Whether you're looking for timber or woodgrain finish windows or a whole conservatory, we have gathered some of the best companies to try
Over its 20 years of trading, the family-run company Emerald Windows and Doors has been trusted by thousands of homeowners across the south west of England to provide quality windows and doors, and has now been named Swindon's No. 1 installer. Emerald has tried and tested several products, but still lands on Infinity flush casement windows as the superior choice for high-end installation projects. The timber replication is achieved by the seamless corner weld, which creates a timber-effect corner joint. The slim sight lines, paired with a selection of authentic woodgrain finishing options, make it easy to recreate the look of traditional windows. Compared with timber frames, the Infinity flush casement range is extremely low-maintenance, has better insulation values, and most importantly comes with a significantly lower price tag. Located in Swindon, Emerald Windows and Doors has a showroom easily accessible from the A419, with a friendly team on hand who welcome all homeowners wanting to see and feel the products. As well as Infinity flush casement windows, the showroom features a range of sliding sash windows, aluminium and timber frames, and The Residence Collection, so a visit is the perfect way to compare all the choices available to you.

Traditional wood is both beautiful and tactile. For centuries, it has been the material of choice for windows throughout Britain. While traditional timber has natural problems such as twisting and warping over time, the engineered products from Timber Windows will not twist or rot, and require very little maintenance. High levels of insulation and security ensure there is no need to sacrifice beauty for comfort. The Timber Windows collection has been carefully and sensitively tailored with great attention to detail to complement the English home. Combined with advanced glass technology and glazing methods on both the double-glazed and single-glazed windows, the range provides increased heat and security benefits, while also reducing noise from the outside world - benefits that non-timber alternatives cannot match. With hundreds of colour finishes available, the Timber Windows range gives you huge choice, allowing you to add a touch of personal flair to your new windows. The results are natural looking windows that will enhance both the value and beauty of your home, backed by guarantees that ensure they stand the test of time.

Quality timber windows are the key to insulating against the rising fuel costs. The current energy price rises are a worry for everyone, and it's never been more important to insulate homes and reduce energy consumption. Typically, 18 per cent of heat lost in our homes occurs through windows, so households with single glazing or poorly fitted double glazing will be paying the highest prices to keep warm this winter. While the majority of UK homes already have double glazing, people living in period properties in conservation areas or in listed properties have often been prevented from having them. The alternative? Narrow insulated double-glazing units from George Barnsdale are available for heritage properties, and can be installed into frames designed to match the original, complete with putty and authentic beading. If you are unable to have narrow double glazing, the latest technology in glazing means it is possible to have a single glazed window that performs as well, if not better than triple glazing, using vacuum glazing. This has revolutionised the market, and could mean that period properties can finally overcome the age-old problem of leaky, draughty windows and doors, and boast thermal efficiencies to rival more modern properties.
