Double Glazing Bodmin

These windows are created using 2 panes of glass with a gas filled medium, typically argon, trapped between them, thus the term 'double glazing'. Acting as an insulating material, this inert gas delivers outstanding thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home or property.

If you've already got older style double glazing in your property in Bodmin but are faced with issues, like condensation between the panels or draughts, it may be time to consider swapping your windows.

The switch to double glazed units will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing, if your home in Bodmin currently has single glazed windows. The upgrade to double glazed windows can also help to raise the value of your property when you opt to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

To find double glazed windows that match your choice of style and complement your home, you can use a professional double glazing fitter in the Bodmin area. Double glazing units can be found in a variety of materials, colours and sizes, to match traditional sash windows for older properties, to contemporary patio doors and casement windows.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side. This provides plenty of airflow in the summertime and permits easier cleaning. They're also available in a tilt and turn set up which adds an added degree of security where needed. Allowing them to be opened slightly, tilt and turn windows have a supplementary hinge. As they can be locked firmly in place when partially open to allow for a cool breeze to flow into the room, the security is increased.

There are also options available for double glazing sash windows with a more traditional appearance to complement a period home in Bodmin. These can be double hung, where both panes can be opened, or single hung, where only one pane slides. The sash windows of the past had a reputation for poor standard of energy efficiency, however this problem has been largely lessened with modern day double glazed models, and with regard to thermal loss, there is very little difference between casement and sash windows today.

An alternative may be a bay window, which looks fantastic and helps to bring a feeling of space to even the smallest of rooms. If your home in Bodmin already has bay windows, it should not be too difficult to replace them with double glazed equivalents. The quantity of light that it allows into a room, is the good thing about a bay window, and it is the ideal place to install a window seat if you have a deep sill on the interior side.

Modern day double glazing units can be made in almost any colour through the use of uPVC materials. For a classic look you can also have timber frames, or for a more modern feel even opt for aluminium. Aluminium windows no longer have to be a dull, grey and rather bland looking frame for your double glazing, and can easily be coloured to suit your house.

All modern double glazed windows that are fitted in homes in Bodmin must carry the CE approval mark. This mark is proof of the standard of both the frame and the glass, and should be plainly visible on the frame itself and on the inside of the sealed glass panel. For all doors and windows produced in the United Kingdom and within Europe, the CE logo is a legal requirement. Ensure that your Bodmin double glazing firm is using CE approved materials in the manufacture of it's windows, or else they may be made to less stringent standards and using substandard components and materials. While these may be good enough for many uses, it's better to insist on only using double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a guarantee.

The Benefits of Double Glazing in Bodmin

Double glazing can improve the energy efficiency of your home by keeping the warm air inside and preventing cold from entering. Studies have shown that up to 50% of heat is lost through doors and windows. The insulating properties of double glazing can reduce this loss by up to 81%. This means that your home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, and you can reduce your energy bill accordingly. Additionally, double glazing can help to reduce noise pollution, as thicker windows will reduce noise from busy roads, airports, and other sources.

Another advantage of double glazing is its ability to reduce condensation. This is because of the airtight seal between the two panes of glass. This barrier prevents air from escaping and prevents mould from forming. While mould is unsightly, it can also be uncomfortable. Furthermore, condensation makes a room feel cold. Double glazing reduces this problem by making a room feel cozier and more comfortable.

Condensation is a serious problem in a home. Excess moisture that accumulates on windows and doors can lead to mould and rot, affecting the house's value as well as the health of its occupants. When condensation gets worse, it can also damage the foundations of your home. To solve this problem, you should invest in double glazing for your home.

Double glazing can also increase the value of your home. Many homebuyers look for properties that don't require extensive renovation. It can also reduce noise levels, which are important to homeowners who want to sell their home.

You may have pondered installing a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a feline companion. This can be a great way to give your cat the freedom to come and go as they please, without you having to continuously open and close the door for them.

It is important to remember, however, that installing a cat flap in double glazing isn't a DIY job. Specialised equipment and tools are essential for this complex process. In the absence of experience in this type of work, it is best to hire a specialist cat flap fitter.

How to install a cat flap in double glazing:

The first step is to choose a cat flap that is the right size for your cat and has the features you need. There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, so you can pick one that is the best fit for your needs. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock or a microchip reader.

Once you've selected a cat flap, you should contact a specialist cat flap fitter. They will visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space where the cat flap will be installed. They can also give you advice on the best sort of cat flap for your needs.

To preserve the double glazing unit's integrity and ensure the cat flap's proper installation, the cat flap fitter will order a new double glazing unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap.

The cat flap fitter will return to your home in Bodmin to install the new double glazing unit once it has been delivered. This process entails removing the old double glazing unit and replacing it with the new one. The cat flap specialist then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double glazing unit.
