Ashton-under-Lyne Double Glazed Windows & Doors

Double Glazing Ashton-under-Lyne Greater Manchester (OL6): Double glazed windows can improve security, reduce noise and enhance your home's energy efficiency. These windows are made using 2 panes of glass with a gas filled medium, typically argon, trapped between them, thus the term 'double glazing'. As it behaves like an insulating material, this inert gas provides a property with incredible sound proofing and thermal qualities.

The time may have come to think about updating your windows, if you already have older style double glazed windows in your home in Ashton-under-Lyne but have been dealing with issues, such as draughts or condensation between the panes.

Double Glazing Ashton-under-Lyne Greater Manchester (OL6)

Condensation in the space between the panes is caused when a gap appears in the sealed unit and warm air enters from inside the property. As the cooler external glass pane comes into contact with the heated air, moisture droplets form as condensation. It may be time to replace your current windows, if this problem occurs fairly often.

An immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside sounds will be noticed if your property in Ashton-under-Lyne currently has single glazed windows and you swap the for double glazed units.

Double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side and can open outwards or inwards. This allows for easier cleaning and also delivers plenty of airflow during the summer months. If security is vital to you, casement windows can also be purchased in a tilt and turn design. Enabling them to open slightly, tilt and turn double glazed windows have an extra hinge. This adds extra security because they can be locked securely in position when partially open to permit a cool breeze to flow into the room.

There are also available options for double glazed sash windows with a more traditional look to complement a period house in Ashton-under-Lyne. There are single hung styles where just one pane slides, and double hung designs, where both of the sashes are moveable. The sash windows of the past were renowned for their poor energy efficiency, however this issue has for the most part been alleviated with modern day double glazing designs, and with regards to thermal losses, there's very little difference between sash and casement windows today.

Helping to bring a sense of space to a room, bay windows look wonderful. If your home in Ashton-under-Lyne already has bay windows, they can fairly easily be replaced with double glazed equivalents.

Another plus point is having the opportunity to install a useful window seat, if a deep sill exists on the interior side of the window.
