Double Glazing Borehamwood

Double Glazing Borehamwood Hertfordshire (WD6): The installation of double glazing can help to reduce noise levels, boost security and raise the energy efficiency of your home in Borehamwood. Double glazing refers to the way a window is made using 2 panes of glass with a gas layer, generally argon, trapped between them. Because it behaves like an insulating material, this gas provides a home with impressive thermal and sound proofing qualities.

If your home in Borehamwood is already fitted with older double glazed windows, and you are experiencing issues like draughts or condensation, now would be a great time to get some new replacement double glazing to bring your property back to 21st century standards.

If your Borehamwood property has single glazing, the switch to double glazed windows will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside sounds. You may also raise you home's value (should you opt to sell), by making the upgrade to double glazed windows.

DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

You can find a specialist window fitter in the Borehamwood area who'll be able to match the style of window of your choice, and that complements your property. Whether you are looking for contemporary patio doors and casement windows, or traditional sash windows for an older property in Borehamwood, double glazing units are available in an array of sizes, colours and materials to fit your needs.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazed casement windows are hinged on one side only. This enables easier cleaning and also provides a good amount of airflow during the summer. They are also available in a tilt and turn design which adds an additional degree of security where required. The addition of a supplementary hinge enables tilt and turn windows to be opened to a limited degree. Enhanced security is the result, because to allow a cool breeze to enter the room, they can be locked securely into position when only partly open.

There are also options available for double glazing sash windows with a more traditional look to complement a period property in Borehamwood. These can be double hung, where both sashes can be opened, or single hung, where only one sash slides. The sash windows of the past were renowned for their poor energy efficiency, but this issue has been largely alleviated with contemporary double glazed designs, and when it comes to thermal losses, there is very little difference between sash and casement windows nowadays.

Helping to bring a sense of space to a room, bay windows look amazing. If your home in Borehamwood already has a bay window, it can fairly easily be replaced with an equivalent double glazed frame. The advantage of a bay window is the amount of light it allows into a room, and if you've got a deep sill on the interior side, it makes for a perfect place to fit a window seat.

Modern double glazed window frames can be made in virtually any colour with the use of uPVC materials. It is also possible to have timber frames for a traditional look, or aluminium for a somewhat more modern feel. Aluminium frames no longer have to be a grey, dull and bland looking frame for your windows, and can readily be coloured to suit your property.

All modern double glazing that is fitted in homes in Borehamwood must carry the CE approval mark. This CE mark verifies the quality of both the glass and the frame, and should be visible on the frame and on the inside of the sealed glass unit. All windows and doors made in the UK and within Europe, must be marked with the CE logo. Make sure that your double glazing company in Borehamwood is using CE approved materials for manufacturing it's windows and doors, otherwise they might be made to less stringent standards and using inferior materials and components. It's better to always demand that the company only uses products that come with a CE approval and are backed up with a warranty or guarantee.
