Double Glazing Cowes

Double Glazing Cowes Isle of Wight (PO31): Putting double glazing into your home in Cowes, will enhance your home's energy efficiency, reduce noise and boost security. Double glazing describes the method of making the window using a double layer of glass with a gas layer, normally argon, between them. This inert gas acts as an insulating material and provides outstanding sound proofing and thermal qualities for any property in Cowes.

It may be time to look at upgrading your windows, if you've already got older double glazing in your house in Cowes but are experiencing issues, such as draughts or condensation between the panels.

If your Cowes home has single glazing, changing to double glazed units will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing. You could also enhance the value of your home (if you decide to sell), by upgrading to double glazing.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

To find double glazed windows that satisfy your choice of style and match your home, you should use a specialist double glazing installer in the Cowes area. From modern casement windows and patio doors to traditional sash windows for older houses, double glazing units can be bought in a wide array of sizes, materials and colours.

Having hinges on one side, double glazed casement windows can open inwards or outwards depending on the design. This means that they're easier to clean, and offer the possibility of ample airflow during the summer season. They're also available in a tilt and turn arrangement which adds another level of security where required. Tilt and turn double glazed windows have an additional hinge to be able to open a small amount. This adds extra security as they can be locked firmly in position when partially open to enable cool air to flow into the room.

There are also options available for double glazed sash windows with a more traditional look to complement a period home in Cowes. These can be found in both single hung and double hung versions, where either one or both sashes are able to be slid open. In times past sash windows weren't known for their energy efficiency, but modern day double glazing models have alleviated this issue and nowadays there is very little between sash and casement windows when it comes to thermal loss.

An alternative might be a bay window, which will look great and help to bring a sense of space to even the smallest of rooms. If your house in Cowes is already fitted with bay windows, you could replace them with equivalent double glazed frames. The good thing about 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 interior side, it's a great place to fit a window seat.

Due to the development uPVC materials, practically any colour is possible in today's double glazed units. For a classic look you could also have timber frames, or for a more modern feel even opt for aluminium. Modern aluminium windows can easily be coloured to suit your property and no longer have to be a grey, dull and bland looking frame for your windows.

All double glazed windows installed today must come with a CE approval mark. This 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 unit. For all windows and doors produced in the United Kingdom and within Europe, the CE logo is a necessity. Make sure your double glazing specialist in Cowes is using CE approved materials for manufacturing it's windows, otherwise they may be made to less rigorous standards and using cheaper materials and components. It is always better to demand only using products that come with a CE approval and are backed by a guarantee.
