Going green with Everest
We all like to feel that we’re making a contribution towards protecting the environment, and at Everest we’re no exception. In fact we pride ourselves on the energy-efficient qualities of our products and services. Our double glazed windows, entrance doors and flat roofs can help to reduce your energy consumption considerably by minimising heat loss, our timber products are responsibly sourced and our solar PV systems allow you to harness green, natural energy to power your home.

Transform your home for less this Christmas
As the cold nights continue to draw in, the extra level of thermal protection offered by top quality double glazed windows and doors becomes more important than ever. Cold draughts and weather damage can really put a dampener on your Christmas spirit, not to mention ramping up your energy bills by forcing you to rely on central heating for longer. That’s why here at Everest we’re offering an extra incentive to help you to transform your home in time for the holiday season. View all of this post >
Is your home ready for winter?
With Christmas decorations already cropping up across the UK and the changing of the clocks marking the official end of British Summer Time, there’s no escaping from the fact that winter is upon us once more. While there are many things to enjoy about this time of year, cold nights and soaring energy bills aren’t among them. That’s why ensuring that your home offers as much warmth and protection as possible this winter should be one of your highest priorities. Here’s just a few of the ways that Everest can help…
Even if you already have double glazing, you could still be letting out more heat than necessary if your windows are worn-out or badly fitted. Everest’s double glazed windows are specially designed for optimal insulation, and are available with features such as double weather-resistant seals, low-emissivity glass to reflect heat back into the room, and the latest thermal barrier technology to minimise heat transfer through the frame.

Considering how much time we spend in them, it’s all too easy to overlook your hallway when it comes to redecorating your home. It’s the first thing you see when you get home after a long day, and also the first impression visitors will get when they step through your front door.
So, with all of this in mind, it’s definitely worth the time and effort to make your entrance hall as attractive and practical as any of the rooms it leads into. There are a number of things you could do to make your hallway more appealing – from hanging some family photos to creating an understated storage space for all the bits and pieces that tend to gather and create clutter. However, one of the most significant factors that can determine how pleasant your hallway looks and feels is the state of your windows and front door.

If you’re living in a picturesque older property, it can be difficult to find the balance between enjoying the warmth, peace and security that can only be provided by modern conveniences and retaining the traditional charm of your home. This is particularly true when it comes to external features such as windows and doors.
At Everest, we offer a comprehensive range of timber sash and timber casement windows that enable us to match your existing windows as closely as possible, so there’s no need to compromise the appearance of your home.
Timber has been a popular material in window frame design for centuries, and it has retained its popularity due to its versatility, strength and excellent thermal properties. We only use the highest quality tropical hardwood or European softwood, from responsibly managed resources. The quality of the wood is reflected in our long-term guarantees, such as our thirty year guarantee against wood rot and fungi, and our ten year guarantee on all materials and workmanship.

What is more, they are available in a choice of 18 different colours with the option of choosing a different colour for the inside and outside of your window. From high-gloss white to stately Bordeaux red, our aluminium colours make it easy to create a personalised colour scheme for your home.
