Choosing the right specification
There is more to a window than the frame and glazing. Hardware, glass, colour, security and energy performance all affect how the finished product works and looks.
This page covers the main options available across the Homeefe range and where each one may be useful. We install across Northamptonshire and surrounding areas within around 50 miles of our Rushden showroom.
Depending on the chosen style and system, available features include:
The glass used in a sealed unit affects thermal and acoustic performance, security, privacy and appearance.
Our glass range includes:
The choice of glass also affects how much natural light enters the room, the level of privacy and the overall appearance.
Locking systems vary by frame type and specification, but can include:
The exact security and safety options depend on the chosen system and window style.
A wide range of colours and finishes is available, depending on the frame material and chosen system.
Options include:
Dual-colour finishes allow one colour outside and a different one inside on compatible systems. Wood-grain foils are also available on selected uPVC frames, giving a timber-style appearance with lower maintenance requirements.
For the full breakdown of options, see our window colours page.
Window furniture covers the hardware used to operate the window and the visible fittings on the frame:
Marine-grade stainless steel, solid brass and PVD-coated hardware options are available where greater durability and corrosion resistance are required.
For the full range, see our window furniture page.
Acoustic laminated glass can provide better sound insulation than standard glazing. The acoustic interlayer helps reduce sound transmission through the glass, while the overall result depends on the pane thickness, glass combination, cavity width, frame and quality of installation.
Noise reduction depends on the specification:
Noise-reducing glazing is particularly useful in bedrooms, living rooms and home offices where outside noise affects comfort, sleep or concentration. Homes near busy roads, railways, flight paths, schools or commercial premises may benefit most.
For more information, see our noise reduction windows page.
Homeefe offers a range of options including double and triple glazing, Low-E glass, acoustic laminated glass, decorative and privacy glass, colour finishes, multi-point locking, lockable handles and security upgrades. Availability depends on the chosen frame material, style and system.
Glazing specification, Low-E glass, frame design and weather seals all affect energy performance. Double or triple glazed sealed units help reduce heat loss, while effective seals can limit draughts. The best combination depends on the frame and chosen system.
Depending on the system, options can include window restrictors and lockable handles. Restrictors limit how far the sash can open, while lockable handles give additional control where required. Availability depends on the style and configuration.
A wide range of colours and finishes is available, including classic white, anthracite grey, matt black, Chartwell Green and cream. Selected uPVC systems can also use woodgrain-effect foils, while dual-colour options may allow different finishes inside and out.
Acoustic laminated glass can improve sound insulation, but the result depends on glass thickness, cavity width, frame type, seals and installation quality. It can be particularly useful for homes near busy roads, railways, schools, commercial premises or flight paths.
Useful options include multi-point locking, strong hinges, lockable handles, internally beaded glazing, laminated security glass and reinforced frames where specified. The exact security package depends on the chosen system and configuration.
Yes. Many elements can be tailored, including glazing, frame material, colour, finish, handle style, locking system, privacy glass, decorative glass and acoustic glass. During the survey and quotation stage, we can go through the options available for your chosen system.
Yes. From our Rushden showroom, we install within around 50 miles, covering Wellingborough, Northampton, Bedford, Kettering, Cambridge, Peterborough, Corby, Milton Keynes, Rugby and surrounding towns.

Energy-efficient windows reduce heat loss through the glazing and frame, helping to lower heating demand and improve comfort. The BFRC scheme rates overall energy performance from A++ to E.
Indicative whole-window U-values vary by frame, glazing and configuration:
The lower the U-value, the less heat is lost through the complete unit. The biggest improvement is usually seen when older or poorly performing glazing is replaced with a modern system.
For more information, see our energy efficient windows page.
Window security is measured against recognised standards rather than general marketing claims. Depending on the chosen system and specification, our range can include:
A well-balanced security specification is more effective than relying on one component alone. The frame, glazing, hinges and locking hardware all need to work together.
For more on window security, see our window security page.
We supply and fit windows within around 50 miles of our Rushden showroom, covering Northampton, Bedford, Milton Keynes, Kettering, Cambridge, Peterborough, Rugby, Hemel Hempstead and surrounding towns. Qualifying replacement installations are registered through FENSA, with certification issued after the completed work has been registered.
Feature availability varies by window style, frame material and chosen system, so not every option shown on this page is available with every configuration.
The right window features depend on the property, budget and what matters most for the project. We go through the available options during the free home survey, and the itemised quote shows the cost of each chosen upgrade.
