>It will be interesting to see some of the early results that came out of GlassTalk on Tuesday. What will be of the most interest to me is how the SGG interview went, and how they tried to justify monumental price increases throughout the year.Also, it would be interesting to hear what most people thought [...]
>RCG did a similar post on this not so long ago. Over the weekend we have a few customers contact us about condensation on the outside of their windows after having A rated windows installed. At least we know they are working! But this is an issue we are now starting to explain when demonstrating [...]

>Providing I get the hours I need, I could have the full and final draft of the new website complete by the end of the week! A lot of the work that is left is imaging work and layout designs. Most of the text is now fininshed. As for getting it live, it could be [...]
>What is the point with offering C and B energy rated windows if you can offer A?I suppose if your frame isn't thermally efficient enough to achieve an A rating, then a C or B rating is better than nothing. But in reality, there are plenty of suppliers out there now that are able to [...]

>I said on RCG's blog I wouldn't write a post about the changes to Document L because Kevin Ahern covered my point well. But I'm going to, and I'm going to be blunt!I think the BFRC and the GGF had all this planned months ago, it's all too convenient! The BFRC set up the OPTIONAL [...]

>The petition for the window scrappage scheme has seen a sudden burst of well over 120 new signatures in just over day. This is the sort of momentum the cause needs to make sure the government takes these issues very seriously.I'm going to put the link on every blog post to make sure the petition is always [...]
>It occurred to me while thinking of all the good that the scrappage scheme may bring, there could be one big problem with it. How would it be organised and policed?It was easy with the car scrappage scheme as the DVLA have paperwork on every car on the road in the UK. So they would [...]
