The time may have come to think about updating your windows, if you've already got older style double glazed windows in your property in Hersham but have been living with problems, such as condensation between the panels or draughts.

Double Glazing Hersham Surrey (KT12)

Condensation occurs in the gap between the panes when a a small hole appears in the seal around the glass and warmer air enters from inside the property. Moisture forms as the warmer air comes into contact with the cooler exterior glass pane, with the result that you have a condensation problem. It may be time to change your current windows, if this is occurring regularly.

If your Hersham property has single glazed windows, changing to double glazed units will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing. Upgrading to double glazing may also add extra value to your property, which of course will be advantageous if you later choose to sell up and relocate.

Having hinges on one side only, double glazing casement windows can open outwards or inwards depending on the design. This allows for easier cleaning and also provides a good amount of airflow during the summer months. For additional security, casement windows can also be arranged into a tilt and turn design. The addition of an extra hinge permits tilt and turn double glazed windows to be opened to a limited degree. This adds more security as they can be locked securely into position when partly open to permit a cool breeze to flow into the room.

To complement an older or period property in Hersham, there are also options available for double glazing sash windows with a more traditional appearance. These can be double hung, where both of the panes can be opened, or single hung, where just one sash slides. Sash windows weren't noted for being energy efficient in times past, but these days there's very little between the thermal loss of sash and casement windows, as contemporary double glazing models have reduced this problem.

Bay windows look awesome and can bring a sense of space to a room. If you have an existing bay window it's feasible to replace it with an equivalent double glazed unit to keep the style. The amount of light that it lets into a room, is the good thing about a bay window, and it makes for a perfect place to have a window seat installed if you have a deep sill on the inside.
