Double Glazing Clayton-le-Woods Lancashire (PR6): Double glazing can increase your home's energy efficiency, reduce noise levels and improve security. Double glazing describes the method of making the window using twin panes of glass with a gas filled medium, generally argon, trapped between them. Acting as an insulating material, this gas provides excellent thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home or property.
If you have already got older style double glazing in your property in Clayton-le-Woods but are living with issues, such as condensation between the panels or draughts, it may be time to consider replacing your windows.
Condensation takes place when small gaps appear in the sealed unit, and warmer air from inside the property is allowed to enter the space between the window panes. As the warm air makes contact with the cooler outside pane of glass, moisture is formed, with condensation being the result. If this happens fairly often the time may have come to change your current windows.
If your Clayton-le-Woods home has single glazing, the switch to double glazed windows will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing. You could also increase your property's value (if you elect to sell), by making the upgrade to double glazed windows.
DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES
To obtain double glazed windows that satisfy your choice of style and match your home, you should hire a professional double glazing fitter in the Clayton-le-Woods area. From contemporary patio doors and casement windows to traditional sash windows for older homes, double glazing units are available in a variety of sizes, materials and colours.
Double glazed casement windows are hinged on one side and can open inwards or outwards. This means that they are easier to clean, and can provide a good amount of airflow during the summer season. For more security, casement windows can also be arranged into a tilt and turn window. Permitting them to open slightly, tilt and turn double glazed windows have an extra hinge. Because they can be locked securely in position when partially open to allow for cool air to enter the room, the security is increased.
For a more traditional look to complement a period home in Clayton-le-Woods, there are double glazed sash windows on offer. These can be double hung, where both of the panes can be opened, or single hung, where only one pane is moveable. In past times sash windows were not known for being energy efficient, but modern double glazing designs have reduced this problem and nowadays there is virtually nothing between casement windows and sash windows with respect to thermal losses.
Helping to bring a feeling of space to a room, bay windows look wonderful. If your Clayton-le-Woods home has an existing bay window, exchanging it for an equivalent double glazed frame shouldn't be too difficult. The benefit of a bay window is the huge amount of light it allows into a room, and if you've got a deep sill on the inside, it is the perfect place to fit a window seat.
Modern day double glazed units can be manufactured in almost any colour you desire through the use of uPVC materials. For a traditional look you can also have timber frames, or for that contemporary feel even opt for aluminium. Aluminium windows no longer have to be a grey, dull and bland looking frame for your windows, and can easily be coloured to suit your house.
All modern double glazed frames should come with a CE approval mark. This verifies the quality of the frame and of the glass and the mark should be plainly visible on the inside of the sealed glass unit and on the frame. All doors and windows produced in Great Britain and the EU, must be marked with the CE logo. Ensure that your Clayton-le-Woods double glazing firm is using CE approved materials for it's doors and windows, otherwise they may be made to less stringent standards and using inferior materials and components. Even though these poorer quality frames may be OK in some instances, you should always demand guaranteed double glazing that have CE approval for your house in Clayton-le-Woods.
