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.

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.

Posted on Google Barnaby DawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adeel and his colleagues were very considerate and efficient. When an issue arose they resolved the matter quickly and to a high standard.Posted on Google Zayd WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had several quotes from the large national companies and local companies. From the outset Adeel from Glitz made me feel comfortable, no pressure selling like some of the others, no over quoting or recommending extra equipment that wasn't needed, just a fair and honest assessment. Once I received the quote Adeel was very attentive, giving us his time to make some final design choices which was really helpful as we were new to this. Throughout the process Adeel kept us informed and made us feel comfortable. The work was carried out well and the installers were great. Would recommend highlyPosted on Google Lilka JayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adeel and his team built a porch for me last week and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He had helpful advice about the design and kept me informed during the process. I can definitely recommend his company. Eliska HoarePosted on Google Valeria STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had our French door replaced by Adeel and his team (Ali & Jib), and we couldn’t be happier! The door is of outstanding quality, beautifully made, and everyone who visits compliments it. Adeel has been incredibly kind from the start, accommodating every request with clear, easy communication. On delivery day, he even called to see if I was nearby so they could place it inside- such a thoughtful touch! The team was friendly, efficient, and professional. We’ll definitely call them again. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Gursharon BirdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t be more satisfied and impressed with the quality and fitting of my windows and doors. Adeel and his wonderful team are local and professional in their ability to deliver.

From meeting Adeel for a quote to having our new windows installed, the whole process has been smooth and effortless. I was kept in the loop with delivery times and start dates and the guys who installed the windows were extremely polite and worked very quickly. They also tided up after themselves. Would recommended for anyone looking for new windows!Posted on Google Jay SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. High quality customer service and quality of workmanship. Would highly recommend. Was a pleasure to work with this company.Posted on Google Gioia CattiniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Adeel was great. He is a very good communicator, he listened to our requests carefully and gave us good suggestions on how to design the windows for a great looking result. The new windows are exactly how we wanted them to be and very good quality as well. The job was executed quickly but with attention to details. We had an issue with one of the window's handle but Adeel took charge of replacing it fast. We will definitely contact Adeel again gor future works.
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.
