Double Glazing Ferndown Dorset (BH22)

Condensation occurs in the gap between the panes when gaps appear in the sealed unit and warmer air enters from inside the home. As the warm air comes into contact with the cooler outside glass pane, moisture forms, with condensation as the result. If this is a regular occurrence, especially during the wintertime, you can either have the sealed unit replaced, or get replacement windows.

If your Ferndown home has single glazing, changing to double glazing will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. You may also raise the value of your home (should you elect to sell), by upgrading to double glazing.

Hinged on one side, double glazing casement windows can open inwards or outwards depending on their design. This provides a good amount of airflow in the summer and permits easier cleaning. They're also available in a tilt and turn design which adds an extra level of security where required. The addition of a supplementary hinge allows tilt and turn double glazed windows to open to a limited degree. Enhanced security is the result, because to allow cool air to enter the room, they can be locked into position when partly open.

Double glazing sash windows with a more tradition look are available to complement older or period homes in Ferndown. These are available in both single hung and double hung models, where either one or both panes can be slid open. In past times sash windows weren't noted for their energy efficiency, but modern day double glazed models have alleviated this issue and nowadays there's virtually nothing between casement windows and sash windows in terms of thermal losses.

Bay windows look awesome and can bring a feeling of space to a room. If you have an existing bay window it's possible to replace it with an equivalent double glazed frame to keep the style. The huge amount of light that it allows into a room, is the good thing about a bay window, and it is the perfect place to fit a window seat if you've got a deep sill on the inside.

Due to the development of modern uPVC materials, just about any colour is possible in today's double glazed units. For a more contemporary feel you could pick aluminium frames, or for that traditional look - timber frames.

The Benefits of Double Glazing in Ferndown

Double glazing can improve the energy efficiency of your home by keeping the warm air inside and preventing cold from entering. Studies have shown that up to 50% of heat is lost through doors and windows. The insulating properties of double glazing can reduce this loss by up to 81%. This means that your home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, and you can reduce your energy bill accordingly. Additionally, double glazing can help to reduce noise pollution, as thicker windows will reduce noise from busy roads, airports, and other sources.

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.

Another great benefit of double glazing is that it helps a home retain warmth from the sun. This will reduce your heating and air conditioning costs in the winter and keep your home cooler during summer. This will help you save on your energy bill, as well as save on your carbon footprint. So if you are looking for a better way to reduce energy costs, installing double glazing is a smart move.

Double glazing can also increase the value of your home. Many homebuyers look for properties that don't require extensive renovation. It can also reduce noise levels, which are important to homeowners who want to sell their home.
