Double Glazing Colwyn Bay

Double Glazing Colwyn Bay Wales (LL29): Double glazing can enhance your home's energy efficiency, improve security and reduce noise levels. These windows are produced using a double layer of glass with a gas filled medium, generally argon, between them, thus the expression 'double glazing'. Acting like insulation, this gas provides effective thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home or property.

If your home in Colwyn Bay already has older double glazed windows fitted, and you're having problems such as condensation or draughts, it might be a wise idea to now get new replacement double glazing to bring your premises up-to-date.

Upgrading to double glazed units will result in immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside sounds, if your property in Colwyn Bay currently has windows with single glazing. You could also increase you home's value (if you opt to sell), by upgrading to double glazed windows.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

To find double glazed windows that satisfy your choice of style and match your home, you should hire a competent double glazing installer in the Colwyn Bay area. Whether you are looking for traditional sash windows for an older house in Colwyn Bay, or modern patio doors and casement windows, double glazing frames are available in an array of materials, sizes and colours to match your needs.

Double glazing casement windows are hinged to one side and can be made to open inwards or outwards. This enables easier cleaning and also provides ample airflow during the summer months. If security is crucial to you, casement windows are also available in a tilt and turn design. Tilt and turn windows have an additional hinge to be able to open slightly. Because they can be locked firmly in position when partly open to allow for a fresh breeze to enter the room, the security is enhanced.

There are also available options for double glazed sash windows for a more traditional look that are suitable for a period property in Colwyn Bay. These can be double hung, where both of the panes can be slid open, or single hung, where just one sash slides. The sash windows of yesteryear had a reputation for poor standard of energy efficiency, however this issue has for the most part been reduced with modern double glazed designs, and in relation to thermal loss, there is very little between casement and sash windows nowadays.

Helping to bring a feeling of space to a room, bay windows look fantastic. If your Colwyn Bay home has an existing bay window, replacing it with an equivalent double glazed unit should not be a problem. The advantage 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 interior side, it makes for a perfect place to have a window seat installed.

Due to the development of modern uPVC materials, almost any colour you desire is possible in today's double glazing frames. For a classic look you can also have wooden frames, or for a more contemporary feel even go with aluminium double glazing. Readily coloured to blend in with your house, aluminium windows no longer have to be a grey, dull and bland like they were in the 1970s and 80s.

All modern double glazed frames that are fitted in homes in Colwyn Bay must carry the CE approval mark. This CE mark should be visible on the inside of the sealed glass unit and on the frame, and is proof of the quality of both the frame and the glass. The CE logo is a requirement for all doors and windows made in the United Kingdom and within Europe. If your double glazing company in Colwyn Bay does not use CE approved components they could be manufactured using less stringent production standards and low quality materials. It is always best to demand that the company only uses double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a guarantee.

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 please, without you having to keep opening and closing the door repeatedly.

However, it is important to note that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a DIY task, and that the services of a professional should be sought. Specialist equipment and tools are needed for this complex procedure. It is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter if you are not experienced in this kind of work.

There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, so you can pick one that is the best fit for your needs. Some features you may want to consider include a microchip reader or a lock. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock to stop other animals from entering your house, or a cat flap with a microchip reader to allow only your cat to enter your house.

Once you've selected 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 style of cat flap for your needs, taking into account your specific requirements.

The cat flap installer will order a new double glazing unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap, thereby preserving the unit's integrity and ensuring the cat flap's proper installation.

After the new double-glazed unit is delivered, the cat flap specialist will return to your home in Colwyn Bay to install it. This process involves removing the old double-glazed unit and installing the new one. The cat flap fitter then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double glazing unit.
