It may be time to look at swapping your windows, if you have already got older style double glazed windows in your house in Ashford but have been experiencing issues, like draughts or condensation between the panes.

Double Glazing Ashford Kent (TN23)

Condensation takes place when a small gap appears in the seal around the glass, and heated air from inside the home finds its way into the space between the glass panes. As the warmer air makes contact with the cooler external pane of glass, moisture is formed, with condensation as the result. If this is happening regularly, especially in winter time, you could either replace the sealed unit, or get replacement windows.

An immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing will be seen if your property in Ashford has single glazing and you upgrade them to double glazed windows. Making the upgrade to double glazing could also help to increase the value of your property if you opt to sell.

Having hinges on one side, double glazing casement windows can open outwards or inwards depending on their design. This provides ample airflow in the warmer summer months and permits easier cleaning. For additional security, casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn window. Tilt and turn double glazed windows have an extra hinge to be able to open slightly. Because they can be locked securely into position when only partly open to allow for a fresh breeze to enter the room, the security is improved.

To complement a period property in Ashford, there are also available options for double glazing sash windows with a traditional appearance. There are single hung styles where only one pane can be slid open, and double hung models, where both panes slide. Sash windows weren't renowned for being energy efficient in the past, but nowadays there's pretty much nothing between the thermal losses of casement and sash windows, as contemporary double glazing designs have reduced this issue.

Bay windows look great and can bring a feeling of space to a room. If your Ashford property has an existing bay window, exchanging it for a double glazed equivalent should not be an issue. The huge amount of light that it lets into a room, is the good thing about a bay window, and it is the ideal place to have a window seat installed if you have a deep sill on the interior side.
