DoubleGlazingBlogger (DGB) was created on March 10th 2009 as a place to air my views, opinions and frustrations on the UK fenestration market. Working within the industry in my family run window and door installation company, I get a unique insight into how the industry works, especially the installations area.In the six years writing and developing this site, I have seen the industry go from boom, to bust and now into recovery. It has changed the way our industry works and has evolved so quickly in such a short space of time. DGB has allowed me to access all areas of our industry, learn, and even become a voice that people listen to. Whether they all agree is another matter!
