As a local company, our aim is to bring style and elegance to homes all over Cornwall. From village homes to city flats or seaside getaways, we can help you get the most out of your house.

At CTG windows, our dream is to ensure that all the homes in our area are fitted with energy-efficient, stylish and secure windows. There's no need to put up with that draughty front door or those condensation-covered windows when we're just around the corner with our modern home improvement solutions. All our products are put through rigorous testing in our factory in Clevedon to ensure that our windows, doors and conservatories will stand up to decades of Cornish wind, sun and rain without degrading.
French doors are known for providing excellent ventilation during the summertime. If you feel a little too warm, swing them open and make the most of the breeze that French doors let in. If you choose to get French doors in your home, we will install two doors in the same frame. This means that when you open the two doors, you have a large, unobstructed space out to your garden, rather than having to separate doors with a pillar between them. You can choose to open one door for quick access outside, or both doors for maximum ventilation.
On average, double glazing has a lifetime of 20 to 30 years and like most things, as they age their efficacy starts to decline. If your windows aren't functioning like they once used to, it could be worth considering getting them replaced. In the case of double glazing that's under 10 years old, it can be more cost-friendly to have your windows repaired. We can offer a guarantee to fix your windows if they're not performing to excellent standards. If you would like to replace your windows for the best degree of thermal efficiency, contact us here at CTG and we can talk you through the benefits and answer any questions you might have.
Each sash window is tailor-made to your specifications and comes with a 10-year guarantee. Choose from a variety of different finishes including a rustic, charming wood effect, to preserve your home's character and feel, or a stylish sage green or daring cherry red for a pop of personality. When it comes to our high-performance uPVC sash windows, it's completely up to you. Renowned for being versatile and durable, uPVC didn't use to be synonymous with being particularly aesthetically pleasing.! It's now possible to recreate the look of a traditional sash window that looks virtually identical to a classic wooden and newly-painted one, minus the rigorous upkeep.
Although you may not know the name, you'll probably have seen fascias before; they're a wooden or PVCu board that runs along the roofline of your home. It serves two functions; one, to add an elegant finishing touch to your home, and two, to serve a practical purpose. A fascia holds gutters in place and provides support to roof tiles, helping avoid moisture and damp from entering your home. If your fascias are looking old - wooden ones often get damp and rot if not properly cared for - or you want to install some fascia to hide your guttering, contact us today to find out more.
If you are tired of your glass or polycarbonate roof and you're looking for a change, you might be considering installing a tiled roof onto your conservatory. Thankfully, this is much easier than most people think. The tiles we use are exceptionally lightweight and can even weigh less than your current glass roof. To be on the safe side, we always send a surveyor to your property to ensure that your conservatory has the structural integrity to be able to hold up one of our stylish tiled roofs. If you're unsure whether a fully tiled roof is the right solution for you, then take a look at these Ultraroof options, where you can choose which sections to remain glass and which sections to tile over.
If you'd like to find out more about installing a lantern roof conservatory, pop into your local showroom for a no pressure stroll around our displays. Lantern roof conservatories are a great option if you are looking to add more natural light into your home, without building a whole new conservatory. A lantern roof means that there is no commitment to get a new conservatory or large construction. A lantern roof is built into a rectangular space in your ceiling, glass panes are inserted and pitched so that they look like a smaller roof.
Choose from a huge array of styles, glass designs and colours and inject personality into your home.

Here at CTG, we have been keeping homes safe, secure and warm for over 30 years, with PVCu doors. Visit our Hayle showroom for a no-obligation quote and to find out more. As uPVC doors are simpler to mass-produce, they're also one of the least expensive options to manufacture. By contrast, wooden doors take more craftsmanship to create, making them a most costly option in comparison.

Whilst our sliding patio doors are designed to open and close with ease, they are also extremely secure when shut, ensuring your home remains safe. Open them by turning the door handle at a particular angle to release the door and slide shut as far as you wish. As the door is on rollers, it's easy to slide open and closed, no matter the size of the door.

