Founder bio — Sunny
Available for interviews, written quotes, and on-camera commentary on glazing, energy efficiency, planning, and London property topics. Typically responds within 24 hours.
Sunny founded Apex Glazing in 2005 and has personally surveyed over 6,000 London glazing projects across Richmond, Twickenham, Kingston, Chiswick, and the wider South West London area. His expertise spans aluminium and uPVC systems, heritage and conservation area work, Listed Building Consent applications, Passivhaus-spec installations, and the practical realities of London planning regimes. FENSA-registered (Reg 40373) since the company joined the scheme in 2018. He speaks plainly, declines puffery, and is happy to be quoted on the trade-offs homeowners actually face — including the cases where Apex isn't the right fit.

If you're writing about any of these topics and need a London-based, FENSA-registered, on-the-tools expert, Sunny is available. We don't pitch product PR — we give honest takes, including critical ones.
- Energy bills & glazingReal-world payback periods on double vs triple glazing. What U-values actually deliver in a typical 1930s London semi vs a 1880s Victorian terrace.
- Planning permission realitiesWhat homeowners get wrong about Article 4 directions, conservation areas, and Listed Building Consent. Honest take on what councils actually approve.
- Building Regulations Part LWhat 2022 Part L means for replacement windows in 2026 — and what's coming in the 2025/26 update cycle.
- uPVC vs aluminium vs timberHonest cost-vs-performance breakdown. When the £20k aluminium upgrade is genuinely worth it. When uPVC is the rational choice.
- Slimline sliding doors trendWhy 20mm interlock sliders (Cortizo Vision, APX20 Plus) became the default spec for London architects between 2022 and 2026.
- Bifold vs sliding doorsThe aesthetic trade-offs, the practical use-case differences, and why the bifold trend has cooled while sliders have grown.
- Heritage and Crittall replacementWhat's actually allowed in conservation areas. Modern aluminium replicas (Smart Aluspace) vs original Crittall restoration vs steel-look uPVC.
- Passivhaus and EnerPHit retrofitThe window spec required to hit Passivhaus standards in a London retrofit — and the cost vs payback trade-off.
- Conservation area planningBedford Park (W4), Strawberry Hill (TW1), Richmond Green (TW9), Kew Gardens, Chiswick Mall — specific local knowledge.
- Cost of glazing in 2026Real London prices by product type and configuration. Why prices rose post-Brexit and how the supply chain has stabilised.
- Heat pump rollout & windowsHow replacing windows interacts with heat pump efficiency and the case for sequencing the upgrade.
- Acoustic glazing for flight pathsWhat works for homes under Heathrow and Gatwick approach paths. Specific dB reductions achievable.
