The time might have come to think about swapping your windows, if you've already got older style double glazed windows in your house in Dartmouth but have been dealing with issues, such as condensation between the panels or draughts.

When a small gap develops in the seal around the glass, warm air from inside the house enters into the space between the panes and causes condensation. Moisture forms as the warmer air comes into contact with the colder outside glass pane, which means that you've got a condensation issue. If this happens regularly it's time to replace your existing windows.

If your Dartmouth home has single glazing, the switch to double glazed windows will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing. You could also raise the value of your property (when you decide to sell), by making the upgrade to double glazed windows.

Hinged on one side, double glazed casement windows can be made to open inwards or outwards depending on the design. This permits easier cleaning and also gives plenty of airflow during the summer months. Tilt and turn casement windows are also available for use where security is important. Allowing them to open slightly, tilt and turn double glazed windows have a supplementary hinge. Enhanced security is the result, because to allow cool air to enter the room, they can be locked firmly into position when only partially open.

There are also available options for double glazing sash windows with a more traditional look to complement a period property in Dartmouth. There are double hung models where both of the sashes are moveable, and single hung versions where only one pane slides. Sash windows were not known for being energy efficient in past times, but today there is pretty much nothing between the thermal losses of casement and sash windows, as modern double glazing designs have alleviated this issue.
