The time might have come to look at swapping your windows, if you've already got older double glazing in your home in Grantham but have been living with problems, such as condensation between the panels or draughts.

Double Glazing Grantham Lincolnshire (NG31)

Condensation takes place when small gaps appear in the sealed unit, and warmer air from inside the house finds its way into the gap between the panes. As the colder exterior glass pane makes contact with the warm air, moisture droplets form as condensation. If this is happening regularly the time may have come to change your current windows.

Changing to double glazing will result in immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing, if your property in Grantham currently has single glazed windows. You may also boost you home's value (if you decide to sell), by making the upgrade to double glazing.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazing casement windows have hinges on one side. This gives plenty of airflow in the summertime and permits easier cleaning. For extra security, casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn window. Tilt and turn windows have an extra hinge to be able to open slightly. Increased security results, because to let a cool breeze to flow into the room, they can be locked securely in place when partly open.

There are also available options for double glazed sash windows with a more traditional appearance to complement a period property in Grantham. There are single hung designs where only one sash slides, and double hung styles, where both of the sashes slide. The sash windows of yesteryear were known for their poor energy efficiency, but this issue has been largely alleviated with modern day double glazing models, and in relation to thermal loss, there is hardly any difference between casement and sash windows these days.

Bay windows look wonderful and can bring a feeling of space to a room. If you have an existing bay window it is possible to change it for a double glazed equivalent to maintain the style. The amount of light that it allows into a room, is the main advantage of a bay window, and it is the ideal place to fit a window seat if you have a deep sill on the interior side.

Modern day double glazed frames can be manufactured in pretty much any colour you desire with the use of uPVC materials.

This mark should be plainly visible inside the sealed glass panel and on the frame, and verifies the standard of both the frame and the glass.

If your Grantham double glazing company does not use CE approved components they could be manufactured using less stringent production standards and cheaper materials. Even though they may be acceptable for certain uses, it's best to demand only using double glazed units that come with CE approval and are backed by a warranty.

You might have pondered the possibility of fitting a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a cat. This can be a fantastic way to give your cat the freedom to come and go as they wish, without you constantly having to open and shut the door for them.

It is important to be aware that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a do-it-yourself job, and that a professional should be hired to carry out the work.
