The time might have come to think about swapping your windows, if you have already got older double glazed windows in your house in Gosport but have been having problems, like draughts or condensation between the panels.

Double Glazing Gosport Hampshire (PO12)

Condensation is caused by a small hole developing in the seal around the glass, enabling warmer air from inside the home to enter the space between the panes. As the warmer air comes into contact with the cooler exterior glass pane, moisture forms, with condensation being the result. If this is a regular occurrence, especially during the winter season, you could either replace the sealed unit, or get replacement double glazed windows.

If your Gosport property has windows with single glazing, changing to double glazing will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside sounds. Upgrading to double glazed windows can also add extra value to your home, which will obviously be advantageous when you later elect to sell up and move.

Having hinges on one side, double glazed casement windows can be made to open inwards or outwards depending on their design. This means they are easier to clean, and offer the possibility of adequate airflow during the summer season. Tilt and turn casement windows are also available for use when security is important. Tilt and turn windows have a supplementary hinge to be able to open slightly. Because they can be locked in place when only partially open to allow for cool air to enter the room, the security is increased.

Double glazed sash windows with a traditional look can be purchased to match older or period properties in Gosport. There are double hung designs where both sashes are moveable, and single hung styles where only one pane can be slid open. Sash windows weren't renowned for being energy efficient during the past, but nowadays there is very little between the thermal loss of casement and sash windows, as contemporary double glazed models have lessened this problem.

An alternative might be a bay window, which looks wonderful and helps to bring a feeling of space to even the most modest of rooms. If your Gosport home has a bay window already, exchanging it for a double glazed equivalent should not be too much of an issue. The amount of light that it lets into a room, is the main advantage of a bay window, and it is the ideal place to have a window seat installed if you have a deep sill on the inside.
