Double glazing

Article Abstract:

The UK market for double glazing reached 1.5 billion pounds sterling in 1999, up 4% from 1994. Most of the market is accounted for by regional or local small businesses, with the leading national players including Anglian Home Improvements, Bowater and Coldseal. Some 82% of all double-glazed window installations is accounted for by PVC-u, mainly because of cost and ease of maintenance. The UK double glazing market is set to reach 1.55 billion pounds sterling in 2000, at current prices, rising to 1.77 billion pounds sterling by 2004.

Double glazing

Article Abstract:

Sales of double glazing to UK households rose from 1,098 million pounds sterling in 1992 to an estimated 1,416 million pounds sterling in 1997. Factors affecting the double glazing market include energy conservation, home improvements and security. The upturn in the UK housing market is expected to increase sales of double glazing, increasing predicted sales to 1,649 million pounds sterling by the year 2001. The majority of double glazing work is doors and window replacements, with the DIY sector almost non-existent.

Carpets and other floorcoverings

Article Abstract:

The UK floorcoverings market has seen varied performance, despite wider developments, such as the expansion of the housing stock, which should benefit the market. The market expanded by 11% in volume terms between 1993 and 1997, reaching a total value of 1.71 billion pounds sterling. It is forecast that the market will expand by only 1% over the period to 2002. The smooth floorcoverings sector will not grow as rapidly as in the period 1994 to 1998, but will still see a real increase of 7%.
