Good windows & Doors make a house feel better. They keep the warmth in, the noise out and the draughts away, and they look good from the street.
At Glitz Windows & Doors, we supply and fit uPVC windows for homes across Croydon, and we repair and replace existing ones too. Whether you live in a Victorian terrace in Thornton Heath, a 1930s semi in Shirley or a flat in central Croydon, we’ll help you choose windows that suit your home, and fit them properly.
uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) is the most popular window material in the UK, and for good reason. Here's what you get:
Multi-chamber frames and sealed double glazing help keep heat inside, so your home feels more comfortable and your heating works less hard.
No sanding or repainting. A wipe with a damp cloth keeps your uPVC windows looking good.
uPVC doesn't rot, rust or warp the way timber can. With basic care, good frames can last 25 years or more.
Multi-point locking and tough frames make forced entry much harder, helping you feel more secure at home.
Double glazing can help cut traffic and street noise, which matters in busier parts of Croydon.
uPVC usually costs less upfront than aluminium or timber, while still offering strong long-term performance.
Nothing is truly "maintenance-free". Seals, hinges and handles all wear over time, and occasional servicing keeps windows working smoothly. That's where our window repair service comes in.
Different homes need different windows. Here’s how our main styles compare, so you can pick with confidence.
The all-rounder. Casement windows open on side or top hinges and suit almost any property. Their slim frames let in plenty of light, and you can add Georgian bars, coloured finishes and different handles to match your home.
These tilt inwards at the top for secure ventilation, or swing fully open from the side. They’re easy to clean from inside, which is a real bonus on upper floors and in flats. They’re also a good choice for fire escape requirements in bedrooms, since they open wide.
If you love the look of traditional sash windows but not the draughts, rattles and rot of old timber, modern uPVC sliding sash windows are a smart swap. They slide vertically, suit period homes beautifully, and woodgrain finishes keep the classic look.
Flush sash windows sit level with the frame when closed, copying the neat look of traditional timber joinery. They’re popular in Edwardian and Victorian-style properties, and in modern homes that want a refined finish.
Bay and bow windows bring in extra light and add space to a room. Replacing worn-out ones can transform both the front of your house and the room inside. They need careful measuring and fitting, so it’s worth using an installer with plenty of bay window experience.
Different homes need different windows. Here’s how our main styles compare, so you can pick with confidence.
How do you know it's time for new windows? Common signs include draughts, condensation, damaged frames and windows that no longer open, close or lock properly.
Replacing old windows can improve comfort, security, energy efficiency and the appearance of your home.
If you're replacing timber or older uPVC with modern energy-efficient units, you can notice the difference in comfort, especially through the colder months.
A good window can still perform badly if it's fitted badly. Here's what you can expect from us from the first survey through to the final checks.

Your windows are made to fit your exact openings, helping ensure a precise fit.
We remove your old windows, install the new ones, seal and finish them neatly, then clear up.

Most homes take 1 to 3 days, depending on the number of windows and the size of the installation.
We explain things plainly, answer your questions and keep you informed without unnecessary jargon.
Whether you need a repair, replacement or nothing at all, we'll give you straightforward advice.
Your windows are made to measure and fitted carefully, with attention to the finish and your home.

Posted on Google Emma HanleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service from Glitz Windows. Adeel was able to visit quickly and offered great advice on a new door and a replacement window panel. Competitive quote and speedy straightforward ordering process. Fitter was fantastic and we’re really pleased with the installation. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use again.Posted on Google Mel BakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adel was a delight to work with. He listened, made helpful suggestions and asked lots of questions to make sure he knew what we wanted. He measured twice (at least)and kept us in the loop about delivery and instalment. During instalment he came several times a day to check on progress and was always very responsive to any messages or queries from us. Even when there was a problem with some debris left on site after completion, he sorted the issue within half a day. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Alexander CooperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Third time having windows done and we were equally as happy as the first two times. This time had an aluminium bifold too which is great quality. Honest, efficient and good communication as always.

Fantastic service provided by Adel and his team! Highly recommend! Great communication at all times and very helpful. I'm very happy with the windows and bifold doors provided.Posted on Google john ambrosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had all nine windows replaced by Glitz Windows and couldn’t be happier with the overall service. Our existing windows were very old and had reached the point where they really needed replacing, so we decided it was time to invest in new ones. The difference they have made to the property is incredible. Adel was fantastic throughout the whole process. Communication was clear from the beginning, he kept me updated at every stage and was always available to answer any questions. The quotation was very competitive, and I never felt under any pressure. Once everything was agreed, the installation was arranged promptly. The fitters were polite, professional and worked incredibly efficiently. We expected the installation to take around three days, but they completed everything in just two days while maintaining a high standard of workmanship. The new windows have completely transformed the look and feel of the property, and I’m really pleased with the finished result. If you’re looking for a company that offers excellent communication, competitive pricing and quality workmanship, I would definitely recommend Glitz Windows.Posted on Google Jason VASANTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We needed windows changed at our home as it had been 25 years since we moved in... and glitz windows came over. Helpful and informative staff... brought samples and explained all our options. Eventually after comparing prices with other companies we decided to go with them. And I must say they did an amazing job. Always available on WhatsApp to explain delivery dates and answer any questions I may have had prior to installation. They arrived on time and within 3 days changed all my windows and doors. Extremely happy with the product and service provided and would highly recommend to others! Thanks guys! I enclose some before and after pictures. We went from white windows to anthracite grey.Posted on Google Jane AdamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with the window and the communication. The fitter was very efficient and cleaned up afterwards.Posted on Google Laura ConnorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great company ! Saved over 600 pounds from other quotes, outstanding windows and great fitters that went the extra mile. The guy that owns it is really nice, not pushy at all.
Quality uPVC windows commonly last 25 years or more with basic care. Seals, handles and hinges may need attention sooner.
Yes. Multi-chamber frames and sealed double glazing reduce heat loss, and modern windows are rated for energy performance. Ask us about the energy rating of your chosen window.
Usually not for like-for-like replacements, but listed buildings and some conservation areas have extra rules. Check with Croydon Council first.
Often, yes. Misted glass, faulty handles, worn seals and sticking hinges can usually be repaired without replacing the whole window.
Flush sash windows open outwards on hinges and sit level with the frame. Sliding sash windows move up and down. Both give a traditional look.
