Double Glazing Buntingford

Double Glazing Buntingford Hertfordshire (SG9): The installation of double glazing in your home in Buntingford, can increase your home's energy efficiency, boost security and reduce noise. The expression double glazing essentially refers to the way these windows are made using two panes of glass, with a gas layer between them (typically argon). Because it acts like an insulating material, this gas provides a home with impressive sound proofing and thermal qualities.

If you already have older double glazed windows in your property in Buntingford but are living with issues, such as condensation between the glass panes or draughts, the time might have come to think about updating your windows.

The switch to double glazed windows will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing, if your house in Buntingford currently has single glazing. You may also increase the value of your property (if you choose to sell), by upgrading to double glazing.

DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

By using a professional double glazing fitter in Buntingford, you'll be able obtain windows that both match your choice of style and accentuate your property perfectly. From contemporary patio doors and casement windows to period sash windows for older homes, double glazed units can be purchased in a whole host of sizes, colours and materials.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazed casement windows are hinged on one side only. This means that they're easier to clean, and offer the possibility of ample airflow during the summer season. Casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn design for more security. Tilt and turn windows have an additional hinge to be able to open a small amount. This adds extra security as they can be locked securely in place when partly open to enable a cool breeze to enter the room.

To complement an older or period home in Buntingford, there are also options available for double glazed sash windows with a traditional look. These can be single hung, where only one pane moves, or double hung, where both of the panes can be slid open. The sash windows of the past were renowned for their poor standard of energy efficiency, but this problem has been largely lessened with contemporary double glazing models, and with respect to thermal loss, there's very little between sash and casement windows today.

Another alternative might be a bay window, which looks wonderful and helps to bring a feeling of space to even the smallest of rooms. If your Buntingford property has a bay window already, exchanging it for a double glazed equivalent shouldn't be too much of a problem. Bay windows bring a lot of style and character to a home, however the main advantage is the amount of light that they let into a room. A further benefit is being able to put in a window seat, if the sill is deep enough on the interior side of the window.

With the use of uPVC materials, modern day double glazed frames can be made in pretty much any colour. It's also possible to have wooden frames for a classic look, or aluminium frames for a somewhat more modern feel. Readily coloured to suit your home, aluminium windows no longer have to be a dull, grey and bland like they were in the 70's and 80's.

All double glazing fitted in Buntingford today must come with a CE approval mark. This proves the quality of the glass and of the frame and the CE mark should be plainly visible inside the sealed glass panel and on the frame. All windows and doors produced in the British Isles and the EU, must display the CE logo. Make sure your double glazing company in Buntingford is using CE approved materials for manufacturing it's doors and windows, or else they may be made to less rigorous standards and using cheaper components and materials. Whilst these might be acceptable for many uses, it is better to insist on only using double glazed frames that come with CE approval and are backed by a guarantee.
