There are many considerations when you plan of availing of double glazed windows for your home. While the most common are the price, the style and the materials, there are also others that almost always go overlooked and among these are your rights as a buyer.

There is probably a consumer protection law in your country that covers your rights in buying products such as windows. If you are unaware of such law and you don’t have time to do some research, then you should at least be mindful of these conditions:

– Your double glazed windows should be as they were described by your suppliers or as per your orders. – They should be manufactured using materials that are suitable for their purpose and are of reasonable quality. – They should be fitted to your home with acceptable skill and care.

In signing contracts regarding your double glazed windows, you also need to be aware that you have rights in doing so. One of the most important is that you should be given a number of days to be allowed to cancel the contract, especially if you signed it right in your own residence. You won’t automatically have the right to cancel your contract for any reason though if you signed the contract in your fitter’s office, unless they provided a provision for cancellation.
