Double Glazing Chelmsford

Double Glazing Chelmsford Essex (CM1): The installation of double glazing in your home in Chelmsford, can help to increase your home's energy efficiency, reduce noise and boost security. The expression double glazing basically relates to the way these windows are made using two panes of glass, with a gas filled layer trapped between them (generally argon). Because it behaves like an insulating material, this gas provides a home or property with impressive sound proofing and thermal qualities.

The time may have come to consider upgrading your windows, if you have already got older double glazing in your house in Chelmsford but are living with issues, like condensation between the panels or draughts.

If your Chelmsford property has windows with single glazing, changing to double glazed windows will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing. Upgrading to double glazing could also add extra value to your home, which of course will be an advantage should you later opt to sell up.

DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

You should be able to find an experienced installer in the Chelmsford area who will be able to match the style of window of your choice, and one that complements your property. Whether you're searching for period sash windows for an older property in Chelmsford, or contemporary patio doors and casement windows, double glazing units are available in a variety of colours, sizes and materials to suit your needs.

Hinged on one side, double glazed casement windows can open outwards or inwards depending on their design. This allows for easier cleaning and also gives a good amount of airflow during the summer months. Casement windows can also be arranged into a tilt and turn window for more security. The addition of a supplementary hinge enables tilt and turn double glazed windows to open to a limited degree. This adds more security because they can be locked firmly into position when only partly open to enable a fresh breeze to flow into the room.

For a more traditional look to enhance a period property in Chelmsford, there are double glazed sash windows on offer. These can be double hung, where both sashes can be opened, or single hung, where only one sash slides. The sash windows of yesteryear were known for their poor energy efficiency, but this issue has been largely alleviated with modern day double glazing models, and when it comes to thermal loss, there is very little between casement and sash windows today.

Helping to bring a feeling of space to a room, bay windows look amazing. If your home in Chelmsford already has a bay window, you could replace it with a double glazed equivalent. The advantage of a bay window is the quantity of light it lets into a room, and if you have a deep sill on the interior side, it makes for a perfect place to have a window seat installed.

Through the use of uPVC materials, modern day double glazing frames can be made in virtually any colour. For a more contemporary feel you could pick aluminium, or for that traditional look - timber frames. Aluminium units no longer have to be a dull, grey and rather bland looking frame for your windows, and can easily be coloured to match your house.

All new double glazed windows must come with a CE approval mark. This mark is proof of 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 unit. The CE logo is a necessary requirement for all doors and windows made in Great Britain and within Europe. If CE approved materials are not used by your double glazing firm in Chelmsford, they might be using low quality components and made using less stringent standards. Even though these lower quality products may be good enough in some instances, you should demand guaranteed products with CE approval for your house in Chelmsford.
