Kim, who usually deals with quotes and enquiries, is currently working from home in line with current guidance. Fortunately, she is able to continue answering your questions and pricing your new windows and doors. Simply email carrswindows@gmail.com with measurements and if possible a picture of the sort of window or door you are looking for and she will respond with a cost and design. We have loads of inspiration across our website and social media. Prior to the outbreak of the pandemic we had some considerable waiting times for parts of the year and we anticipate that once this crises is over we will be very busy again. Get started on replacing your windows and doors now to ensure your home is just as you want it when life returns to normal. 

Apart from dealing with enquiries and current customers remotely, after much consideration, we have made the decision to temporarily close. While not all of our staff are able to work from home they are all important to us.

Given the industry we are in, working in peoples’ homes, we don't want to put any of you at risk and of course we want to keep all of our team and their families safe and well.  We can assure you that as soon as the time is right, we will be back up and running. All customers affected by this decision have been notified.  

Here is an example of a sketch sent to us by a customer with some measurements, the design we then created and the finished product. We really can help you with your enquiry while working remotely. 

If you’re revamping your house then bedrooms are key. It’s the place you retire to at the end of the day – and it should be your sanctuary. It’s also the place where you want to make the most of your views and keep warm. So windows are integral for creating the perfect place to relax. Of course, you’ll probably want to opt for the same style of window throughout your home but careful consideration of who will be using the windows at height is important. You may, however, opt for a different style to create a feature in one bedroom. Here, we look at the options:
 
Room with a view
 
If you have a beautiful view and you want to make the most of it then steer away from traditional windows such as a Sliding Sash and opt for something without any bars or multiple panes. This means nothing obstructs your view. This one we fitted is aluminium, lets in lots of light and frames the view nicely.

Weather-proof
All of our windows offer protection from the elements but if recent bad weather has made you realise your home gets hit particularly hard, you might want to opt for Stormproof Casement windows. These windows feature a lip so the casing sits proud and slightly overlaps the window frame. As the name suggests, this design allows rain to run more easily off the window frame so they are very weather proof. 

​Bespoke shapes
You might live in an older property and want to update your windows without sacrificing the character. This is something we specialise in and this recent timber window was handcrafted by us. It is a real focal point of the bedroom and creates a light, airy space. 

​Ground floor bedrooms
If you’ve got a ground floor bedroom, take advantage of that and really open up the space with a French or bifold door. This can be great if it is a guest bedroom as your visitors will feel as though they are on holiday and have direct access to an outside space. Or simply use a large ceiling to floor window like this one to ensure great views from your bed!
 

​Kids bedrooms
 
If you’re replacing the windows to your child’s bedroom then safety, of course, is the top concern. Box Mock Sash Windows are a great option because they look traditional and classic while only have a top opening – meaning no big gaps for little people to get curious about.

​So there are a few top tips! Don’t forget you can pop in and see us at our new premises in Skipton for a hands-on look at our windows and to ask for more advice.
