How will “Brexit” affect the Prices of wooden windows and doors?

Following the recent decison taken by the British public to leave the European Union, the door and window industry have responded to the fall in the value of Sterling by announcing price increases to take effect from the beginning of September. Due to the vast majority of raw materials being imported from various parts of the world – The Far East, Europe and the Americas, the adverse fluctuations in the value of Sterling versus other currencies, especially the Euro and the US Dollar, have led to our suppliers increasing their prices.
