THE BENEFITS OF TRIPLE GLAZING ARE OVERLOOKED BY MOST HOMEOWNERS
»»
DESPITE ITS POPULARITY IN mainland Europe , triple glazing is still not on the radar for many UK homeowners .
This is the view of the Managing Director of Improveasy – a company that offers customers financial solutions to fund home improvements through its approved installers .
The use of finance arrangements by homeowners has grown hugely in the last few years but Austin says that data from his customers shows that , regardless of its benefits , triple glazing is failing to gain traction .
Triple glazed windows are hugely popular in Scandinavian countries where the climate is very cold they and are reported to offer good soundproofing against noisy neighbourhoods , enhanced security , and improved insulation .
Companies that become Appointed Representatives ( AR ) will appear on the Financial Conduct Authority ( FCA ) register ; and can then begin offering finance options , under the Improveasy brand .
Installers can also offer the finance options under their own company brand and Austin says he is seeing an increase in the number of
homeowners who are using finance to part fund larger investments such as conservatories .
