Notifications of replacement windows and doors in domestic properties in the first quarter of 2014 are up 8.4%* on the same period last year, says FENSA.  This represents the best January, February and March since 2011.

January installations were up 11.3%, February up 6.6% and March up 7.6%.

“We have now seen four consecutive quarters of growth,” comments FENSA Managing Director Chris Mayne.  “The same period last year saw a disappointing 5.4% decrease in notifications compared to quarter one in 2012.  The industry appears to be in a much better position now.”

89% of all window installations are covered by FENSA according to DCLG.
