A lean-to is normally the most cost-efficient option which makes it ideal if you are working to a budget. It is a functional, modern design and the simplicity creates maximum usable space and offers a solution for porches and bungalows, as well as homes requiring an extension. The lean-to is often combined with other styles such as the Victorian or gable-end conservatories to create more elaborate designs.
Bi-fold (or folding) doors are an exquisite touch to any home, giving a glass wall effect which provides panoramic views and brings the light and warmth of the outside in. They are Ideally suited as a room divider, patio screen or contemporary feature wall. With 18 different styles and a choice of two- to six-leaves combinations there is something for every setting.
The sash window has been a feature of British houses for several centuries. We have improved and updated the design. Our replacement PVCu sash windows slide up and down but also tilt inwardly for ease of cleaning and ventilation. The beautiful sculptured frame, bead and Georgian bar of the sash window fully integrates with any other PVCu window in our range - you can confidently mix and match styles throughout your home.
During this period, Dawes & Windows Ltd were members of The Double Glazing & Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme (DGCOS). Part of the benefits of the scheme was the DGCOS insurance-backed guarantee which became active in the unlikely event that we ceased trading. This was part of their so-called piece of mind pack provided to you and paid for by us. Many of you will already have received letters explaining that the insurance company 'Enterprise' that DGCOS placed the policies with has gone into liquidation.

Our doors are also endorsed by the Official Police Security Initiative, and the Neighbourhood watch.

Our doors are beautiful, durable and well able to withstand the extreme weather conditions we see here in Cornwall. Security is a major issue to be considered when selecting your new door and all our products are rigorously tested, internal glazing ensures that glass can only be removed from the inside a real deterrent for a would be intruder.
Here at Dawes and Windows we understand the growing importance of energy efficiency. Double glazing is a big factor of making a home more efficient, that is why we have ensured we can provide the very best energy efficient product available. WER's purpose is to provide a simple method of demonstrating which windows are most energy efficient, using a simple A-G scale - A for most energy efficient and G for least efficient. These same labels pioneered on electrical white goods - fridges etc. As standard all doors and windows are 'C' rated from standard at no additional cost to you, at a small additional cost 'A' rated glass is available for the majority of products.
Patio doors are available in variants of two-, three-, or four-pane sets, dependent on the size of opening. They are a very popular choice here in Cornwall due to the fact that they are unaffected by the wind due to the sliding mechanism used in their manufacture. They are also a favoured choice where space is an issue. Our patio doors also incorporate a tilt feature to allow more airflow whilst maintaining security.
PVCu doors are the most cost-effective in our collection. Surprisingly, this is not at the expense of quality. It is simply down to the fact that the manufacturing process is simpler and quicker than most other styles. The doors are available in a wide range of different styles and designs, testament to why they are such a popular choice.
Victorian conservatories are usually constructed with three or five facets at the front giving the conservatory that rounded affect. The facets don't necessarily have to be the same size. Although you can lose space with this design this can be used to your advantage, especially where a neighbour's boundary impinges on your garden, or where you need to maintain a walkthrough.
On all jobs where we replace any roof trims it is standard practice to install new guttering. The aim is to offer a hassle-free, low-maintenance system. Our guttering will not discolour and is made of high-impact plastic which is unlikely to snap if hit by a tile or branch. The guttering joints we use have rubber seals and also feature an ultra-tight snap-in system to stop them coming apart. We offer guttering in black, toffee, and white.
The Edwardian style features square corners which provide maximum usable space. The generous roof pitch also allows plenty of air movement. This is a stylish and practical alternative to the Victorian style and consequently is a popular choice.
Customers tell us that their Dawes and Windows conservatory is their favourite room. Whether you want space to relax and enjoy the view, a place to dine or somewhere for children to play whatever the weather we can help. Our experienced surveyors will guide you through the process choosing the right style of conservatory to compliment your home. We use the latest design technology to help you visualise how your new conservatory will enhance your home. You can enjoy your new conservatory safe in the knowledge that it is constructed to the highest standard and is able to withstand the harshest weather conditions.
Bargeboards are an important element in keeping your property watertight. These are the boards that start at the fascia box end then run up to the gables and protect the top layers of brickwork, preventing water ingress between the brickline and roofline. Out of all the roof trims bargeboards see the worst of the weather. Ours are made from the latest, quality PVCu and we also use marine specification stainless steel pins and screws to prevent unsightly rust run marks.
A gable-end conservatory has square corners to maximise usable floor space and is similar to the Edwardian style. The main difference is the roof which features an apex, with a distinctive flat gable-end. We can design the gable-end to suit your unique requirements - a popular choice is the Georgian bar sunburst effect.
The Cornish climate can a be a real challenge to your home. At Doors and Windows we offer high quality PVC fascia and guttering products that are more than equal to the task.