If you're ready to start designing your dream porch then look no further! Our experts are on hand to help you decide the design and layout of your porch, simply contact us or visit one of our showrooms for more information. No matter how small your porch is going to be, we will always need to add foundations. Without them, your porch will be structurally unsound and won't last very long. We want your porch to feel like a solid part of your home that will be sturdy for years to come, which is why we insist on foundations.
If the upper floor of your property is blessed with a stunning view, French windows are a great way of getting the best out of it. However, they can also be used on the first floor if which can help you comply with fire escape regulations. Get in touch with us today for a free quote or visit our local showroom, where our friendly consultants will be happy to impart their expertise. We can answer any questions you may have about how this design can benefit and change the aesthetic of your home. The principal difference between French windows and French doors is their size and the way in which they're used.
Unlike many larger companies, we value the importance of having a real, physical showroom for you to visit. It lets you see for yourself the high quality of our composite doors or take in the splendour of our lantern roof conservatories so you have a clear idea of how they would look and feel in your home. Our showrooms are also staffed by our trained local professionals who can give you expert advice on how to make your new windows, doors or conservatories complement your home and your lifestyle.
Similar to a conservatory, an orangery is an extension to your home that is made predominantly of glass. As well as the glazing, however, an orangery also has dwarf walls running around the bottom, pillars, and a semi-solid roof. Traditionally, upper-class families built orangeries to be able to grow exotic citrus plants that otherwise wouldn't have survived the bitter British winter, and the construction became a glamorous status symbol. Nowadays, anyone can have an orangery; have a look at our brochure to have a look at some examples and to see whether one would be right for your home.
If you have an old conservatory that you want to give some TLC, then there are a range of options available to you. Firstly, take a look around your conservatory; what is it exactly that you want to change? Check for draughts, cold spots, rattling windows or warped timber frames. Perhaps your furniture is faded and damaged from the sun's UV rays, or the roof is dirty and stained. We can fix all these issues, and more at CTG. From UV filters on the glass to reduce glare and protect your furnishings, to super-efficient double and triple glazing, we'll find the right solution for your conservatory.
Lean-to conservatories harness the support of one of your home's pre-existing structural walls; despite this, it will still require foundations, which will ensure it stands strong for years to come. The type of soil you would like your conservatory to be installed on will dictate the depth of the foundations. We will arrange for a surveyor to visit your home and check what type of footings and groundwork are best, to ensure your conservatory remains sturdy. There are a number of parallels that can be drawn between lean-to conservatories and standard conservatories.
A Victorian conservatory is a classic, timeless and instantly discernible because of its pitched roof and rounded bay shape. Choose from a three-facet bay window (suggestive of bay windows that you would find at the front of a Victorian terrace house) or a five-facet bay window. The latter offers a smoother curve, though the windows are a little smaller to accommodate the various sections. You can also decide on whether you would like a dwarf wall installed alongside your Victorian conservatory or if you'd like the glass panels to extend to the floor.
If you are looking for natural light and beautiful views out of your house then look no further than a tiled roof conservatory. Operating just the same as a normal conservatory but with a cosier feel, it could be the perfect addition to your home. Come and visit our showroom to talk to one of our experts. It's completely possible to install a "proper" roof on your conservatory. At CTG we recommend tiled roofs; this is because they're lightweight and can easily be fitted onto your existing conservatory.
Edwardian conservatories are the perfect mix of practicality and style. Sometimes known as a Georgian conservatory, the flat front and high pitched roof is great for letting the sunshine into your house from all angles. The rectangular shape is versatile to a range of spaces and allows you to get a large amount of square footage. This conservatory is perfect for any use, whether that is as a dining room, playroom or sunroom. If you want to see these conservatories in person visit our showroom and speak to the experts!
It's easy to assume that stable doors might be less secure than regular doors, given that they encompass more components and moving parts into their design. However, quality stable doors such as those we offer are just as secure. Functioning like a normal door, the majority of stable doors lock together when you shut them and will provide ample security if you choose an effective locking system. Please don't hesitate to ask us any questions you have about the design of our stable doors. Stable doors are made up of two separate sections; the top and bottom sections open and shut independently, giving you the freedom to open them how you wish.
Once upon a time, conservatories were forever freezing during the winter months and boiling hot in the summertime. Thankfully, designs have come a long way since then. Benefit from a bespoke high-performance glazed conservatory that suits your space requirements and style. Our conservatories are made from state-of-the-art materials that make for a beautiful, elegant space that's comfortable during all seasons. Personalise your contemporary conservatory by choosing the colour and style you like best.

When used in conjunction with double or triple glazing, aluminium is highly insulative, saving you money on your energy bills. A thermal break is added to the frame, preventing conductive thermal energy loss; stay warm on those cold winter days! There are several factors that determine how long any type of window will last, including wear and tear, the degree of maintenance they receive and where they are installed. However, even with these factors in play, aluminium windows are extremely durable and have the potential to last decades with very little upkeep.
Our casement windows have been designed with improved security and insulation in mind, helping you to reduce your energy bills. The benefit of less noise pollution means you can enjoy a quiet and tranquil home environment. Casement windows are secured to a frame with multiple side hinges, so they can swing open or shut. You have the choice of one or two windows to be fitted inside a single frame. You can choose whether you'd like the window to open inwards or outwards, depending on your home. In most cases, casement windows are attached through a side hinge but you can choose an awning casement (top hung) window if you wish.
