This late-80s Montmorency double-storey was letting in traffic noise, drafts and temperature swings through its original single-glazed windows, so we replaced all 17 openings with argon-filled, laminated Low-E double glazing in Golden Oak on White uPVC frames to deliver a quieter, draft-free home that holds its temperature right through both levels.
Did a whole house window upgrade (17 windows/doors) and Nu-Eco got the whole thing done in a day. They're not cheap, and the lead time to get your windows manufactured is many months. But the outcome is sensational! I keep recommending them to others and will continue to do so in the future
From the very first consultation, Nu-Eco managed the Allens’ project as a complete whole-house scope, not a piecemeal upgrade spread across multiple stages. Tom and Natalie had already invested in modernising the interior of their double-storey home, so the windows and doors needed to deliver the same level of quality and finish in one coordinated step.
The process began with a detailed site measure covering all 17 openings across both levels, bedrooms, living areas, kitchen, office, wet areas and the main lounge patio door. Every frame was specified in Golden Oak on White UPVC to create a consistent appearance inside and out, with the timber-look external finish tying into the brick façade and leafy Montmorency streetscape while the white interior kept the modern renovation clean and cohesive.
Glass specifications were tailored room by room. Laminated Low-E double glazing with argon gas fill was standard across the project for thermal performance, UV protection and noise reduction — critical given the home’s position on a roundabout with consistent local traffic. Privacy glass was specified for the ensuite and downstairs toilet from the outset, built into the original quote with no revisions or add-ons required.
The window configurations were matched to each room’s function: casement windows with restrictor stays and shootbolt locking for the bedrooms and living areas, a large fixed panel in the kitchen for uninterrupted light, and a three-panel sliding patio door with four-point locking to replace the outdated lounge slider. Primed MDF reveals were fitted to every frame, giving the Allens a finished result with no need for follow-up trades.
Despite the scale — 17 frames across two storeys including working-at-heights access, the full installation was completed in a single day with minimal disruption to the family. Tom rated the experience five stars, describing the outcome as “sensational,” and continues to recommend Nu-Eco to friends and family. The investment and lead time were significant, but for the Allens, getting the entire home done right in one stage was the only approach that made sense.
A well-maintained double-storey home in a leafy Montmorency street, but behind the updated interior, the original window and door systems were failing. Drafts, temperature swings between floors, and persistent traffic noise from the adjacent roundabout undermined daily comfort. The mismatch between the home’s modern renovation and its dated windows was obvious in both performance and appearance.
The Allens wanted their home’s performance to match the effort they’d already invested in its interior. Key priorities were stabilising temperatures across both levels, reducing roundabout traffic noise in living and sleeping areas, eliminating drafts, and achieving a consistent, finished look across the whole house. Not a piecemeal, room-by-room fix.
Nu-Eco replaced all 17 openings with FORCEFIELD UPVC frames and 28mm argon-filled, laminated Low-E double-glazed units. Casement windows with restrictor stays and shootbolt locking went into bedrooms, living areas and the office. A three-panel sliding patio door with four-point locking replaced the old lounge slider. Privacy glass was specified for the ensuite and downstairs toilet. The Golden Oak external finish ties into the brick and greenery, while the white internal finish completes the modern interior. Primed MDF reveals were fitted to every frame, delivering a move-in-ready result with no follow-up trades needed. The entire installation was completed in one day.
