Home Improvement Trends for 2026: Windows

As we come into 2026, homeowners are looking for windows that combine looks, performance and durability. With rising energy costs and a growing focus on sustainability, advanced glazing technologies are becoming increasingly popular. 

  • Durable Design

With triple glazed windows, you will benefit from a durable design that will last for years to come. Triple glazing can resist heavier impacts than double glazing and it’s also less prone to condensation. Because of this, your window will be much less likely to lose its performance over time, and you can rely on your glass to stay robust. This durable design definitely makes a difference to your home. 

  • Home Security

At Coral, we value your safety and security as much as you do. That is why our triple glazed windows have market-leading security across their design. You will  be able to get toughened glass in the build that fastens to the frame with a multipoint locking system. Also, with a uPVC frame, you can protect your window’s internal hardware, meaning no would-be burglars can tamper with it.

Modern windows are no longer just functional, they are a statement. Sleek frames and advanced glass technologies not only enhance your home’s appearance but also improve security and provide protection against the British weather. 

Home Improvement Trends for 2026: Doors

In 2026, thermal efficiency and security is becoming a catalyst behind why homeowners are making improvements to their homes. Drafts and break ins can be issues with older doors, whether you are looking to strengthen your home’s security or heighten visual appeal, we have something for everyone. 

At Coral, we offer front doors in both durable composite and low-maintenance uPVC options, coming in a range of styles and designs, each offering their own characteristics suited to different home themes and preferences.

  • ​Steve Holdsworth embarked on his journey in the glazing industry in 1978 as an apprentice glazier within a three-person team. Demonstrating dedication and skill, he quickly advanced to lead his own team, focusing on aluminium and timber installations, as well as sealed unit replacements—a period when UPVC was still emerging in the U.K. In 1980, Steve briefly shifted to manufacturing sealed units but returned to his passion for window and door fitting in 1981. Over the next 13 years, he honed his expertise, adapting seamlessly as UPVC became the industry standard.​ Steve joined Coral Windows in 1994, expanding his repertoire to include conservatory installations alongside windows and doors. In 2005, Steve joined a fabrication facility in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, where he dedicated 15 months, training local workers who were accustomed to aluminium on the nuances of UPVC window and door installations.​ Upon returning to the UK in 2006, Steve returned to Coral windows and assumed the role of Conservatory Manager, a position he held for six years before being promoted to Head of Installations in 2012. In 2015, after recovering from a stroke, Steve resumed his role as Conservatory Manager, a testament to his resilience and commitment to the company.​ Steve has a passion for music, mainly creating new songs via various apps, he has had 5 songs played on the radio in the U.K. Reflecting on his 47-year career, Steve remarks on the swift passage of time and the continuous advancements in the glazing industry, emphasising that every day remains an opportunity for learning.
