Websites for double glazing firms competing with the nationals
Your customers are comparing you against national brands with big ad budgets — and choosing local because they want a firm that answers the phone. Your website’s job is to look every bit as credible while staying every bit as local.

Why it matters
What costs double glazing installers work online
High-ticket, long consideration
Windows for a whole house is thousands of pounds, researched over weeks. A thin website loses to the national’s polished one before you get to quote — even if your price would have won.
Products need showing properly
Casement, sash, tilt-and-turn, composite doors, colour options, energy ratings — customers want to browse the range. No product pages means no shortlist place.
FENSA buried, deposits feared
Certification and deposit protection answer the two biggest fears — non-compliance and losing money to a firm that folds. Most installer sites whisper both.
Built for your trade
What a double glazing installer’s website needs
A product showcase
Window and door types with real photos, colours and energy ratings — structured so a customer can shortlist you the way they shortlist the nationals.
FENSA / CERTASS front and centre
Certification, guarantee terms and deposit protection stated plainly. These close the trust gap with the big brands in one section.
Installation galleries
Finished installations on real local houses — far more persuasive than manufacturer renders, because the customer’s house looks like these.
A staged quote journey
Windows or doors, roughly how many, photos if easy — then a survey booking. Matching the customer’s pace beats a bare “request a callback”.

Straight answers
Questions from double glazing installers
How do we compete with national installers online?
By matching their polish and beating them on locality. A credible product showcase gets you shortlisted; local installation photos, a named owner and a local reputation win the final decision. The nationals can’t fake local.
Can the site show our full product range?
Yes — structured product pages for each window and door type, with colours, glazing options and energy ratings. Customers research the product before they choose the installer; the range pages are what get you into the comparison.
We mostly get work from showroom visits and referrals. Why invest online?
Because referrals now check the website before they visit the showroom, and the site is the showroom for everyone too far to drop in. It works the same hours the nationals’ marketing does: all of them.
