Which Magazine
It’s great once you’ve decided to purchase goods, so take your time in researching and checking on the product. After deciding on a purchase of double glazing for your home, you’d expect to research on the internet, follow up print adverts or even research via applications on your mobile phone. You may have collected a small pile of special offers from various companies that appear reputable or even have got as far as inviting a few of the firms on a home visit to give you a quote for the work.
You might try accessing information from “Double Glazing Magazine”, published by Turret and the long established monthly for Window Industries. It covers news, features and company profiles and dates back to 1972. Online, log onto www.the-glazine.com, a magazine link designed to raise the profile of the double glazing industry. If you can get your hands on some trade magazines, you could even get a “heads-up” on who’s going under or what’re really changing in the industry.
However, if you only look at one publication for reference, it should be the “Which” Consumer magazine. It will explain how to buy double glazing and steer you clear of doubtful salesmen with “agendas.” Find out what to do if the installation of your double glazing goes awry. You can access the Which team for legal advice too. For example, if a double glazing company were to use sub-contractors, they will advise on what to do if the work is of sub-standard or they’ve not used reasonable skill or care. Leaf through every publication you can lay your hands on, but “Which” may be the best source of information of them all.
