Ideal Glass, the window specialist covering St Albans, stepped forward as a key supporter of this year’s Armed Forces Day in Stevenage. The town’s Saturday event drew more than 5,000 visitors to the King George V Playing Fields, organisers said. Ideal Glass funded the main stage and provided volunteer stewards, showing that a company known for double glazing can also open doors for the local community.
A day of fly-pasts and family fun
Highlights included a Spitfire fly-past at noon, a marching band from the Army Air Corps, and recruitment stands from the Royal Navy and RAF. Local cadets demonstrated field first aid while veterans shared service stories. By late afternoon, four live bands had kept the crowd on its feet, and the town mayor thanked sponsors for making the day free to attend.
How it links to St Albans customers
Though the festival took place in Stevenage, many visitors were from St Albans, only twelve miles away. Ideal Glass serves both areas, fitting A-rated uPVC and aluminium windows, Window Installation , sliding patio doors, and modern roof lanterns. The firm’s vans, branded with the Armed Forces Covenant badge, turned a few heads at the event. Several homeowners booked site surveys after chatting to installers on the day, a small but welcome bonus.
Clear service promise for St Albans homes
For residents needing new windows, the company offers:
- Free no-pressure quotes, valid 60 days
- Ten-year insurance backed guarantee
- Straightforward booking, average install done in two days
- Recycling of old frames and glass
A recent survey of 150 St Albans customers showed a 97 percent satisfaction rate on fit and finish. One reviewer, Alan Brewer of Marshalswick, wrote, “The crew arrived on time, left no mess, and the new casements look brilliant.”
Energy savings in focus
With energy bills still high, upgrading single or early double glazing to modern units can cut heat loss by up to 30 percent, according to the Energy Saving Trust. Ideal Glass stocks units with warm-edge spacers and argon-filled cavities, all manufactured in the East Midlands factory, meaning shorter lead times for St Albans addresses.
Looking ahead
Ideal Glass will review its Armed Forces Day impact at the next team meeting, then decide on longer partnerships with veteran charities in Hertfordshire.
