Winter light and glass choice in Flint
By midsummer Flint has about 16 h 59 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 31 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 glass-only replacement in Wales
Wales 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. 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.
- Free survey and a written quote fixed for the specification
- Glass build-up and whole-window U-value on every quote
- Written handover pack at the end of the job
- Guarantees on frames, units and fitting in writing
Questions from Flint
Can I put triple glazing in my existing windows?
Usually not in a way that helps. Most frames take up to about 28 mm units; a triple unit that thin performs about the same as, or worse than, good double glazing. We check your frames before recommending anything.
How much does a triple glazed sealed unit cost?
Where a frame can take one, our guide starts at £145 fitted for a small unit, inc VAT. Published UK figures of about £90 to £220 per unit are mostly for double units; triple units cost more.
Do I need permission for triple glazed replacement sealed units in Flint?
In Wales, householder rules do not cover flats, councils can use Article 4 directions, and listed buildings need 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 replacement sealed units fitted in Flint?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 1 to 2 weeks for units, and replacing the units usually takes a few hours to a day.
