Hinged on one side, double glazed casement windows can open outwards or inwards depending on the design. This means that they're easily cleaned, and offer the possibility of a good amount of airflow during the summertime. If security is important to you, casement windows are also available in a tilt and turn style. The addition of a supplementary hinge allows tilt and turn double glazed windows to open to a limited degree. Because they can be locked securely in place when partially open to allow for a cool breeze to flow into the room, the security is improved.

Through the use of uPVC materials, modern double glazed frames can be made in pretty much any colour. For a more contemporary feel you could pick aluminium, or for that traditional look - timber frames units. Easily coloured to suit your home, aluminium units no longer have to be a dull, bland and grey as they were in the past.

All new double glazed frames should come with a CE approval mark. This verifies the standard of the glass and of the frame and the CE mark should be visible inside the sealed glass panel and on the frame. For all doors and windows produced in the United Kingdom and the EU, the CE logo is a necessity. If CE approved materials aren't used by your double glazing firm in Billingham, they may be using poor quality components and making their windows using less stringent standards. Although these might be acceptable for certain uses, it's better to insist on only using products that come with CE approval and are backed by a guarantee.
