Double Glazing Ashtead

Double Glazing Ashtead Surrey (KT21): The installation of double glazing can help to reduce noise levels, boost security and raise the energy efficiency of your home in Ashtead. The term double glazing basically relates to the method of making these windows using two panes of glass, with a gas filled layer between them (normally argon). Acting like an insulating material, this gas provides effective sound proofing and thermal qualities for any home.

The time may have come to look at updating your windows, if you already have older style double glazing in your house in Ashtead but are having problems, like draughts or condensation between the panels.

Immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises will be seen if your home in Ashtead currently has single glazing and you switch to double glazed windows. The upgrade to double glazing could also help to boost you home's value should you elect to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

You can find a specialist window fitter in the Ashtead area who will be able to source windows to match the style of your choice, and that perfectly complement your home. Double glazing units can be found in a wide range of materials, colours and sizes, to match traditional sash windows for older houses, to modern casement windows and patio doors.

Hinged on one side, double glazed casement windows can open inwards or outwards depending on their design. This means that they're easily cleaned, and offer the possibility of adequate airflow during the summer season. Tilt and turn casement windows are also available for use when security is vital. Tilt and turn windows have an additional hinge to be able to open slightly. This adds extra security as they can be locked securely in position when partially open to allow for a cool breeze to enter the room.

For that classic look to suit a period property in Ashtead, there are double glazing sash windows available. These can be double hung, where both of the panes can be opened, or single hung, where just one pane slides. The sash windows of yesteryear were known for their poor standard of energy efficiency, however this problem has been largely reduced with contemporary double glazing designs, and with regards to thermal loss, there's very little between sash and casement windows these days.

Bay windows look fabulous and can bring a sense of space to a room. If your Ashtead property has a bay window already, exchanging it for a double glazed equivalent should not be an issue. The benefit of a bay window is the huge amount of light it allows into a room, and if you've got a deep sill on the interior side, it is the ideal place to have a window seat installed.

Due to the development uPVC materials, just about any colour is possible in today's double glazed units. For a traditional look you could also have wooden frames, or for that contemporary feel even choose aluminium frames. Easily coloured to blend in with your home, aluminium units no longer have to be a grey, bland and dull as they were in the past.

All double glazing installed today must come with a CE approval mark. This CE mark is proof of the standard of both the glass and the frame, and should be visible on the frame and inside the sealed glass panel. All windows and doors manufactured in the United Kingdom and within Europe, must display the CE logo. Make sure your double glazing company in Ashtead is using CE approved materials for manufacturing it's windows, or else they could be made to less rigorous standards and with substandard components and materials. Although these lower quality products may be good enough in some circumstances, it is recommended that you insist on guaranteed products with CE approval for your property in Ashtead.
