Double Glazing Billericay

Billericay Double Glazed Windows & Doors

Double Glazing Billericay Essex (CM11): Double glazing can enhance your home's energy efficiency, reduce noise levels and improve security. These windows are made using a double layer of glass with a gas layer, generally argon, trapped between them, hence the term 'double glazing'. Acting as an insulating material, this inert gas delivers impressive sound proofing and thermal qualities for any home.

It might be time to look at swapping your windows, if you have already got older style double glazed windows in your house in Billericay but have been experiencing problems, such as condensation between the panels or draughts.

Double Glazing Billericay Essex (CM11)

Condensation is caused by a small hole developing in the seal around the glass and permitting warmer air from inside the house to enter the space between the panes. Moisture forms as the warm air comes into contact with the colder outside glass pane, which means that you've got a condensation problem. If this is a regular occurrence, particularly during the winter season, you can either replace the sealed unit, or get brand new windows.

If your Billericay home has windows with single glazing, the switch to double glazed windows will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing. Upgrading to double glazing can also add extra value to your home, which of course will be an advantage if you later opt to sell up.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

To find windows that match your choice of style and complement your home, you should use a competent double glazing installer in the Billericay area. Whether you're looking for contemporary casement windows and patio doors, or traditional sash windows for an older house in Billericay, double glazing frames can be found in a variety of materials, colours and sizes to fit your needs.

Hinged on one side, double glazing casement windows can be made to open outwards or inwards depending on their design. This allows for easier cleaning and also provides a good amount of airflow during the summer months. Casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn window for more security. The addition of a supplementary hinge permits tilt and turn windows to be opened to a limited degree. This adds extra security as they can be locked in position when partly open to permit a fresh breeze to enter the room.

Double glazed sash windows with a traditional look can be purchased to match older or period homes in Billericay. These can be single hung, where just one pane is moveable, or double hung, where both of the sashes can be slid open. In the past sash windows weren't noted for their energy efficiency, but contemporary double glazed models have alleviated this problem and nowadays there's virtually nothing between sash windows and casement windows when it comes to thermal loss.

Bay windows look awesome and can bring a sense of space to a room. If your house in Billericay already has bay windows, they can fairly easily be replaced with equivalent double glazed frames. The advantage of a bay window is the quantity of light it allows into a room, and if you've got a sill that is sufficiently deep on the inside, it is the ideal place to install a window seat.

Double Glazing Quotes in Billericay Essex

Through the use of uPVC materials, modern double glazed units can be made in pretty much any colour. For a more contemporary feel you could pick aluminium frames, or for that classic look - timber frames units. Today's aluminium units can easily be coloured to suit your home and no longer have to be a bland, grey and rather dull looking frame for your double glazing.

All modern double glazed frames should come with a CE approval mark. This mark should be plainly visible on the inside of the sealed glass unit and on the frame, and verifies the standard of both the frame and the glass. For all windows and doors produced in the United Kingdom and within Europe, the CE logo is a legal requirement. If your Billericay double glazing firm does not use CE approved components they could perhaps be made using less rigorous standards of production and substandard materials. While they might be adequate for many uses, it is better to insist on only using double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a warranty.

REPLACEMENT DOUBLE GLAZING IN BILLERICAY

A good starting place when looking for a decent double glazing company in Billericay is to ask friends and family for recommendations. These sorts of word of mouth testimonials can be very helpful when looking for a company to give you a quote, and can sometimes provide a good idea of the performance of a company. When asking for double glazing quotes in Billericay, always go to at least 3 different firms, to get a wide range of prices. A competent double glazing fitter will give you a free, no obligation quotation in order to help you pick the best solution for your new windows and doors. So that you get an accurate price for the work, a saleperson will obtain detailed measurements of the window and door frames you're upgrading. It is always a good idea to bear in mind that there could be a bit of room for negotating the overall price, if your entire property in Billericay is being double glazed.

When you are satisfied with a quoted price, and have decided which company in Billericay to hire, your new double glazing windows will be made-to-measure at the factory. This process could take from a few days to several weeks according to the opening options, the design of window, your frame type and the amount of windows and doors you need. If you need planning permission, this should be organised, and a time frame for installation can be agreed between you and the company.

If your property is in a conservation area, is on the boundaries of a National Park, has a restrictive covenant or is listed, you may need planning permission. Having previously done work in the Billericay area, an experienced double glazing company will understand the legal requirements and necessities, and will advise you of any restrictions.

Your double glazing installation time will obviously be determined by how many windows and doors are being fitted. A good fitter will install a modern double glazed window in approximately three hours. Removing the pre-existing window is included in this time, as is squaring up the hole to take the new window. An average home can be completed over a day or two with the minimum of disruption to you.

DOUBLE GLAZING ACCREDITATIONS

An established double glazing firm should be affiliated with at least one trade organisation or body such as the Double Glazing Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme, the GGF (Glass and Glazing Federation), FENSA or Trustmark to name but a few.

Double Glazing Fitters Billericay (CM11)

Membership of such organisations demonstrates that the company is qualified, experienced and follows building regulations, but doesn't necessarily guarantee that nothing will go wrong during your double glazing installation.

In case of any argument between the 2 parties, these trade organisations offer some form of compensation or guarantee schemes, on top of company warranty, and offer independent arbitration where needed. It's always good to know that help is at hand when it is required, although the majority of double glazing installations in Billericay are completed satisfactorily.

DOUBLE GLAZING AFTERCARE AND AFTER SALES SUPPORT

Even if everything has gone smoothly during the installation there might be questions or advice needed afterwards.
