Personalising Your Windows

In addition to options for your frame colours and glazing, there are many more ways you can customise your Planet windows, whether the priority is to harmonise with the architecture of your home or reflect your personal taste.

Things to think about
Based on our extensive experience of designing, manufacturing and installing windows for thousands of homeowners, we’d like to suggest some of the important factors you should give serious attention to, apart from the pure aesthetics of the window. These include things like function, comfort, energy efficiency and ease of operation. You can discuss the implications of each of these with our specialist window and door designers at your local Planet showroom.

We’ll give you free advice
We’ll give you advice about how many side and top openers you will need for adequate ventilation. If you’re not sure, we’ll also recommend the number and sizes of mullions and transoms (craft names given to the upright and cross pieces of the window respectively) you could have, or where dummy sashes (non opening windows) can be fitted. Whatever route you take, we’ll make sure the windows not only provide enough light and air but also look good.

Non standard shape – no problem
Planet can also provide solutions to any requirement for non standard window shapes. You can have any sort of design including every type of round or square bays, to bow windows that provide a pleasing curved alternative to traditional flatly aligned frames, a particularly attractive option when used in larger lounge windows. You can even have special shapes too – like round or circular windows, triangular shapes and every style of arch, including gothic. Where windows need to be fitted immediately adjacent to a door frame, it’s no problem.
