When you decide to have new windows installed, you might think that choosing the supplier is as easy as going shopping on the high street and finding a window company.
However, it is not as easy as that.
You need to think about the type of window that you want for the home and you need to think about what source material that the windows are made of.
If you are thinking about getting your windows replaced, then read on for some tips on how to pick the right window company.
Tips

1. Internet or High Street Store - You might think that it is easier for you to just turn up at a high street store and just buy your windows there.
   It will be convenient for you and you could get all the windows bought in one visit.
   However, if you use a high street store, then you will risk paying premium prices.
   This is because they might be the only store on the high street, so they will have a monopoly on the prices.
   They don't have to competitive with their prices, because they have no competition.
   But, if you use an online store, they will offer competitive prices and they will be able to arrange a home visit so that you can see some frames.
   They will do all that they can to make sure that they sell themselves to you and they will help you out with any advice that you may need.
   
2. Delivery - When you choose your supplier, you will want to make sure that the cost of the delivery of the windows is competitive.
   Some companies will ask for a small fee for delivery, whereas other companies will have the delivery included in the cost of the windows.
   There are companies out there that will ask for a fee that is almost as expensive as the frames themselves.
   If this is the case, then the company is trying to rip you off and you should move onto a company that values your custom a lot more.
   
3. Environmentally friendly - If you want timber frames for your windows, then you should make sure that you buy from a company that is aware of their impact on the environment.
   They should only buy their timber from sources that are environmentally friendly.
   This means that when they cut down a tree, they will plant another and allow it to flourish in the forest.
   Furthermore, they will not take trees from forests when they know that it will affect the biodiversity.
   This means that if it is known that taking the tree will affect the wildlife, water cycle or climate of the forest, then they will not take the tree.
   
4. Customer service - You will want to use a company that has a very high level of customer service.
   This means that they are contactable by phone and email and there is always a human waiting on the other end to hear from you.
   Sometimes, companies will have a computer doing their customer service for them, but this is no longer a sign of good customer service because it implies that all of the customers are the same, when in reality, the customers are different and they have different questions.
   

Deliver on time - You should choose a company that has a reputation for delivering on time.
You should read some reviews on the company before you order and the reviews should give you some information on the reliability of the company.
