In our customers’ words
Read reviews of Spectrum’s installations and customer service. Then visit us, see the products and talk through what you have in mind.
Start with your home
You don’t need to know the brand or technical specification before speaking to us. Start with what you want to improve: draughts, appearance, security, daylight or access to the garden.
Compare low-maintenance uPVC, flush and timber-look frames, sliding sash windows and slim aluminium designs. We’ll explain the differences in appearance, opening styles, glazing and budget.
Explore windows for your Colchester home →Find a composite door to suit a traditional or contemporary entrance. Compare Comp Door and Apeer designs, colour samples, privacy glass and hardware, or explore aluminium and steel entrance options.
Compare front doors in Colchester →Make more of the connection to your garden. We’ll help you compare how far the doors open, how much frame you see, threshold options and the space needed for opening panels.
The right specification depends on the frame system, room and priorities. Tell us about cold spots, outside noise or rooms that overheat. We’ll discuss suitable glazing, ventilation and privacy options, with the final specification confirmed in your quote.
Ask us about your windows →Installed here, by Spectrum
The existing four-panel uPVC doors were difficult to operate and no longer closing correctly. We replaced them with three larger aluminium panels, reducing the amount of frame across the opening and improving day-to-day operation.

Make room for everyday life
Planning a new room or improving one you already have? We’ll help you compare a new conservatory, an orangery, a hup! extension or a replacement conservatory roof.
For an existing conservatory, the survey checks the structure and what work is needed. For a new extension, we’ll discuss the layout, glazing, external finish and the permissions and approvals your project may require.
The people behind the installation
Choosing an installer is about more than a frame or a front door. You need someone who listens, explains the choices and gives you a clear written specification. That’s how we approach projects at Spectrum.

We can discuss flush, timber-look and sliding sash windows, along with door styles that complement traditional homes. Tell us if your property is listed or in a conservation area so any restrictions can be considered before the specification is agreed.
