to 8 weeks, and most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days.
