Double Glazing Aldershot

Double Glazing Aldershot Hampshire (GU11): The installation of double glazing in your home in Aldershot, can enhance your home's energy efficiency, improve security and reduce noise. Double glazing refers to the way a window is made using a double layer of glass with a gas layer, normally argon, between them. Because it behaves like an insulating material, this gas provides a property with incredible thermal and sound proofing qualities.

It might be time to think about replacing your windows, if you have already got older double glazing in your house in Aldershot but are living with issues, like draughts or condensation between the panes.

If your Aldershot property currently has windows with single glazing, upgrading to double glazed units will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing. Upgrading to double glazed windows can also help to raise you home's value if you choose to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

To find double glazed windows that match your choice and complement your property, you can hire an experienced double glazing installer in the Aldershot area. Double glazing frames are available in a variety of sizes, colours and materials, to match traditional sash windows for older properties, to modern casement windows and patio doors.

Having hinges on one side, double glazed casement windows can be made to open inwards or outwards depending on the design. This means that they're easier to clean, and offer the possibility of a good amount of airflow during the summertime. If security is vital to you, double glazed casement windows are also available in a tilt and turn design. Tilt and turn windows have a supplementary hinge to be able to open a small amount. As they can be locked firmly into position when partially open to allow for a cool breeze to enter the room, the security is much better.

There are also options available for double glazed sash windows for a more traditional appearance to complement a period property in Aldershot. These can be single hung, where just one pane moves, or double hung, where both sashes can be slid open. In the past sash windows were not noted for being energy efficient, but contemporary double glazing models have lessened this problem and today there is practically nothing between sash windows and casement windows in terms of thermal loss.

An alternative may be a bay window, which looks fabulous and helps to bring a sense of space to even the smallest of rooms. If your Aldershot property has a bay window already, replacing it with a double glazed equivalent shouldn't be a problem. Bay windows bring plenty of character and style to a property, but the main advantage is the amount of light that they allow to flood into a room. An extra benefit is having the opportunity to install a window seat, if a deep sill exists on the inside of the window.

Modern day double glazed window frames can be produced in pretty much any colour with the use of uPVC materials. You can also have timber frames for a traditional feel, or aluminium double glazing for a somewhat more modern look. Readily coloured to suit your property, aluminium units no longer have to be a bland, grey and dull like they used to be.

All new double glazed frames that are installed in homes in Aldershot should display the CE approval mark. This verifies the standard of the frame and the glass and the mark should be plainly visible on the inside of the sealed glass panel and on the frame. All doors and windows made in the British Isles and the EU, must display the CE logo. Make certain that your double glazing firm in Aldershot is using CE approved materials for manufacturing it's windows and doors, or else they could be made to less rigorous standards and with substandard materials and components. Although these lower quality frames may be okay in some circumstances, you should always demand guaranteed double glazing with CE approval for your home in Aldershot.

The Benefits of Double Glazing in Aldershot

Double glazing can improve the energy efficiency of your home by keeping the warm air inside and preventing cold from entering. Studies have shown that up to 50% of heat is lost through doors and windows. The insulating properties of double glazing can reduce this loss by up to 81%. This means that your home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, and you can reduce your energy bill accordingly. Additionally, double glazing can help to reduce noise pollution, as thicker windows will reduce noise from busy roads, airports, and other sources.

Another advantage of double glazing is its ability to reduce condensation. This is because of the airtight seal between the two panes of glass. This barrier prevents air from escaping and prevents mould from forming. While mould is unsightly, it can also be uncomfortable. Furthermore, condensation makes a room feel cold. Double glazing reduces this problem by making a room feel cozier and more comfortable.

Condensation is a serious problem in a home. Excess moisture that accumulates on windows and doors can lead to mould and rot, affecting the house's value as well as the health of its occupants. When condensation gets worse, it can also damage the foundations of your home. To solve this problem, you should invest in double glazing for your home.

Double glazing can also reduce your energy bills. With better temperature control, you'll use less energy, which will decrease your carbon footprint and help you save money. In addition to being environmentally friendly, double glazing can improve your home's look and feel by reducing the risk of fading. Also, this option can help protect your carpets, fabrics, and even your furniture from the damaging UV rays.
