Double Glazing Chineham

Double Glazing Chineham Hampshire (RG24): You can enhance your home's energy efficiency, boost security and reduce noise levels by installing double glazing. Double glazing refers to the way a window is made using two panes of glass with a gas filled medium, typically argon, between them. Because it behaves like insulation, this inert gas provides a home or property with impressive sound proofing and thermal qualities.

If you already have older style double glazed windows in your house in Chineham but are living with problems, such as draughts or condensation between the panels, it might be time to consider replacing your windows.

If your Chineham property currently has single glazing, the switch to double glazing will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing. Upgrading to double glazing may also add more value to your home, which of course will be an advantage should you later decide to sell up.

DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

To obtain windows that match your choice and complement your home, you should use a professional double glazing installer in the Chineham area. Whether you're searching for period sash windows for an older property in Chineham, or contemporary casement windows and patio doors, double glazing frames can be bought in a wide range of colours, sizes and materials to fit your needs.

Hinged on one side, double glazed casement windows can open inwards or outwards depending on the design. This means they are easily cleaned, and can provide a good amount of airflow during the summer season. For additional security, casement windows can also be arranged into a tilt and turn design. Permitting them to be opened a small amount, tilt and turn windows have an additional hinge. Because they can be locked in position when partially open to allow for a fresh breeze to enter the room, the security is increased.

There are also options available for double glazed sash windows for a more traditional appearance that are suitable for a period home in Chineham. These can be double hung, where both of the sashes can be slid open, or single hung, where just one sash moves. In past times sash windows were not known for their energy efficiency, but modern day double glazing designs have lessened this issue and today there's pretty much nothing between sash and casement windows with regards to thermal loss.

Helping to bring a sense of space to a room, bay windows look wonderful. If your Chineham home has a bay window already, exchanging it for an equivalent double glazed frame should not be too difficult. The benefit of a bay window is the quantity of light it allows into a room, and if you've got a sill that is sufficiently deep on the inside, it's an ideal place to fit a window seat.

Modern double glazing frames can be made in almost any colour through the use of uPVC materials. It is also possible to have wooden frames for a traditional look, or aluminium double glazing for a somewhat more modern feel. Readily coloured to blend in with your home, aluminium windows no longer have to be a dull, bland and grey like they were in the 1970s and 80s.

All double glazed windows fitted today must come with a CE approval mark. This CE mark is proof of the standard of both the glass and the frame, and should be visible on the frame and inside the sealed glass panel. For all windows and doors made in the British Isles and within Europe, the CE logo is a legal requirement. If CE approved materials are not used by your double glazing firm in Chineham, they might be using substandard components and making their windows using less stringent specifications. Whilst these might be acceptable for some uses, it is better to demand only using double glazed frames that come with CE approval and are backed by a guarantee.

REPLACEMENT DOUBLE GLAZING IN CHINEHAM

A good starting place when searching for a double glazing company in Chineham is to ask friends and family for recommendations. Word of mouth recommendations provide insights into how a company works and can be valuable when hunting for potential companies to provide you with a price quote. Try to contact at least three different firms when gathering estimates for double glazing in Chineham. A free, no obligation quote will be provided by an established double glazing installer, so that you're able to pick the perfect solution for your needs. Detailed measurements of your window and door frames will be taken by the salesperson, so that you'll get an exact price for the work. It is always a good idea to bear in mind that there could be some room for negotating the total price, if your entire house in Chineham is going to be double glazed.

When you're satisfied with a price you've been quoted, and have decided which company in Chineham to use, your brand new double glazing doors and windows will be made-to-order at the factory. This can take from several days to a few weeks subject to the design of window, your frame type, the number of doors and windows you need and the opening options. If you require planning permission, this should be organised, and a time frame for installation can be agreed between yourself and the company.

It might be necessary to get planning permission if your house is in a conservation area, is a listed building, is in an area such as the boundaries of a National Park or has a restrictive covenant. Having previously completed work in the Chineham area, a reputable double glazing company will understand the legal requirements and necessities, and will advise you on any restrictions.

The installation time of your double glazing will of course depend on how many windows and doors are being installed. It typically takes less than three hours to install a regular double glazed window frame. Included in this time, is removing the old window and preparing the opening for the new unit to sit in. In a day or two, a normal house in Chineham can be finished with very little disruption to you and your family.

DOUBLE GLAZING ACCREDITATIONS

Any double glazing firm in Chineham worth their salt should have accreditations from the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF), the DGCOS (Double Glazing Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme), FENSA, Trustmark, or some other recognised trade organisation.

Whilst these trade bodies do not necessarily mean that nothing will go wrong during the installation of your double glazing, it does demonstrate that the company is qualified, experienced and complies with building regulations, which is a legal requirement.

These trade associations also provide some form of compensation or guarantee schemes, along with the company warranty, to make sure that if there is any argument there's an unbiased arbitration between the two parties. It's good to know that help is available if it is needed, although the vast majority of double glazing installations in Chineham are completed with 100% satisfaction.

AFTERCARE AND AFTER SALES SUPPORT

There could be questions or advice needed afterwards, even when work has gone smoothly during your window installation in Chineham. Your double glazing should come with a comprehensive guarantee of up to 10 years, and most double glazing specialists in Chineham will also offer a troubleshooting and callout service should anything go wrong with your windows or doors.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

You might have pondered the possibility of fitting a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a cat. This can be a wonderful way to give your cat the freedom to enter and exit the house as they wish, without you having to continuously open and close the door for them.

However, it is important to remember that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a job that can be done by yourself, and should be left to the professionals. This is a complex procedure that requires specialised equipment and tools. Unless you are experienced in this sort of work, it is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter.

How to install a cat flap in double glazing:

The first step is to choose the right cat flap. There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, so it is important to pick one that is the right size for your cat and that has the features that you need. For example, you may want a cat flap with a microchip reader or a lock.

Once you've chosen a cat flap, a specialist cat flap fitter should be contacted. They'll visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space for the cat flap. They can also advise you on the best kind of cat flap for your needs, taking into account your specific requirements.

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

The cat flap fitter will return to your home in Chineham to install the new double glazing unit once it has been delivered. This involves removing the old double-glazed unit and installing the new one. The cat flap installer then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double-glazed unit, ensuring proper installation and maintaining the unit's integrity.

The device fitter will test the cat flap to ensure its proper functioning and demonstrate its settings and usage. (47902 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
