About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Greener Homes Start with Better Windows: Ideal Glass Launches Installation Services in St Albans

Ideal Glass launches energy-efficient window installation in St Albans, helping homeowners cut energy bills and emissions with bespoke, sustainable glazing solutions tailored to both modern and heritage properties.

-- As the UK accelerates its push toward greater energy efficiency and carbon reduction, homeowners in St Albans have a new reason to take notice. Ideal Glass, a Hertfordshire-based glazing specialist, has officially launched its full-service window installation offering in the historic city—aiming to help residents reduce energy bills and environmental impact through cutting-edge window solutions.

A Local Response to a National Challenge

Energy efficiency is no longer just a modern convenience—it's a necessity. According to the Energy Saving Trust, up to 20% of a home’s heat loss occurs through its windows. In areas like St Albans, known for its charming yet often drafty heritage properties, the impact can be especially significant.

Ideal Glass is stepping in with a mission: to bring high-performance, sustainable window solutions to homes across the city. Co-director Barney Wall explains, “We wanted to bring homeowners in St Albans the very best in sustainable design. Our window systems don’t just look good—they actively reduce heat loss and enhance indoor comfort.”

Smart Design Meets Sustainability

The new service includes the supply and installation of double and triple glazed units with options such as aluminium, timber-effect, and modern uPVC frames. Each window is engineered with advanced energy-saving features like argon gas fills, low-E coatings, and thermal break barriers—ensuring optimal performance in both contemporary and traditional homes.

“Many of these older homes have stunning character, but they weren’t built with energy efficiency in mind,” says Wall. “We offer heritage-sensitive solutions that retain a home’s charm while drastically improving its energy performance.”

Real Benefits for Real Homes

Upgrading to A-rated double glazing can save homeowners up to £235 annually on heating bills, according to the Energy Saving Trust. But the benefits go beyond cost savings—improved thermal comfort, reduced condensation, enhanced security, and even increased property value are all part of the package.

Jacob Gourd, co-director at Ideal Glass, adds: “People often think of energy upgrades as big-ticket items like solar panels. But your windows are part of the building envelope—replacing them is one of the smartest and most cost-effective sustainability choices you can make.”

Personalised Service, Local Expertise

Ideal Glass is earning a reputation in St Albans not just for their products, but for their customer-first approach. Offering remote consultations, on-site surveys, and digital quoting, the team ensures that each project is tailored to the client's home and lifestyle.

Backed by Checkatrade approval and FENSA certification, Ideal Glass guarantees professionalism, compliance, and peace of mind with every installation.

“We’re not just another contractor—we’re a local business invested in this community,” says Gourd. “We take pride in helping our neighbours live more comfortably and sustainably.”

Tailored Solutions for Every Property

From Victorian terraces in conservation areas to modern family homes, Ideal Glass provides bespoke window solutions that respect the architectural integrity of each property. Their range includes everything from ultra-slim aluminium frames to timber-look sash windows that meet even the most stringent planning requirements.

A Step Toward a Greener Future

With the UK targeting net zero emissions by 2050, improving the energy efficiency of residential homes is a critical part of the puzzle. Ideal Glass’s expansion into St Albans offers homeowners a practical way to contribute to national sustainability goals—while enhancing their own quality of life.
