Inspired Glazing supplies and fits uPVC windows and doors across Slough, from Upton and Chalvey to Langley and Cippenham. We use the 70mm Selecta Advance 70 system for windows, fit composite and uPVC doors, and our installers drive over from Fifield, roughly fifteen to twenty minutes away depending on the A4 and the M4. Every installation carries our 10-year guarantee, and lead times run from 10 days.

Double glazing for Slough’s mix of homes
Slough is a town of several building eras sitting side by side. Late Victorian villas and terraces cluster near the old centre and around Upton Park, the 1930s brought rows of bay-fronted semis to Cippenham and Farnham Road, and the post-war decades added large estates such as Britwell along with plenty of flats. Newer developments continue to appear near the station and the Elizabeth line. Each era needs a different approach to double glazed windows, and our surveyor will suggest the frame style that respects the original look of your street.
For a quick overview of everything we fit, see our uPVC windows and doors page.
The Selecta Advance 70 frame
Our uPVC windows are built from Selecta Advance 70, a five-chamber profile that is 70mm deep. Trade coverage of the system reports thermal figures in the region of 1.1 to 1.2 W/m²K with good double glazing and lower still with a triple glazed unit, but results depend on the glass and the design, so ask us to confirm the U-value and energy rating for the windows you choose. The same applies to PAS 24 security certification for your exact configuration.
Window styles that suit Slough streets
- Casement windows: the practical choice for most 1930s and post-war houses, with chamfered or sculptured frames.
- Flush casement: the sash sits level with the frame, a neat look that suits cottage-style and Edwardian-inspired homes.
- Sash windows: for the Victorian villas around Upton, our uPVC sash windows give the vertical proportions without the upkeep of painted frames.
- Tilt and turn windows: ideal for flats and upper floors, since tilt and turn windows open inward for safe cleaning.
- Bay windows: Cippenham semis often have a curved or square bay, and our bay windows are measured as a full set.
- Cottage and shaped windows: Georgian bars, arched heads and gable shapes can be made to match.
Quieter rooms under the flight path and beside the M4
Heathrow is only a few miles east, and Langley and Colnbrook hear aircraft regularly, while homes near the M4 and the A4 Bath Road live with constant traffic. Thicker laminated acoustic glass, or panes of different thickness in the same unit, can reduce that intrusion noticeably. Our page on sound-reducing windows explains the glass options, and triple glazing is another route worth discussing at survey.
Energy matters too. Our energy-rated windows guide explains window energy ratings, warm-edge spacer bars and how low-emissivity coatings keep heat in your rooms.
Colours, glass and security
White is still the most popular finish, yet anthracite grey and black frames are now common on refurbished Slough terraces, and woodgrain foils suit homes where painted timber once stood. We do not make timber windows; foiled uPVC gives the wood-look effect. Browse our window colours and ask us to confirm the current shade list. Glass options include obscure patterns for bathrooms, toughened safety glass where the regulations require it, and decorative leading. Multi-point locks and shoot bolts come as part of window security.
Front doors, back doors and garden doors
We fit uPVC doors and composite doors for front and back entrances, plus stable doors for kitchens that open onto a garden. Our front doors come with multi-point locking and anti-snap cylinders, and smart locks can be added for keyless entry. A composite door has a solid core and a textured skin that resembles timber. For the garden, French doors open wide from a lounge or dining room, while sliding patio doors save space on a small Slough plot.
Repair, replacement and secondary glazing
Not every problem needs a new frame. Misted sealed units, dropped sashes and worn handles can often be put right through window repair. Where windows are beyond saving, replacement is usually a single-day job per few openings. In a flat where the freeholder controls the frames, secondary glazing fitted inside can cut draughts and noise without touching the outside.
Conservation areas and planning in Slough
Most replacement windows on houses are permitted development, but Slough has five conservation areas: Colnbrook, St Bernard’s School, St Mary’s Church at Langley, Sussex Place and Clifton Road, and Upton Park and Upton Village. If your home lies in one, or is listed, check with Slough Borough Council before changing the windows, and ask whether any Article 4 direction applies. Our guide to planning permission for replacement windows explains the wider rules, and flats need their own check.
Costs and nearby areas
Every quote is tailored to window sizes, glass and finish. Our double glazing cost page explains what affects the figure. We also cover Eton, Windsor and Datchet, and you can read our wider windows and doors in Slough page. If a glazed garden room is on your wish list too, see uPVC conservatories in Slough.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission to replace windows in Slough?
Usually not for a house, as like-for-like replacement is normally permitted development. The exceptions are listed buildings, flats and homes inside one of Slough's five conservation areas, such as Upton Park and Upton Village or Colnbrook. In those cases, check with Slough Borough Council first, including whether an Article 4 direction removes your rights.
Which glass helps most with Heathrow aircraft noise in Langley?
Laminated acoustic glass makes the biggest difference, especially when combined with panes of different thickness so that sound waves are not passed through evenly. Triple glazing can help as well. We assess which rooms face the flight path and the M4 and suggest glass for each opening rather than one blanket specification.
Can you replace a 1930s bay window in Cippenham?
Yes. We measure the bay as a whole, check the structure above it, and make the new frames to follow the original angles or curve. Fitting includes new boards and trims where needed. Some bays have no proper lintel support, and if our surveyor finds that, we explain the options before work goes ahead.
How long does it take from survey to installation?
Lead times for uPVC windows run from 10 days after the order is confirmed and the final survey is done. Woodgrain and coloured frames, shaped windows and composite doors can take longer. Fitting a typical semi-detached house usually takes one to two days, and we tell you the expected timetable before you commit.
Do you fit grey or black uPVC windows in Slough?
Yes, anthracite grey and black are popular for updating terraces and new builds, and woodgrain foils are offered too. Colours can be applied to the outside only, keeping white indoors, or to both faces. Ask us to confirm the current shade list for Selecta Advance 70 when we visit.
