Double Glazing Galston

Galston Double Glazed Windows & Doors

Double Glazing Galston Scotland (KA4): Double glazing can reduce noise levels, increase your home's energy efficiency and improve security. The expression double glazing actually relates to the way these windows are made using two panes of glass, with a gas layer between them (typically argon). Because it behaves like insulation, this inert gas provides a property with impressive sound proofing and thermal qualities.

If your home in Galston is already fitted with older double glazed windows, and you're experiencing problems such as draughts or condensation between the panes, now would be a great time to get new replacement double glazing to bring your building back to 21st century standards.

Double Glazing Galston Scotland (KA4)

Condensation in the gap between the window panes is caused when gaps develop in the seal around the glass and warm air enters from inside the home. As the cooler outside glass pane makes contact with the heated air, moisture is formed as condensation. If this happens frequently it is time to change your existing windows.

If your Galston home has single glazing, changing to double glazed windows will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing. Upgrading to double glazing may also add more value to your property, which will obviously be advantageous should you eventually choose to sell up and relocate.

Hinged on one side, double glazed casement windows can open inwards or outwards depending on the design. This delivers ample airflow in the warm summer months and allows for easier cleaning. Tilt and turn casement windows are also available for use when security is important. The addition of an extra hinge permits tilt and turn double glazed windows to be opened to a limited degree. This adds extra security because they can be locked firmly in place when only partially open to permit cool air to flow into the room.

Double glazing sash windows with a more tradition look can be purchased to match older and period properties in Galston. These can be double hung, where both of the sashes can be slid open, or single hung, where only one pane slides. In times past sash windows weren't known for their energy efficiency, but contemporary double glazing models have alleviated this problem and nowadays there's hardly any difference between sash and casement windows in terms of thermal loss.

Bay windows look fantastic and can bring a feeling of space to a room. If your house in Galston already has a bay window, it should not be too difficult to replace it with a double glazed equivalent. The quantity of light that it lets into a room, is the main benefit of a bay window, and it's a great place to have a window seat installed if you have a deep sill on the inside.

By using uPVC materials, modern day double glazed units can be made in almost any colour. For a more contemporary feel you could choose aluminium frames, or for the classic look - wooden frames units.

You should be able to spot the CE mark displayed on any new double glazed frames that are fitted in Galston homes. This proves the quality of the frame and the glass and the mark should be visible inside the sealed glass panel and on the frame.
