Double Glazing Finchampstead

Double Glazing Finchampstead Berkshire (RG40): Putting in double glazing can help to improve security, reduce noise levels and enhance the energy efficiency of your home in Finchampstead. These windows are made using twin panes of glass with a gas filled layer, typically argon, trapped between them, thus the expression 'double glazing'. Acting as an insulating material, this gas provides excellent thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home or property.

It may be time to consider swapping your windows, if you already have older style double glazed windows in your property in Finchampstead but have been having issues, like draughts or condensation between the panels.

If your Finchampstead property currently has single glazing, upgrading to double glazing will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing. Upgrading to double glazing could also add extra value to your property, which of course will be a benefit if you eventually decide to sell up.

DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

To find windows that match your choice and complement your home, you can use a professional double glazing fitter in the Finchampstead area. From contemporary casement windows and patio doors to period sash windows for older houses, double glazed frames can be purchased in a large selection of sizes, materials and colours.

Hinged on one side, double glazed casement windows can open inwards or outwards depending on their design. This gives a good amount of airflow in the summer and allows for easier cleaning. Casement windows can also be arranged into a tilt and turn design for additional security. Tilt and turn double glazed windows have an additional hinge to be able to open slightly. As they can be locked securely in place when partially open to allow for a fresh breeze to enter the room, the security is improved.

Double glazing sash windows with a more tradition appearance can be purchased to complement older or period homes in Finchampstead. There are double hung designs where both panes can be moved, and single hung designs where just one sash can be slid open. Sash windows weren't noted for their energy efficiency during the past, but these days there is practically nothing between the thermal losses of sash and casement windows, as contemporary double glazed designs have reduced this issue.

An alternative might be a bay window, which looks amazing and helps to bring a sense of space to even the smallest of rooms. If your Finchampstead home has a bay window already, exchanging it for an equivalent double glazed frame shouldn't be too much of an issue. The benefit of a bay window is the amount of light it lets into a room, and if you have a deep sill on the inside, it is the ideal place to fit a window seat.

Modern day double glazing window frames can be manufactured in almost any colour you desire through the use of uPVC materials. It's also possible to have wooden frames for a classic feel, or aluminium double glazing for a more contemporary look. Easily coloured to suit your home, aluminium units no longer have to be a bland, grey and dull like they used to be.

All new double glazed windows that are installed in homes in Finchampstead should carry the CE approval mark. This CE mark proves the standard of both the glass and the frame, and should be plainly visible on the frame and inside the sealed glass unit. All windows and doors made in the United Kingdom and within Europe, must display the CE logo. If CE approved materials aren't used by your Finchampstead double glazing specialist, they may be using poor quality components and making their windows and doors using less stringent specifications. It's always best to demand only using products that come with a CE approval and are backed up with a guarantee or warranty.

The Benefits of Double Glazing in Finchampstead

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.

In addition, double-glazed windows are very good at controlling temperature, making them ideal for both summers and winters. Double glazing also traps cold air, which means that you can use less air conditioning in the summer and lower your air conditioning bills. Choosing windows with an A-rated energy-efficient label can reduce your annual energy bills by around £250.

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.
