Double Glazing Hawick

Hawick Double Glazed Windows & Doors

Double Glazing Hawick Scotland (TD9): Installing double glazing will help to boost security, reduce noise and enhance the energy efficiency of your Hawick home. These windows are manufactured using a double layer of glass with a gas layer, generally argon, trapped between them, hence the term 'double glazing'. Acting as an insulating material, this gas delivers outstanding thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home or property.

If you already have older double glazed windows in your house in Hawick but are dealing with issues, like draughts or condensation between the glass panes, the time may have come to think about swapping your windows.

Double Glazing Hawick Scotland (TD9)

Condensation is caused by a hole developing in the sealed unit and enabling warm air from inside the home to get into the gap between the panes. As the cooler external glass pane comes into contact with the warm air, moisture is formed as condensation. If this happens regularly the time may have come to upgrade your current windows.

If your Hawick property currently has windows with single glazing, changing to double glazing will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing. Making the upgrade to double glazed windows may also help to improve you home's value when you decide to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazed casement windows are hinged on one side only. This permits easier cleaning and also gives ample airflow during the summer months. They're also available in a tilt and turn set up which adds an extra degree of security where necessary. The addition of a supplementary hinge allows tilt and turn windows to be opened to a limited degree. This adds extra security because they can be locked into position when partly open to allow for a cool breeze to enter the room.

To complement an older or period property in Hawick, you can also purchase double glazing sash windows with a more traditional look. These can be bought in both single hung and double hung versions, where either one or both sashes can be slid open. Sash windows were not known for their energy efficiency in past times, but nowadays there is pretty much nothing between the thermal loss of casement and sash windows, as contemporary double glazed models have lessened this problem.

Another alternative may be a bay window, which will look great and help to bring a feeling of space to even the most modest of rooms. If your Hawick property has an existing bay window, replacing it with a double glazed equivalent shouldn't be too much of a problem. Bay windows bring lots of style and character to a home, but the main benefit is the amount of light that they allow 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.

The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows in Hawick

Double glazing can improve the energy efficiency of your home by keeping the warm air inside and preventing cold from entering. Studies have shown that up to 50% of heat is lost through doors and windows. The insulating properties of double glazing can reduce this loss by up to 81%. This means that your home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, and you can reduce your energy bill accordingly. Additionally, double glazing can help to reduce noise pollution, as thicker windows will reduce noise from busy roads, airports, and other sources.

In addition, double-glazed windows are very good at controlling temperature, making them ideal for both summers and winters. Double glazing also traps cold air, which means that you can use less air conditioning in the summer and lower your air conditioning bills. Choosing windows with an A-rated energy-efficient label can reduce your annual energy bills by around £250.

Another great benefit of double glazing is that it helps a home retain warmth from the sun. This will reduce your heating and air conditioning costs in the winter and keep your home cooler during summer. This will help you save on your energy bill, as well as save on your carbon footprint. So if you are looking for a better way to reduce energy costs, installing double glazing is a smart move.

Double glazing can also increase the value of your home. Many homebuyers look for properties that don't require extensive renovation. It can also reduce noise levels, which are important to homeowners who want to sell their home.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

If you own a cat, you have possibly considered fitting a cat flap to your double glazing. This is a great way to let your cat come and go as they wish, without you having to keep opening and closing the door for them.

Installing a cat flap in double glazing isn't a do-it-yourself job, so it is important to keep this in mind. This is a complex procedure that requires specialised equipment and tools. If you do not have experience in this sort of work, it is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter.

The cat flap fitter will return to your home in Hawick to install the new double glazing unit once it has been delivered.
