Disclaimer Notice for City Frames Glazing
Welcome to City Frames Glazing. This Disclaimer Notice governs your use of our website (cityframesglazing.co.uk) and applies to all information, content, estimations, product specifications, and services offered by City Frames Glazing across the United Kingdom.
The information provided on this website is for general informational, educational, and preliminary planning purposes only. While City Frames Glazing strives to maintain accurate, up-to-date, and reliable content regarding double glazing, uPVC frames, bi-fold doors, architectural glass, and structural glazing services, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the site content.
By accessing cityframesglazing.co.uk, requesting a quote, or engaging with our content, you acknowledge and agree to the terms, conditions, and disclaimers detailed throughout this document. If you do not agree with any part of this disclaimer, you must discontinue the use of our website immediately.
General Information Disclaimer
Educational and Marketing Intent
All materials, articles, product descriptions, structural guidelines, and installation tips published on cityframesglazing.co.uk are designed to provide general insight into modern glazing technologies and frame installations. None of the content on this website constitutes formal architectural advice, structural engineering certification, or binding contractual commitments prior to a site survey and written contract.
Accuracy of Content
While our technical team regularly updates the content on this site to reflect current UK building regulations, energy efficiency standards, and product innovations:
1. Variations in Product Design: Product specifications, frame profile dimensions, glass thickness options, and hardware finishes are subject to change by manufacturers without prior notice.
2. Typographical and Visual Errors: The website may contain technical inaccuracies, typographical errors, or photographic color variations due to monitor display settings and lighting conditions during product photography.
3. Regulatory Changes: UK Building Regulations (including Approved Document L and Approved Document K) are subject to periodic updates. Information provided on this site may not reflect the very latest legislative changes at any given moment.
Professional Services & Site Survey Disclaimer
Preliminary Estimates vs. Final Quotations
Any cost calculators, online price estimators, email quotes, or verbal estimates provided prior to an official physical site survey are strictly indicative and non-binding.
Site-Specific Factors: Final pricing depends on precise physical measurements, structural opening conditions, lintel requirements, scaffolding access, waste removal necessities, and custom frame specifications.
Structural Inspections: Preliminary estimates assume standard installation conditions. Sub-floor conditions, concealed damp, degraded brickwork, or hidden structural defects identified during on-site surveys may alter the required scope of work and final project costs.
Technical Advice and Structural Suitability
Glazing products, including heavy architectural glass units, bi-fold doors, and multi-storey frame installations, require tailored engineering considerations. Information on cityframesglazing.co.uk must not replace a direct on-site assessment by a qualified structural engineer or certified window installer.
Load-Bearing Considerations: Customers are responsible for ensuring that surrounding walls, headers, and foundations are structurally capable of supporting custom glass units.
Professional Consultation: We strongly advise consulting with our certified surveying team or an independent structural engineer before undertaking major structural modifications or ordering custom-manufactured glass panels.
Product, Color, and Material Display Disclaimer
Visual Representation
We make every effort to display the colors, textures, finishes, and designs of our uPVC frames, aluminum profiles, composite doors, and decorative glass patterns as accurately as possible on cityframesglazing.co.uk.
Screen Calibration Differences: Color rendering varies across computer monitors, mobile devices, and screen settings. We cannot guarantee that your device’s display accurately reflects the true physical color of our frames or tinted glass options.
Physical Samples: We recommend requesting physical color swatches (such as RAL color charts or frame profile samples) during your in-person survey before confirming custom production orders.
Material Properties and Natural Variations
Glass and metal profiles are subject to natural manufacturing tolerances:
Glass Distortion and Optical Effects: Minor optical distortions, light reflections, or faint Brewster’s fringes (interference patterns) are inherent physical properties of high-efficiency double and triple-glazed units and do not constitute manufacturing defects under UK industry standards.
Thermal Expansion: Aluminum and uPVC frames expand and contract with seasonal temperature fluctuations. Proper operational tolerances and expansion gaps are built into our professional installations to manage this natural physical movement.
Thermal Performance & Energy Efficiency Disclaimer
Energy Ratings and U-Values
References to U-values, energy ratings (e.g., A++ rating), acoustic insulation levels, and thermal performance scores on cityframesglazing.co.uk represent standardized laboratory testing results under controlled conditions.
Real-World Performance Variations
Actual household energy savings, thermal retention, and noise reduction achieved after installing new double or triple glazing will depend on multiple external factors, including:
Overall Property Insulation: Wall insulation quality, loft insulation, draught-proofing, and ventilation performance across the entire property.
Building Orientation: Exposure to wind, solar heat gain, and geographical weather conditions across different regions in the UK.
Usage and Ventilation: How doors and trickle vents are operated within the building to balance insulation with required indoor air movement.
Regulatory, Permitting, and Building Control Disclaimer
Planning Permission Responsibilities
Unless explicitly agreed upon in writing as part of our contracted management services, the customer retains sole responsibility for obtaining all necessary approvals prior to the manufacture and installation of glazing units. This includes:
Planning Permission: Local council planning consent for structural changes or exterior alterations.
Listed Building Consent: Approvals required for installations on Listed Buildings or properties within designated Conservation Areas across the UK.
Permitted Development Rights: Verifying whether proposed bi-fold doors, extensions, or frame alterations fall within standard permitted development guidelines.
Building Regulations Compliance
City Frames Glazing installs products designed to comply with relevant UK Building Regulations (such as safety glass requirements, thermal performance, and emergency egress considerations). However, City Frames Glazing accepts no liability for delays, fines, or enforcement action resulting from a client’s failure to secure necessary local authority permissions prior to installation.
