WHS Halo Website

When you want to replace the windows or doors in your home, or perhaps add a conservatory, there is a lot to consider. It’s an important decision and can be a significant financial investment, affecting the appeal and value of your home.

At WHS Halo, we want to help homeowners make the right choice.

We are one of the largest British manufacturers of the PVCu profiles or sections that are used to make windows and a leading supplier of both PVCu and composite doors.

Our products are supplied to a network of local fabricator and installer partners and these are the national and local companies that you will deal with and buy from. They will come and survey and measure up, help you choose and then install your new windows and doors or conservatory.

It is important that you choose a FENSA registered installer (don’t worry, all WHS Halo partners are registered!) otherwise you may find problems when you try and sell your home

You may not have heard of our name or even see our brands (Eclipse, Esthetique, System10 & Rustique) as many of our customers choose to sell under their own name and brand.

But the fact is, you cannot make a good window or door without the right quality of materials and components to start with, so that’s why it is always worth asking your local window or door installer if they use WHS Halo products. Better to be safe, than sorry!

So what factors should you consider when looking to replace your windows and doors?

• Weather performance - remember windows are there to let in light but also to keep out the wind and rain, so make sure they are weather tight especially in coastal or windy areas.
• Attractive design - windows and doors 'put a smile' on the face of your home. Your windows are custom designed for your home, so think about the look you want to achieve and remember there are lots of choices including different colours.
• Great insulation values - if your windows are well made they will stop warm air escaping and cold air getting in. Your house will be warmer, so you can turn down the heating and save money on your fuel bill. Plus you will also be doing your bit to reduce carbon emissions and help stop global warming.
• Security and safety - your windows and doors need to be secure enough to keep you well protected at a time when crime is still far too high. Yet you also need to be able to escape quickly and safely in an emergency, like a fire
• Low maintenance and long lasting value - patching and painting rotten window frames is a boring chore. Forget it and choose long lasting, low maintenance windows and doors that will look great for years to come.
• High quality - Although PVC windows can look the same from the outside, there can be big differences “under the surface”. How thick re the walls of the PVCu profile ..the thicker they are (62mm or 70mm) the better? How many separate chambers are there inside the profile (which helps insulation)? How well is the window frame reinforced? What glazing options are available to improve performance? What are the guarantees, not just on the window but on the hardware such as handles and locks?

A professional WHS Halo installer will be able to answer all these questions easily and explain why it matters.

With a little planning and care, and by making sure you choose a quality system supplier like WHS Halo, your new windows, doors and conservatory can be a great success, improving the quality and value of your home. Good Luck!
