Double Glazing Epsom

Epsom Double Glazed Windows & Doors

Double Glazing Epsom Surrey (KT17): Double glazing can reduce noise levels, improve security and increase your home's energy efficiency. The expression double glazing basically refers to the method of making these windows using a double layer of glass, with a gas filled medium between them (typically argon). This inert gas acts as insulation and provides tremendous thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home in Epsom.

It might be time to think about updating your windows, if you already have older double glazed windows in your home in Epsom but are experiencing issues, such as draughts or condensation between the glass panes.

Double Glazing Epsom Surrey (KT17)

Condensation takes place when a small gap appears in the seal around the glass, and warmer air from inside the home is allowed to enter the gap between the glass panes. As the cooler outside glass pane comes into contact with the warmer air, moisture droplets form as condensation. If this is happening regularly, particularly during the winter, you could either replace the sealed unit, or get brand new windows.

An immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing will be noticed if your home in Epsom currently has single glazed windows and you upgrade them to double glazed windows. Upgrading to double glazed windows may also add extra value to your property, which will obviously be advantageous should you later decide to sell up.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

You can find a competent installer in the Epsom area who'll be able to source windows to match the style of your choice, and that perfectly complement your property. Whether you are looking for traditional sash windows for an older house in Epsom, or contemporary casement windows and patio doors, double glazed units can be found in a wide selection of materials, sizes and colours to match your needs.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazing casement windows have hinges on one side. This gives plenty of airflow in the summertime and permits easier cleaning. If security is vital to you, double glazed casement windows are also made of a tilt and turn design. Enabling them to open slightly, tilt and turn double glazed windows have an additional hinge. Increased security is the result, because to allow cool air to enter the room, they can be locked firmly in place when only partially open.

For a more traditional look to suit a period house in Epsom, there are double glazing sash windows available. These can be purchased in both single hung and double hung styles, where either one or both panes can slide. Sash windows weren't known for their energy efficiency in the past, but today there's virtually nothing between the thermal losses of casement and sash windows, as modern day double glazed designs have alleviated this problem.

Another alternative may be a bay window, which will look wonderful and help to bring a feeling of space to even the smallest of rooms. If your house in Epsom has already got bay windows, they can fairly easily be replaced with double glazed equivalents. Bay windows bring a lot of style and character to a property, but the main advantage is the amount of light that they allow into a room. Another benefit is having the opportunity to install a window seat, if a deep sill exists on the interior side of the window.

Double Glazing Quotes in Epsom Surrey

Modern day double glazed frames can be manufactured in almost any colour with the use of uPVC materials. It's also possible to have timber frames for a traditional look, or aluminium for a somewhat more contemporary feel. Aluminium units no longer have to be a grey, dull and rather bland looking frame for your double glazing, and can easily be coloured to suit your home.

You must be able to find the CE mark on any modern double glazing that is installed in Epsom homes. This mark is proof of the standard of both the glass and the frame, and should be plainly visible on the frame and on the inside of the sealed glass panel. All windows and doors made in Britain and within Europe, must display the CE logo. If CE approved materials aren't used by your Epsom double glazing company, they could be using substandard components and made using less rigorous standards. It's always best to demand that the company only uses double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a guarantee.

Once you decide on a double glazing company in Epsom and are happy with the price quoted, your brand new windows will be made-to-measure. Subject to the opening options, your frame type, the number of windows you need and the style of window, this may take anything from a few days to several weeks. If planning permission is required, this will need to be applied for, and an agreed time frame for installation can be set between yourself and the company.

This also includes removing the existing window and trueing up the opening for the new windows to sit in. In a couple of days, a typical home in Epsom can be finished with hardly any disruption to you and your family.

ACCREDITATIONS

The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows in Epsom

Double glazing has a number of benefits for homeowners. For one thing, it can help to reduce energy consumption. It also can help to reduce noise from outside the home. It is estimated that double glazing can reduce noise in your home by as much as 60%. This is a big benefit, especially if you live in a noisy neighbourhood.

Another advantage of double glazing is its ability to reduce condensation. This is because of the airtight seal between the two panes of glass. This barrier prevents air from escaping and prevents mould from forming. While mould is unsightly, it can also be uncomfortable. Furthermore, condensation makes a room feel cold. Double glazing reduces this problem by making a room feel cozier and more comfortable.

Condensation is a serious problem in a home. Excess moisture that accumulates on windows and doors can lead to mould and rot, affecting the house's value as well as the health of its occupants. When condensation gets worse, it can also damage the foundations of your home. To solve this problem, you should invest in double glazing for your home.

Double glazing can also reduce your energy bills. With better temperature control, you'll use less energy, which will decrease your carbon footprint and help you save money. In addition to being environmentally friendly, double glazing can improve your home's look and feel by reducing the risk of fading. Also, this option can help protect your carpets, fabrics, and even your furniture from the damaging UV rays.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

If a cat is a part of your household, you might have considered installing a cat flap in your double glazing. This can be a fantastic way to give your cat the freedom to come and go as they wish, without you continually having to open and shut the door for them.

It's important to remember that installing a cat flap in double glazing isn't a do-it-yourself job, and should be carried out by a specialist. Specialised equipment and tools are required for this complex process. Unless you are experienced in this kind of work, it is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter.

How to install a cat flap in double glazing:

When choosing a cat flap, it is important to consider the size of your cat and 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. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock or a microchip reader.

Once you have chosen a cat flap, it is advisable to contact a specialist cat flap installer. They will visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space for the cat flap installation. They can also advise you 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, ensuring the cat flap's proper installation and preserving the unit's integrity.

The cat flap fitter will return to your home in Epsom to install the new double-glazed unit once it has been delivered. This process entails 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.

The flap installer will test the cat flap to ensure its proper functioning and demonstrate its settings and usage, providing you with the knowledge and confidence to operate the device independently. (47902 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
