Double Glazing Hassocks

Double Glazing Hassocks West Sussex (BN6): The installation of double glazing will help to reduce noise, improve security and enhance the energy efficiency of your Hassocks home. These windows are created using a double layer of glass with a gas filled medium, normally argon, between them, thus the term 'double glazing'. Because it behaves like insulation, this inert gas provides a property with effective thermal and sound proofing qualities.

If your house in Hassocks already has older style double glazed windows fitted, and you're experiencing problems like draughts or condensation between the panes, it may be a good idea to now get new replacement double glazing to bring your building up-to-date.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

By using a competent double glazing installer in Hassocks, you'll be able find windows that match your choice of style and enhance your house perfectly. From modern patio doors and casement windows to period sash windows for older properties, double glazing frames can be found in a variety of materials, colours and sizes.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazing casement windows have hinges on one side. This provides plenty of airflow in the warm summer months and enables easier cleaning. They're also available in a tilt and turn arrangement which adds another degree of security where essential. Enabling them to open slightly, tilt and turn double glazed windows have an extra hinge. Enhanced security is the result, because to allow a fresh breeze to enter the room, they can be locked firmly into position when only partly open.

There are also available options for double glazing sash windows for a more traditional appearance that are suitable for a period house in Hassocks. These can be single hung, where just one sash is moveable, or double hung, where both of the sashes can be slid open. Sash windows weren't recognised for their energy efficiency in the past, but nowadays there's very little between the thermal losses of sash and casement windows, as contemporary double glazing models have lessened this problem.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

You might have pondered the possibility of fitting a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a cat. This can be a brilliant way to give your cat the freedom to enter and leave the house as they please, without you having to continually open and shut the door.

Once a cat flap has been chosen, a specialist cat flap installer should be contacted. They will visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space for the cat flap installation. They can also advise you on the best sort of cat flap for your needs.

The cat flap fitter will order a new double-glazed unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap to ensure correct installation and maintain the unit's integrity.

The cat flap fitter will return to your home in Hassocks to install the new double-glazed unit once it has been delivered. This involves removing the old double glazing unit and installing the new one. The cat flap specialist then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double-glazed unit, thereby preserving the unit's integrity and ensuring proper installation.
