Condensation in the space between the panes is caused when holes develop in the seal around the glass and warm air enters from inside the house. Moisture forms as the warmer air makes contact with the colder exterior glass pane, with the result that you have a condensation problem. If this happens on a regular basis it's time to replace your existing windows.

An immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside noises will be experienced if your property in Arbroath has windows with single glazing and you switch to double glazed units. The upgrade to double glazing can also help to boost you home's value when you elect to sell.

Double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side and can be made to open outwards or inwards. This permits easier cleaning and also delivers plenty of airflow during the summer months. Casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn window for added security. The addition of an extra hinge allows tilt and turn double glazed windows to open to a limited degree. Because they can be locked securely in place when partly open to allow for cool air to flow into the room, the security is improved.

For that classic look to suit a period home in Arbroath, there are double glazed sash windows on offer. There are single hung versions where just one sash can be slid open, and double hung models, where both sashes are moveable. Sash windows weren't known for being energy efficient in times past, but nowadays there is very little between the thermal losses of sash and casement windows, as modern day double glazing models have reduced this issue.

Bay windows look wonderful and can bring a feeling of space to a room. If your house in Arbroath already has bay windows, they can fairly easily be replaced with double glazed equivalents.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

If a cat is a part of your household, you may have considered installing a cat flap in your double glazing. This is a superb way to allow your cat to come and go as they wish, without you having to continually open and shut the door for them.

However, it is worth noting that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a task that can be done by yourself. It is a complex procedure that requires specialized equipment and tools. If you do not have experience in this sort of work, it is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter.

How to install a cat flap in double glazing:

The first step is to choose a cat flap that is the right size for your cat and has the features you need. There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, so you can pick one that is the best fit for your needs. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock or a microchip reader.

Once you've selected a cat flap, you should contact a specialist cat flap installer. They'll visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space where the cat flap will be installed. They can also give you advice on the best kind of cat flap for your needs.

To ensure the cat flap's proper installation and preserve the double glazing unit's integrity, the cat flap installer will order a new unit with a pre-cut hole for the cat flap.

The cat flap fitter will return to your home in Arbroath to install the new double-glazed unit once it has been delivered. This involves removing the old double-glazed unit and installing the new one. The cat flap fitter then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double-glazed unit, thereby preserving the unit's integrity and ensuring proper installation.
