At Otter Windows, we've been upgrading homes in the area since 2008. We're a Devon company through-and-through - we understand the unique character of this corner of England and we guide our customers towards design solutions that complement both their properties and the nature of the area. We're passionate about serving fellow Devonians. John Capon, who leads our team, has his fingers in more community pies than he cares to remember. His skills as a "maker of lots of outside noise" are in hot demand.
To decide on the best upgrades for your conservatory, think about the issues you have. If your conservatory is freezing cold in winter and sweltering in summer you might want to retrofit a tiled roof. If your conservatory isn't performing efficiently because the seals on the windows have failed then opt for new triple or double glazing. If your conservatory roof is dirty and stained because it's difficult to maintain, then consider a replacement with self cleaning glass. If you're fed up with faded furnishings then we can fix that with UV resistant glass.
We're always striving to perfect our products and our new and improved casement windows offer better security, higher insulation and reduced noise pollution. Wherever you live your home will be warmer, quieter and more secure when you fit these stunning windows. One of our most popular designs, our casement windows are certified by Secured By Design. This official police security initiative uses innovative and high-quality design to sustainably combat and reduce crime rates, giving homeowners peace of mind.

We're experts in home improvements and we're happy to help you with the finishing touches. Contact us today and speak to one of our experts for advice on the ideal roof trim and fascias for your home. A fascia board is a long straight board that follows the lower edge of the roof, known as the roofline. Fixed directly to the roof trusses it supports the gutter and the lower line of tiles while adding an attractive decorative finish. The fascia board is then joined to the house with a soffit creating a tightly sealed unit that weather proofs your property.

If you only have single glazing then it's definitely worth upgrading to double glazing for lower bills and greater security. But if you already have older style double glazing it may be worth having it replaced as seals fail and your windows can become less efficient over time. If your double glazing is under 10 years old it may need repairing to perform at its best. At Otter Windows, our double glazing carries a written guarantee so we'll repair your windows if they're not performing at their best.
Triple glazing is the best performing glazing on the market. As a comparison, let's look at the U-value of double glazed and triple glazed windows. The U-value measures the amount of heat lost, and the lower the value, the higher the level of insulation. Double glazing has a U-value of 1.2 while triple glazing has a value of just 0.6, meaning it performs twice as well as double glazing. This excellent performance means you'll start to see savings on your energy bills. At Otter Windows, we supply all our triple glazed products with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee but your windows are likely to last much longer.

Aluminium as a material conducts heat, so our aluminium windows are fitted with a thermal break to prevent cold air getting into your home.

There's no better way to add style, space and value to your home, so contact us to arrange a specialist survey and get a free, no obligation quote. We can replace like for like or create a stunning feature from scratch. There's never been a better time to let the sun shine in so get in touch and add the beauty of bay or bow windows to your home! Hanging curtains in a bay or bow window is less straightforward than in a casement or sash window, but there are specialised curtain rods that make the job quite straightforward.
Our bifold doors can be hung from a bottom or top track. We generally recommend having a bottom track for greater stability and ease of use. If you don't want your flooring cut, however, we can also hang your doors from a top track but this requires a strong lintel as the track will support the full weight of your doors. Bifold doors add a real wow factor to your home and are an attractive feature for potential buyers. Energy efficient and secure, our bifold doors seamlessly connect your home and garden, allowing fresh air and natural light into the home and creating a sense of space.
An orangery was once a status symbol for the grand houses of Europe, a building where citrus trees could be grown and enjoyed in harsher climates. Nowadays an orangery is a style of conservatory that's more robust and energy efficient than a fully glazed option, incorporating dwarf walls and brick pillars that can be perfectly matched to your existing brickwork. However, with its lantern roof and glazed walls you'll still enjoy exceptional lightflow with additional privacy, making an orangery the perfect choice for your home.
Happy with the installation of all windows and doors, house has been completely reshod.
Particularly happy with the rear or back door which I asked to be a barn door, the engineer was honest and gave me proper advice so I ended up with a split/tilt/open barn door, which far exceeded my expectations
All work was carried out to a professional finish, the installer was a very pleasant chap who cleaned up behind himself and left the place clean and tidy.
