FINANCE MADE EASY
"How will I finance the job?" "is one o f the most frequent questions we get asked" says M r . C. J. M c K e o n , Marketing Sales Director, Weatherglaze Anglian. "Recognising many customers needs for advice and help in this area we ourselves decided to consult the financial experts -- Bank of Ireland Finance. By so doing we have developed a number of attractive finance deals with the Bank which we believe should meet most customers needs in this area." " T h e r e are two particularly attractive schemes, the 'Credit Plan Plus' and 'Investment Home Improvement Plan.' The Investment Home Improvement Plan was developed exclusively by Bank o f Ireland Finance for customers o f W e a t h e r g l a z e Anglian. It offers incredible benefits including major tax savings tor people paying tax and especially those paying at the top interest rate; it also offers insurance protection against accident; sickness and redundancy and because the scheme is linked to an Endowment Insurance policy there is a lump sum repaid to the borrower as a bonus at the end of the loan period." "Credit Plan Plus, which is also tax effective provides the option to spread repayments over a shorter one to five term, is most attractive, for it not alone gives finance for the home improve ments but also provides cover in case o f redundancy, death, sickness and accident. In other words, it completely protects your repayments." " T w o great schemes which make financing the job very easy indeed." factor in the replacement window business is the customers' imagination. H e cannot always envisage how everything would look. And, of course, the Centre c o m e s i n t o its o w n in demonstrating just that."

Limited only by your imagination
Noel Chambers points out that the W e a t h e r g l a z e A n g l i a n Window Centre is about a great deal more than replacement windows as the name would seem to imply. " I feel that too often people have a narrow view o f replacement windows. The trouble is that many people don't know what's available nowadays. Weatherglaze Anglian have taken the whole replacement window business on to a different plane as visitors to the C e n t r e w i l l see f o r themselves." " W e have a full range of different types o f windows available including the unique Twin-Tone Concorde which is, of course, only available from Weatherglaze Anglian. We also offer a complete range of brilliant white all uPVC windows and, o f course, Secondary Sash internal doubleglazing units are also available. In addition, there is a wide range of different styles to choose from including neo-Georgian, Leaded Lites and Anti-Solar units. But why stop at windows? W e also have sliding patio doors, porch infills, casement doors, etc., all of which will help make the home more comfortable, more energy efficient and more valuable if you ever decide to sell."
