Double Glazing Brixham

Double Glazing Brixham Devon (TQ5): You can enhance your home's energy efficiency, improve security and reduce noise by installing double glazing. These windows are made using twin panes of glass with a gas layer, generally argon, trapped between them, thus the expression 'double glazing'. As it acts like insulation, this inert gas provides a home or property with impressive thermal and sound proofing qualities.

If your home in Brixham already has older style double glazed windows installed, and you're experiencing issues like draughts or condensation between the panes, now would be a great time to get new replacement double glazing to bring your building back in shape.

If your Brixham property has single glazed windows, changing to double glazed units will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. Upgrading to double glazed windows can also help to increase you home's value should you choose to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

By hiring a professional double glazing fitter in Brixham, you will be able obtain windows that both match the style of your choice and accentuate your house perfectly. Whether you're searching for traditional sash windows for an older property in Brixham, or contemporary casement windows and patio doors, double glazed frames can be bought in a wide range of sizes, colours and materials to suit your needs.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazing casement windows have hinges on one side. This means that they're easier to clean, and can provide ample airflow during the summer season. Casement windows can also be arranged into a tilt and turn design for additional security. Tilt and turn double glazed windows have a supplementary hinge to be able to open a small amount. This adds extra security because they can be locked firmly in place when partly open to permit a cool breeze to flow into the room.

Double glazing sash windows with a traditional appearance are available to match older or period houses in Brixham. These can be found in both single hung and double hung versions, where either one or both sashes can slide. The sash windows of the past had a reputation for poor energy efficiency, but this issue has been largely reduced with contemporary double glazed models, and in relation to thermal loss, there is hardly any difference between sash and casement windows nowadays.

Bay windows look fantastic and can bring a feeling of space to a room. If your Brixham property has a bay window already, exchanging it for a double glazed equivalent should not be a problem. The quantity of light that it lets into a room, is the main benefit of a bay window, and it makes for a perfect place to have a window seat installed if you've got a deep sill on the inside.

Today's double glazing units can be produced in pretty much any colour with the use of uPVC materials. For a traditional look you could also have wooden frames, or for a more contemporary feel even choose aluminium frames. Easily coloured to complement your property, aluminium units no longer have to be a bland, dull and grey like they used to be.

All new double glazed frames must display the CE approval mark. This CE mark is proof of the quality of both the glass and the frame, and should be plainly visible on the frame itself and on the inside of the sealed glass unit. All doors and windows manufactured in the British Isles and the EU, must be marked with the CE logo. If your double glazing firm in Brixham doesn't use CE approved materials they could possibly be manufactured using less rigorous standards of production and inferior materials. Even though these may be good enough for certain uses, it's better to demand only using double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a guarantee.
