DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

To obtain double glazed windows that match your choice of style and complement your home, you should use a specialist double glazing fitter in the Barrowford area. Double glazed units are available in a variety of materials, colours and sizes, to suit period sash windows for older properties, to contemporary patio doors and casement windows.
