Condensation develops when a small gap appears in the sealed unit, and warmer air from inside the home is allowed to enter the gap between the panes. Moisture forms as the warm air comes into contact with the colder external glass pane, with the result that you've got a condensation problem. If this is happening frequently, especially in winter time, you can either replace the sealed unit, or get brand new double glazed windows.

If your Castlereagh home currently has single glazing, the switch to double glazed units will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside sounds. You may also enhance the value of your property (if you decide to sell), by upgrading to double glazed windows.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazing casement windows have hinges on one side. This means that they're easier to clean, and offer the possibility of a good amount of airflow during the summertime. If security is vital to you, casement windows are also available in a tilt and turn pattern. The addition of a supplementary hinge allows tilt and turn double glazed windows to be opened to a limited degree. This adds more security as they can be locked firmly in position when partially open to allow for cool air to enter the room.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

Have you considered putting in a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a cat? This is a great way to let your cat come and go as they wish, without you having to keep opening and closing the door for them.

However, it's important to be aware that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a do-it-yourself job. This complex procedure requires specialist tools and equipment. It is best to hire a specialist cat flap fitter if you do not have the necessary experience for this sort of work.

After choosing a cat flap, you need to contact a professional cat flap fitter. They'll visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space where the cat flap will be installed. They can also provide you with advice on the best type of cat flap for your needs.

The cat flap fitter will then order a new double glazing unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap. This will make certain that the cat flap is installed correctly and that the integrity of the double-glazed unit is not compromised.
