Solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades in County Armagh: questions

Can you add a film instead?

Films are cheaper but can affect the unit's warranty and may not suit sloped double glazing. We'd rather replace the unit properly.

Does self-cleaning glass mean no cleaning?

It reduces cleaning on the outer face but still needs rain and occasional rinsing, and the inside still needs cleaning.

Which towns in County Armagh do you cover?

All of County Armagh, including Armagh, Craigavon, Portadown, Lurgan. Rural and remote addresses are covered by arrangement.
