Double Glazing
Our double-glazed windows feature two panes with argon gas insulation, reducing heat loss by up to 50% compared to single glazing. The advanced thermal technology maintains comfortable indoor temperatures while lowering energy bills. Available in uPVC or hardwood finishes, these windows incorporate 14-point locking systems for enhanced security and noise reduction.
Conservatories
Custom-designed conservatories create year-round living spaces with options including Edwardian, Victorian, and lean-to styles. Constructed with A-rated glazing and insulated roofs, these structures improve natural lighting while maintaining energy efficiency. We offer tiled roof conversions for enhanced thermal performance and property value.
Windows
We supply and install uPVC and hardwood windows in casement, flush sash, and tilt-and-turn designs. All windows meet British safety standards with multi-point locking systems and achieve A energy ratings. Bespoke manufacturing ensures perfect fit for new builds or period properties.
Orangeries
Orangeries combine brickwork with glazed elements to create seamless home extensions. Featuring slender aluminium frames and high-performance glazing, these structures maximise natural light while maintaining thermal efficiency. Custom designs integrate with existing architecture for enhanced property value.
Doors
Our composite and uPVC doors incorporate Ultion 3-star security locks meeting TS007 standards. Available in contemporary or traditional styles, all doors feature insulated cores for energy efficiency. Installation includes weatherproofing seals to prevent draughts and moisture ingress.

We have had a team in, Steve and crew, who have been fantastic. We have had a whole new porch installed and the workmanship, expertise, communication and consideration is exceptional. If you want a team of experts who genuinely care, know what they are doing and discuss the work with you professionally- you couldn't ask for better. They even meticulously cleaned all the windows and were really honest with us about the work.
I do need to record for the owners, though, that another team came before (Ryan) who did our windows. That team were terrible. They completed the work with poor quality, caused damage and, worse than the rest, they caused a significant issue and didn't say anything about it or own up until we discovered it in the evening.
Emerald have been great about it, however, and compensated for the issues and Steve's team have kindly finished a few things and corrected what they could for us, even though it was not the job they have been brought in for! True gents! In summary: Steve's team are ace. Ryan: I hope he forever suffers from cracked and broken phone screens. Emerald themselves were really good. Worth your time.

Reece and Ryan were a fantastic team. The installation was delayed due to problems out of their control, but Reece kept us up to date which we appreciated. They worked really hard to make up the time and did a top quality job, the finishing is lovely. Not happy with the very aggressive sales person that "popped by" as soon as the windows were in to see if we wanted more work done! he even started badgering our neighbours which was a real shame. Nothing to do with the team they were fantastic and i'd highly recommend.

good service even 4 years down the line. we had our front and back composite doors done by emerald in 2017 and recently had a small issue with the front door. a small crack in the plastic trim that surrounds the glass. we rang up and sent some photos in by email on request. was informed that the parts were ordered. got a call 2 weeks later to say they had arrived and was fixed just over a week later. reasonable repair time even during a pandemic. and all with minimal visits required. this was very reassuring for us as a elderly couple. thankyou emerald.
