Double Glazing In Honiton - The Case For Getting The Specification Right
Honiton sits at higher elevation than Exeter and the coastal towns, in the valley of the Otter at the foot of the Blackdown Hills. The town is more exposed to cold easterly winds in winter and experiences more frost days than the coastal strip. This makes the case for properly specified A-rated double glazing stronger here than in milder locations - the energy savings are larger because the temperature differential is greater and the heating season is longer.
The housing stock in Honiton is varied. The historic town centre along the High Street has a significant number of older properties, some listed. The Dowell Street, New Street and the residential roads off the main A30 corridor have a mix of Victorian, interwar and post-war housing that accounts for most of our work in the town. The newer estates to the north and east of the town centre have more straightforward replacement needs.
We fit A-rated double glazing as standard on all Honiton properties where replacement is the right approach. All work is FENSA registered and you receive the certificate on completion.

Double Glazing Options For Honiton Homes
A-Rated Double Glazing
A-rated double glazing with warm edge spacer bars, argon gas fill and low-emissivity coatings is our standard for all Honiton properties. U-value of 1.4 or below - significantly better than older units still fitted across much of the town. At Honiton's elevation, the measurable saving on heating bills is greater than in lower-lying locations.
Triple Glazing
Triple glazing reduces the U-value to around 0.8-1.0. In Honiton's colder inland climate, the payback period for triple glazing is shorter than it would be in milder coastal towns. Worth serious consideration for rooms with large north or east-facing windows, or for properties on exposed sites above the town. We'll give you an honest comparison at the survey.
Acoustic Glazing
Acoustic glazing with a laminated inner pane is worth considering for Honiton properties close to the A30 or the High Street through the town centre, where traffic noise can be a significant factor. Particularly effective for low-frequency road noise that standard double glazing doesn't attenuate as well. Can be combined with A-rated thermal specification.
Self-Cleaning Glass
Self-cleaning glass has a photocatalytic outer coating that breaks down organic dirt and causes rain to sheet off cleanly. In Honiton's higher-rainfall environment, it's particularly useful for hard-to-reach upper-floor windows where manual cleaning is infrequent. Available across all double and triple glazed unit specifications.
What Double Glazing Delivers For Honiton Homes
Lower heating bills
Honiton's colder winters make A-rated double glazing more financially worthwhile than in milder locations. The saving on heating bills is measurable within the first full winter.
No more misting
Misting between panes means the unit has failed. New A-rated units restore clear, insulating glazing. Where frames are sound, we can often replace just the glazed unit at lower cost.
Wind noise reduction
Honiton's exposed inland position means it experiences stronger easterly and northerly winds than coastal locations. Double glazing provides around 30dB of noise reduction - a noticeable improvement for properties on exposed elevations.
Better security
Double-glazed units with modern multi-point locking provide substantially better security than single-glazed or older double-glazed windows.
EPC rating improvement
Upgrading to A-rated double glazing typically improves a property's Energy Performance Certificate rating - important for Honiton buyers and landlords.
Warmer rooms without extra heating
The low-e coating on A-rated units reflects radiant heat back into the room. In Honiton's colder climate, rooms feel warmer at lower thermostat settings than with older glazing.

Our Guarantee
Every window and door we install is backed by a 10-year workmanship guarantee. That covers the fitting itself - how the frame sits in the opening, how it's sealed, how the hardware operates. If anything we've done causes a problem within ten years, we come back and fix it.
The glazing units themselves also carry a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee against seal failure and condensation between the panes. Both guarantees are issued in writing on completion of the job, alongside your FENSA certificate. When you come to sell, your solicitor will ask for these documents - we make sure you have everything you need.
The guarantee only stands if the product is correctly installed. That's why we don't rush surveys, we don't cut corners on preparation, and we don't send crews who don't know what they're doing. The guarantee is only as good as the quality of the work behind it.

What Honiton Customers Say About Our Double Glazing
Genuine feedback from homeowners across Exeter and the surrounding area
"Had all eight windows replaced in our 1970s house in Heavitree. The team arrived on time, laid dust sheets throughout and were done in two days. Biggest difference is the warmth - no more draught across the living room floor in January. Really happy with the whole job."
Karen T. — Heavitree, Exeter
"I got three quotes. These were the only company who actually came out and measured properly before pricing - the others just asked for the number of windows and gave me a number over the phone. The price was competitive and the job was done cleanly. Would use again without hesitation."
Mark R. — Topsham
"Secondary glazing fitted throughout our listed cottage near the Cathedral Close. They knew the planning restrictions before I'd even finished explaining and recommended exactly the right product. The noise reduction from the road is noticeable immediately. Brilliant from start to finish."
Sarah M. — St Leonard's, Exeter
"Composite front door replaced after the old one warped and stopped sealing properly. The new door is solid, the fitting is neat and they took the old door away. Got our FENSA certificate in the post a few days later. Exactly what you want - no fuss, job done."
David H. — Pinhoe, Exeter
"Bi-fold doors fitted to the rear of our extension in St Thomas. The difference to the kitchen is incredible - it feels like a completely different room when they're open onto the garden. The team were tidy, professional and explained everything clearly throughout. Top marks."
Claire W. — St Thomas, Exeter

How long does double glazing last in Honiton?
Honiton's inland position avoids the coastal salt air that accelerates seal failure. Good A-rated double glazing typically lasts 20 years or more in Honiton. Proper installation and sealing matter - Honiton's higher rainfall and frost exposure make this more important than in milder lowland locations.
Does Honiton's elevation affect double glazing performance?
Yes - colder temperatures and more frost days mean the energy savings from A-rated double glazing are larger here than in milder coastal locations. The payback period for good glazing is shorter in Honiton's climate.
Can I get double glazing for a listed property in Honiton?
For listed buildings in Honiton town centre, secondary glazing is often the appropriate route and requires listed building consent. We'll advise on what's permitted for your specific property at the free survey.
Is triple glazing worth it in Honiton?
More so than in milder coastal locations. Honiton's colder inland climate means the additional thermal performance of triple glazing has a shorter payback period. Worth serious consideration for north-facing rooms or properties on exposed sites.
