Double Glazing Dumfries

Double Glazing Dumfries Scotland (DG1): Putting in double glazing will help to reduce noise levels, improve security and increase the energy efficiency of your home in Dumfries. Double glazing refers to the way a window is made using 2 panes of glass with a gas filled layer, typically argon, trapped between them. This inert gas acts as an insulating material and delivers effective thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home in Dumfries.

If you already have older style double glazing in your property in Dumfries but are living with issues, such as condensation between the panels or draughts, the time might have come to consider upgrading your windows.

If your Dumfries property currently has single glazing, upgrading to double glazing will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing. You may 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 match your choice and complement your property, you can use an experienced double glazing installer in the Dumfries area. Double glazed units can be purchased in a variety of materials, sizes and colours, to suit period sash windows for older houses, to modern patio doors and casement windows.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazing casement windows have hinges on one side. This gives plenty of airflow in the summer months and permits easier cleaning. Casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn design for additional security. Tilt and turn double glazed windows have a supplementary hinge to be able to open slightly. This adds extra security because they can be locked firmly in position when only partially open to allow for a cool breeze to enter the room.

For a more traditional look to complement a period home in Dumfries, there are double glazed sash windows available. These can be single hung, where only one sash moves, or double hung, where both panes can be slid open. The sash windows of yesteryear had a reputation for poor standard of energy efficiency, however this problem has for the most part been reduced with contemporary double glazed models, and in relation to thermal losses, there is hardly any difference between casement and sash windows today.

Another alternative might be a bay window, which looks fabulous and helps to bring a feeling of space to even the most modest of rooms. If your home in Dumfries already has bay windows, you could replace them with double glazed equivalents. The good thing about a bay window is the quantity of light it lets into a room, and if you have a deep sill on the interior side, it is the perfect place to fit a window seat.

Today's double glazing window frames can be produced in pretty much any colour by using uPVC materials. You could also have timber frames for a classic feel, or aluminium for a somewhat more contemporary effect. Aluminium units no longer have to be a dull, grey and bland looking frame for your double glazing, and can readily be coloured to blend in with your house.

You should be able to spot the CE mark on any new double glazing that is fitted in Dumfries homes. This mark verifies the standard of both the glass and the frame, and should be plainly visible on the frame itself and inside the sealed glass unit. The CE logo is a necessity for all doors and windows produced in Britain and within Europe. If your Dumfries double glazing specialist does not use CE approved materials they could perhaps be manufactured using less stringent production standards and poor quality materials. It is best to always insist that the company only uses double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed up with a warranty.

REPLACEMENT DOUBLE GLAZING IN DUMFRIES

Finding a decent double glazing specialist in Dumfries for your new doors and windows can often begin with a recommendation from friends or neighbours. These sorts of word of mouth recommendations can be priceless when looking for a company to give you a quote, and can sometimes provide a good idea of the reliability and workings of a company. It's best to get in touch with at least 3 different firms when getting quotations for double glazing in Dumfries. So as to help you choose the perfect solution for your new windows and doors, an experienced double glazing installer should be willing to provide a free, no obligation quote. Precise measurements of your door and window frames will be taken by a salesperson, so that you will receive an accurate price for the work. It's always a wise idea to remember that there may well be a bit of room for negotating the price, if your entire property in Dumfries is being double glazed.

When you settle on a company in Dumfries and are happy with the price quoted, your brand new windows will be made-to-order. This process could take from several days to a few weeks subject to your frame type, the style of window, the opening options and the number of windows you need. The time frame for installation will be agreed upon by you and should include the need for applying for planning permission if necessary.

It is possible that you may need planning permission if your property has a restrictive covenant, is listed, is in a conservation area or is on the boundaries of a National Park. Having previously completed work in the Dumfries area, a trustworthy double glazing company will know the legal necessities and requirements, and will be happy to advise you of any restrictions.

The installation time of your windows will of course be determined by how many doors and windows are being installed. A standard double glazed window can be installed in about three hours. Taking out the existing window is included in this time, as is preparing the opening to take the new window. A normal property can be finished over a couple of days with minimal disruption to you.

DOUBLE GLAZING ACCREDITATIONS

Any double glazing specialist in Dumfries worth your consideration should be a member of the Glass and Glazing Federation, Trustmark, the Double Glazing Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme, FENSA, or some other acknowledged industry body.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

If you have a cat, you may have considered installing a cat flap in your double glazing. 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 again and again.

It's important to remember that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a do-it-yourself job, and should be carried out by a specialist. It is a complex process that requires specialist equipment and tools. It is best to hire a specialist cat flap fitter if you do not have the necessary experience for this kind of work.

How to install a cat flap in double glazing:

The first step is to choose a cat flap that is the right size for your cat and has the features you need. There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, so you can choose 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 microchip reader to allow only your cat to enter your property.

After choosing a cat flap, you need to contact a professional cat flap installer. They'll visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space where the cat flap will be installed. They can also provide you with advice on the best kind of cat flap for your needs.

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

Once the new double-glazed unit has arrived, the cat flap installer will revisit your home in Dumfries to install it. This involves removing the old double-glazed unit and replacing it with the new one. The cat flap fitter then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double-glazed unit.

Finally, the flap installer will test the cat flap to ensure that it's working properly. They will also show you how to use the flap and how to adjust the settings. (13805 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
