The ultimate in window replacement Installing modern double glazed windows can revitalise an older home, making it warmer and giving it a more modern look. Older single glazed window frames may be retro-fitted with double glazing or completely new double glazed window installed. While retro-fitting may appear more affordable it may not be the best way to go. Existing single glazed window frames may not take the weight of heavier double glazed glass leading to gaps forming over time and drafts coming through the windows. In addition, darker aluminium joinery fades. When new double glazing is fitted, a new strip of aluminium beading is inserted so there is likely to be colour mismatching. According to Kelly Tyson, windows that are 15-20 years old have not been designed for double glazing and only half of aluminium windows that are 10-15 years old are successfully retrofitted. This means that fitting
new window units may be a wiser decision. Kelly and her husband Mike own and operate Ultimate Design and Renovation, a local company that specialises in replacement of aluminium windows and doors. They also specialise in designing and constructing conservatories and wind breaks with the latter popular as a Council permit may not be required saving time and money. Kelly began the company eight years ago. She had always had an interest in the aluminium industry, sparked by her parents once owning an aluminium joinery business and by her own involvement with other similar businesses. When husband Mike joined the business, Ultimate Design and Renovation began focussing on innovative initiatives, developing features such as a different channel and wheel system for smoother and easier to use aluminium sliding doors. “Mike is computer savvy.

efficient production and delivery systems and developed three-dimensional imagery so people can see what their future conservatory or wind break will look like which is in far more detail than other suppliers provide,” explains Kelly. Ultimate Design and Renovation is also unique as it owns its extrusion so no middleman, there is more control over pricing and quality, making the company extremely price competitive and their delivery times are sharp too. From the time a client confirms their order, it is only two to four weeks before the product is installed by one of the company’s own team of installers, at a time that suits the client. In the rare event that a problem arises, it is rectified immediately. It is no wonder that Ultimate Design and Renovation have so many happy customers, explaining why sixty percent of their business is either repeat or referrals.
