Quality products built and installed to last

 

Armour home improvements believe in honesty, good customer service and only fitting the best products for the job. We will give you the impartial advice on each product and how it really performs in your situation so you can make a well-informed decision based on facts. Lots of other companies will give you the generic description set out by the manufacturer as they want to sell you the product you want. We believe the product you want might not always be the best for you. An example of this is sash double glazing windows in Ayrshire. Sash double glazed windows are a great design if you have an older property, but they do not perform or last as long as PVC Casement double glazing. This is due to the fact that are a sliding product with brush seals. They don’t have great compression compared to casement double glazed windows, that have a double rebate and seal with 2 tightly compressed rubber gaskets. 

We only use surveyors for the initial visit for your quotation and we give no price when we are at the house. The price will be emailed to allow you to decide without pressure in your own time. Browse through our website to take a look at the various options available to you.

We believe that with just 3 fitting teams in Ayrshire it is much easier to control the quality of workmanship than the big national companies. For example, they normally pay their installers per window, so although most of the work is carried out to a reasonable standard and the job is completed quickly, the quality of work might not be as it should. I have found in our experience; a higher standard is achieved when the installers are paid a set wage. The emphasis is then on customer service and quality of finish.

Before any install we fully sheet out the rooms we work in, carefully protecting your property and possessions inside & out. When we are finished, we tidy up and hoover the room out to make the project as hassle free as possible for the customer while restoring your property to its original state.

We only use the most up to date, high-quality products. The PVC window section is 70mm thick with 5 chambers to ensure thermal efficiency. The full frame is made from virgin plastic so will never discolour or warp. The highest quality ironmongery is used to allow smooth operation and longevity. This is important as double glazing in Ayrshire can be exposed to the elements. The salt water can easily damage cheap ironmongery if you are near the coast.

One of the most important things when fitting a new ‘A’ rated P.V.C window is closing off the cavities. You can lose a lot of heat around the outside of the frame if the cavity is open, not to mention the noise that can travel through. At Armour Home Improvements we close all cavities off where possible. Not only that, but we double seal every window. This is done by sealing the window then putting a small trim around it and sealing the front of the trim. If the first seal deteriorates through time the 2nd seal will still be there to stop any water ingress. Once the job is complete, our fitters will go over the job with you letting you check everything before you sign off as being happy.

To give you that extra reassurance we now give a full 10-year insurance backed guarantee on all double glazing. This is the best guarantee you can get, no matter what happens you will be covered.

We believe we offer the best service when choosing double glazing in Ayrshire. Combine that with a great product, the best materials, experienced installers and a 10-year insurance back guarantee why wouldn’t you contact us for a free quotation?

Double Glazing or Triple Glazing in Ayrshire

Armour Home Improvements have been fitting double and triple glazed windows in Ayrshire for many years. We offer a wide range of styles and colours to choose from. Our windows are the latest in German technology. We only use double glazing at an A+ energy rating and with a special ‘low E-Glass’, this make them a perfect combination to help keep you warm on the coldest of days while saving you money on your heating bills.

Another important factor is making sure you and your family feel safe and secure. This is of the utmost importance and our triple glazed windows are A+++ rated and gives that extra thickness to help keep your home ultra-safe. You can add some extra security by asking the windows to be ‘secured by design’. This upgrades the locking system and laminates the glass to ensure no one gets through your windows. We would only recommend this if you have had issues in the past or have concerns, as our standard windows are incredibly secure anyway. Noise reduction is also something to consider for both types of double and triple glazed glass fittings, this will help keep out unwanted background noise. If noise is a big issue, ask about acoustic glass. Acoustic glass does an amazing job at reducing outside noise.

In most cases our advanced double-glazing windows will do the job. If you feel your house is extra cold or you have security and noise issues, then you might want to consider triple glazed windows. There isn’t a massive difference in price but why spend more if you don’t have to.

Do not hesitate to call for some advice, you can even get a surveyor out for a chat free of charge if you have any questions you want to ask.

Secure by design
Secure By Design is a police backed standard, which promotes windows and doors that are designed in such a way to make life harder for ‘would-be thieves’. Well that’s our way of putting it. The police claim this initiative has reduced this type of crime by up to 75%.

Secured by design.

This is the definition of SBD by the Police themselves:
The differences of secured by design windows can be, Laminated glass, multi point locking system, dead bolts and strong steel reinforcement.

Do you need to have secured by design windows? No, not yet but at some point, it will probably happen. For now, it is only when you are doing something like an extension or new building project will they be specified.

Acoustic glass

Having Acoustic glass installed in your home not only prevents the heat or chill outside from getting inside your house. Acoustic glass also keeps the street noise from penetrating your house. This is especially beneficial if you happen to live in a noisy neighbourhood where there’s constant street traffic, near a town or city centre or an airport.

The insulation properties of acoustic glass blocks out the noise by around 75 percent. With industrial sounds and street noise pretty much out of the way, you will have a much more peaceful and quiet home to relax in, not to mention a good nights sleep.
