Carera Windows are a double glazing window and door company based in Stourbridge. Our windows and doors are built using uPVC and fitted with double glazing as standard, to ensure your home is kept warm all year round, and for improved energy efficiency in the long term.

In this article, we will discuss different styles of double glazed windows, and how they are beneficial for your home.

Double Glazing

Double glazing is a crucial element of upgrading your home. By investing in double glazing, you are adding security to your home, as this style of glazing has two panes of glass within the frame, therefore adding an additional layer of protection to your home.

You are also making your home energy efficient by investing in double glazing. The panes of glass trap a layer of warm air within the window, therefore not allowing cold air in, benefitting your home by ensuring you do not lose heat from the window. By keeping warm air within your property for longer, you will reduce the need to turn on your heating or fire, therefore decreasing the cost of your energy bills in the longer term.

Casement Windows

Here at Carera, we offer casement windows, perfect for all styles of heritage, period and newly built homes. We offer three styles of casement windows: Optima Chamfered, Optima Sculptured and Flush. 

Optima Chamfered casement windows are an excellent option for modern homes; with a slim and sleek appearance and modern functionality, this casement window style brings subtle flair to your property. 

Optima Sculptured casement windows are a beautiful, decorative version of a casement window. These windows are designed to look like timber windows that would have been used in traditional homes, updated with modern materials and functionality.

All of our casement windows are manufactured by Profile 22, a market leading manufacturer of windows. They use the highest quality products and new-age techniques to ensure that they manufacture the best windows for your home.

Sliding Sash Windows

With a signature style and aesthetic, sliding sash windows are an excellent choice for your home improvement project. Sliding sash windows come with a range of hardware options, including run through horns, pulls, knobs and optional trickle vents and Georgian bars.

Using uPVC as a window frame material ensures your home is weatherproof. uPVC does not warp, rot or twist in wet conditions, therefore avoiding the possibility of draughts being caused through this, and it cannot absorb water the way that traditional timber windows may, so you can rest assured that your home will not become damp in the winter months when we experience adverse weather conditions.

Tilt and Turn Windows

Tilt and turn windows are widely popular for homeowners in the UK. These windows are unique due to their innovative design, allowing you to open your windows without unlocking the locking mechanism, for added ventilation throughout your property without the concern of intruders being able to enter.

These windows are also great as they can be fitted to any property, bringing modern functionality to all properties they are installed upon. Our tilt and turn profiles are also 100% recyclable, enabling us to lower our carbon footprint.

French Casement Windows

French casement windows are an excellent addition to your home improvement projects. Our French casement windows have a dual opening system, therefore both glass panels can be opened separately or together, for an unobstructed external view from the window. These windows also do not need static fixings to keep the window open, as they are designed as a ‘flying mullion’. 

Our French casement windows are thermally and energy efficient, fitted with double glazing as standard, and their design includes a multi-chambered profile to keep your home safe from external elements such as adverse weather. These windows achieve an A + + Windows Energy rating. 

Bow and Bay Windows

Bow and bay windows are perfect for homeowners looking to create an open, spacious feel within their property, along with additional storage space. You can create your bow and bay window to enhance your traditional heritage home, or design your new windows to suit your modern, new build home.

Bow and bay windows enhance natural light within your home, with multiple glass panels so light can enter from all angles. Bow and bay windows are also great for their panoramic view.

Flush Casement Windows

Our flush casement windows offer a heritage timber look and aesthetic, but are durable and secure through the use of uPVC as their primary material. The window itself sits flush within the frame, so you will not have any window frame protruding from your property. 

Our flush casement windows also offer the best security performance, as our windows are supplied by Sierra Windows, a registered member of Secured by Design, a specification preferred by the police.
