FAQS

We’re based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire but we can manufacture, supply and install products for domestic and trade customers throughout the region.

We manufacture, supply and install the full range of windows and doors in uPVC, aluminium and composite, as well as conservatories. Our extensive range of products includes patio doors, bi-fold doors, sliding doors, stable doors, composite doors, French windows, sash windows, tilt and turn windows and casement windows.

We also offer the full spectrum of accessories including door knockers, door handles, letter plates, door numbers, hinges, thumb turns, window handles, escutcheons and door pulls.

There are many differences, but these are the key ones:

• uPVC has a high thermal resistance, providing protection for your home from the external elements

• Aluminium has poor thermal resistance, making it less energy efficient

• Although aluminium is resilient, it can bend and dent. Fully reinforced uPVC is tougher and more resilient, and therefore lasts longer

• uPVC is a great insulator for both energy and sound.

FENSA, known as the Fenestration Self Assessment Scheme, is the government-authorised scheme that monitors building regulation compliance for replacement windows and doors. As a FENSA-registered business, we’re regularly assessed to ensure we maintain the highest standards.

We want you to have the most secure windows and doors as possible, which is why we offer customers either the Kommerling 070 or C70 frame system, both of which provide outstanding levels of security. See more information at the top of this page.

Almost certainly. Old windows and doors are not only less secure, but they’re poor at retaining energy. All our windows and doors are specified with Kommerling frames which are extremely robust and durable, and come with energy-efficient Pilkington KS glass which is designed to retain heat generated from the sun.

We can now offer 12 colours or uPVC windows and doors, and 24 colours for composite doors. You can see the colours available by clicking the links below:

• Windows

• uPVC doors

• Aluminium doors

• Composite doors

By choosing a composite door from Lockwood Windows you’ll be investing in a premium quality product that offers outstanding strength and durability, as well as a range of design styles for both traditional and contemporary homes. This is why we recommend composite doors to our customers:

• They have a solid hardwood timber core combined with thermo plastic skins  - this makes them extra strong and highly resilient against wear and tear from the elements.

• The Kommerling galvanised steel reinforced profiles and Astral S locking mechanism make them one of the most secure doors available.

• We can offer them in traditional, contemporary, French and stable doors.

No two homes are the same, which is why we want to give our customers a bespoke experience so they can choose doors and windows that make a harmonious addition to their home. 

Not only can you select the design style and colour but we can also make bespoke frames to fit arches and round sections, as well as create integrated frames with side and top lights. Our doors are designed to bring both style and security to your home, whatever style you choose.

As long as your plans meet certain conditions, you do not need planning permission.  This is because conservatories are classified as permitted developments.

To ensure you have all the right finishing touches, we’ve pulled together a wide selection of accessories in both traditional and contemporary styles. Download our brochure for more details.

First off all, we have a wealth of experience. We started business in 1997 and since then have helped thousands of customers achieve the look they want with quality windows and doors that last the test of time.

Here are some other good reasons to choose us:

• We are on the MWCIA Top 100 Registered company list.

• We are registered with FENSA, the BFRC, TrustMark and BuildCheck.

• All products we use are CE marked for quality assurance.

Where a FENSA certificate is not applicable, a Building Control Certificate is needed. It’s the responsibility of the homeowner, builder or developer to obtain a Building Control Certificate (for example, in the case of listed or commercial buildings, or extensions).
