Double Glazing Hanley Staffordshire (ST1)

Condensation occurs in the gap between the panes when gaps appear in the sealed unit and warm air enters from inside the property. Moisture forms as the warmer air comes into contact with the cooler exterior pane of glass, with the result that you have a condensation problem. If this is a regular occurrence, especially in winter time, you can either have the sealed unit replaced, or get brand new double glazing.

Changing to double glazed units will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing, if your home in Hanley currently has single glazing. Upgrading to double glazing can also help to raise the value of your property should you elect to sell.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side. This permits easier cleaning and also delivers ample airflow during the summer. Casement windows can also be arranged into a tilt and turn design for more security. 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 partly open to allow for a cool breeze to flow into the room.

To suit a period property in Hanley, you can also purchase double glazing sash windows with a more traditional look. There are double hung styles where both sashes can be moved, and single hung styles where only one pane can be slid open. The sash windows of yesteryear had a reputation for poor energy efficiency, however this problem has been largely lessened with modern day double glazing designs, and with regards to thermal loss, there's very little between sash and casement windows these days.

Bay windows look amazing and can bring a feeling of space to a room. If your house in Hanley is already fitted with bay windows, you could replace them with double glazed equivalents. Bay windows bring plenty of style and character to a home, but the main advantage is the huge amount of light that they allow to flood into a room. A further benefit is being able to put in a window seat, if a deep sill exists on the interior side of the window.

With the use of uPVC materials, today's double glazed window frames can be made in virtually any colour. For a classic look you could also have wooden frames, or for a more contemporary feel even go with aluminium. Readily coloured to match your property, aluminium units no longer have to be a dull, grey and bland as they were in the past.

All double glazed windows installed in Hanley today must display the CE approval mark. This proves the quality of the glass and of the frame and the CE mark should be plainly visible inside the sealed glass panel and on the frame. All doors and windows produced in Britain and within Europe, must be marked with the CE logo. If your double glazing firm in Hanley doesn't use CE approved materials they could perhaps be manufactured using less stringent production standards and poor quality materials. Even though they may be acceptable for some uses, it is best to insist on only using double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a warranty.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

If you own a cat, you have possibly considered fitting a cat flap to your double glazing. This can be a wonderful way to give your cat the freedom to enter and exit the house as they please, without you having to continuously open and close the door for them.

There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, so you can choose one that is the best fit for your needs. Some features you may want to consider include a microchip reader or a lock. For example, you may want a cat flap with a microchip reader to allow only your cat to enter your house.

Once you've selected a cat flap, you should contact a specialist cat flap installer. They'll visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space where the cat flap will be installed. They can also give you advice on the best style of cat flap for your needs.

The cat flap fitter will order a new double glazing unit with a pre-cut hole for the cat flap, ensuring the cat flap's proper installation and maintaining the unit's integrity.

Once the new double-glazed unit has been delivered, the cat flap fitter will come back to your home in Hanley to install it. This process will involve removing the old double glazing unit and replacing it with the new one. The cat flap installer will then install the cat flap in the hole that has been cut out of the double-glazed unit.

The flap installer will test the flap to ensure its proper operation and demonstrate its settings and usage, providing you with the peace of mind that your cat flap is working properly and that you know how to use it. (47902 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
