Double Glazing Banbury

Double Glazing Banbury Oxfordshire (OX16): You can improve security, reduce noise levels and increase your home's energy efficiency by installing double glazing. Double glazing refers to the way a window is made using two panes of glass with a gas filled layer, typically argon, trapped between them. Acting as an insulating material, this inert gas delivers impressive sound proofing and thermal qualities for any home or property.

If your house in Banbury is already fitted with older double glazed windows, and you're living with issues like condensation or draughts, now would be a great time to get some new replacement double glazing to bring your premises back to 21st century standards.

Upgrading to double glazing will result in immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing, if your house in Banbury currently has windows with single glazing. The upgrade to double glazed windows may also help to increase you home's value when you choose to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

By using a specialist double glazing installer in Banbury, you will be able get windows that both match the style of your choice and complement your house beautifully. Double glazing units can be found in a wide selection of materials, colours and sizes, to match modern patio doors and casement windows to period sash windows for older houses.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazed casement windows are hinged on one side only. This provides ample airflow in the summer months and allows for easier cleaning. Casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn design for extra security. Tilt and turn windows have an extra hinge to be able to open slightly. This adds more security because they can be locked firmly into position when partially open to allow for a fresh breeze to flow into the room.

For a more traditional look to complement a period property in Banbury, there are double glazing sash windows on offer. These can be double hung, where both of the sashes can be slid open, or single hung, where only one pane moves. Sash windows weren't recognised for their energy efficiency in times past, but today there's virtually nothing between the thermal loss of casement and sash windows, as modern double glazing designs have alleviated this issue.

Another option might be a bay window, which will look awesome and help to bring a feeling of space to even the smallest of rooms. If you have an existing bay window it is possible to swap it for an equivalent double glazed unit to maintain the style. The amount of light that it allows into a room, is the good thing about a bay window, and it is the perfect place to install a window seat if you've got a sill that is sufficiently deep on the interior side.

Due to the development of modern uPVC materials, just about any colour is possible in today's double glazing units. For a more contemporary feel you could decide on aluminium frames, or for that classic look - timber frames units. Contemporary aluminium windows can be coloured to suit your home and no longer have to be a grey, dull and bland looking frame for your double glazing.

All modern double glazing must come with a CE approval mark. This mark should be visible inside the sealed glass unit and on the frame, and proves the standard of both the glass and the frame itself. For all doors and windows produced in Britain and the EU, the CE logo is a necessity. If CE approved materials are not used by your double glazing company in Banbury, they may be using substandard components and made using less stringent standards. Whilst they might be acceptable for some uses, it is best to demand only using double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a guarantee.

INSTALLATION OF REPLACEMENT DOUBLE GLAZING IN BANBURY

A good place to start when looking for a decent double glazing specialist in Banbury is to ask friends or family for recommendations. These kinds of word of mouth recommendations can be priceless when looking for a company to give you a quote, and can often provide valuable insights into the workings and reliability of a company.

An established double glazing fitter should be willing to give you a free, no obligation quotation so as to help you pick the perfect solution for your new windows and doors. Accurate measurements of your door and window frames will be taken by a salesperson, so that you will be given a definitive price for the work. It's always a good idea to bear in mind that there could be a little room for negotiation on the price, if your entire house in Banbury is being double glazed.

Subject to the design of window, the amount of doors and windows you need, your frame type and the opening options, this could take anything from a few days to several weeks. An installation time frame will then be scheduled between the company and you, which must include provision for planning permission applications where necessary.

It might be necessary to get planning permission if your house has a restrictive covenant, is a listed building, is in an area such as the boundaries of a National Park or is in a conservation area. A trustworthy double glazing firm will be happy to advise you of any restrictions and will likely have previously done work in the area, and should know the legal requirements and necessities.

Your double glazing installation time will depend on how many doors and windows are being fitted. It usually takes under 3 hours to install a standard double glazed window frame. This time also includes removing the existing window and frame, and carefully preparing the void into which the new window will sit. In a day or two, a normal property in Banbury can be completed with very little disruption to you and your family.
