If you've already got older style double glazing in your property in Chandler's Ford but are dealing with issues, like condensation between the glass panes or draughts, the time may have come to think about swapping your windows.

Double Glazing Chandler's Ford Hampshire (SO53)

Condensation is caused by a small hole occurring in the seal around the glass and allowing warmer air from inside the home to get into the gap between the panes. As the warmer air comes into contact with the colder exterior pane of glass, moisture is formed, with condensation as the result. If this is happening fairly often it is probably time to change your existing windows.

Immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing will be seen if your home in Chandler's Ford has single glazed windows and you switch to double glazed windows. Upgrading to double glazed windows may also help to increase you home's value if you opt to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazed casement windows are hinged on one side only. This means that they are easily cleaned, and offer the possibility of adequate airflow during the summertime. They are also available in a tilt and turn design which adds an extra degree of security where necessary. Tilt and turn windows have an additional hinge to be able to open a small amount. This adds more security as they can be locked securely in place when partially open to enable a cool breeze to enter the room.

Double glazed sash windows with a traditional appearance can be purchased to complement older or period properties in Chandler's Ford. There are double hung designs where both of the sashes can be moved, and single hung designs where only one pane can be slid open. Sash windows were not known for their energy efficiency in times past, but nowadays there is pretty much nothing between the thermal losses of sash and casement windows, as modern day double glazing models have alleviated this issue.

An alternative might be a bay window, which looks fantastic and helps to bring a sense of space to even the most modest of rooms. If your home in Chandler's Ford has already got bay windows, it should not be too difficult to replace them with similar double glazed frames. Bay windows bring plenty of style and character to a home, but the main advantage is the huge amount of light that they let into a room. An extra benefit is being able to install a window seat, if the sill is deep enough on the inside of the window.

Modern day double glazing frames can be manufactured in pretty much any colour with the use of uPVC materials. For a more contemporary feel you could choose aluminium frames, or for that traditional look - timber frames. Aluminium units no longer have to be a grey, dull and bland looking frame for your double glazing, and can readily be coloured to match your home.

All double glazed windows installed in Chandler's Ford today must come with a CE approval mark. This CE mark verifies 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. The CE logo is a necessity for all windows and doors produced in the UK and the EU. If your Chandler's Ford double glazing specialist doesn't use CE approved materials they could be made using less stringent standards of production and inferior materials. While they may be acceptable for many uses, it's better to demand only using double glazed units that come with a CE approval and are backed by a warranty.

The Benefits of Double Glazing in Chandler's Ford

Double glazing is a great way to save money and maintain your home's value. These windows are made to reduce heat loss and help keep your house cooler during winter. In addition, they can help reduce your energy bills as a result of increased insulation. In addition to keeping your home cooler, double glazing also helps you reduce your carbon footprint. It pays for itself over time by reducing your energy bills, and it can increase the value of your home.

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 reduce your energy bills. With better temperature control, you'll use less energy, which will decrease your carbon footprint and help you save money. In addition to being environmentally friendly, double glazing can improve your home's look and feel by reducing the risk of fading. Also, this option can help protect your carpets, fabrics, and even your furniture from the damaging UV rays.
