Double Glazing Felixstowe Suffolk (IP11): You can increase your home's energy efficiency, boost security and reduce noise levels by installing double glazing. Double glazing describes the way a window is made using twin panes of glass with a gas filled medium, typically argon, between them. Because it behaves like an insulating material, this inert gas provides a property with excellent sound proofing and thermal qualities.

It may be time to think about swapping your windows, if you've already got older style double glazed windows in your house in Felixstowe but are living with issues, like draughts or condensation between the panes.

Double Glazing Felixstowe Suffolk (IP11)

Condensation takes place when small gaps appear in the seal around the glass, and heated air from inside the home finds its way into the space between the window panes. As the heated air makes contact with the colder outside pane of glass, moisture forms, with condensation being the result. If this is a regular occurrence, especially during the winter months, you could either have the sealed unit replaced, or get replacement double glazing.

The switch to double glazing will result in immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises, if your house in Felixstowe has currently got single glazing. Upgrading to double glazed windows can also help to raise your property's value should you elect to sell.

Double glazed casement windows are hinged on one side and can open inwards or outwards. This delivers ample airflow in the warmer summer months and permits easier cleaning. Tilt and turn casement windows are also available for use where security is important. Tilt and turn double glazed windows have an extra hinge to be able to open a small amount. As they can be locked firmly into position when partly open to allow for a fresh breeze to enter the room, the security is improved.

There are also options available for double glazing sash windows with a more traditional look to complement a period house in Felixstowe. These can be double hung, where both of the sashes can be opened, or single hung, where just one sash moves. Sash windows weren't renowned for being energy efficient in past times, but these days there is pretty much nothing between the thermal losses of casement and sash windows, as modern double glazing designs have reduced this issue.

Bay windows look great and can bring a sense of space to a room. If you've got an existing bay window it is possible to change it for an equivalent double glazed unit to keep the style. Bay windows bring lots of character and style to a property, but the main benefit is the amount of light that they allow to flood into a room. A further plus point is having the opportunity to put in a window seat, if the sill is deep enough on the inside of the window.

Modern double glazed frames can be manufactured in virtually any colour you desire by using uPVC materials. For a more contemporary feel you could pick aluminium frames, or for that classic look - wooden frames units. Easily coloured to blend in with your house, aluminium units no longer have to be a bland, grey and dull as they were in the past.

You must be able to spot the CE mark on any modern double glazing that is fitted in Felixstowe homes. This CE mark proves the standard of both the frame and the glass, and should be visible on the frame itself and on the inside of the sealed glass panel. The CE logo is a necessary requirement for all windows and doors made in the United Kingdom and the EU. If CE approved materials aren't used by your Felixstowe double glazing specialist, they might be using substandard components and making their windows using less stringent standards. While they might be good enough for certain uses, it's best to demand only using double glazed units that come with a CE approval and are backed by a guarantee.
