Double Glazing Holland-on-Sea Essex (CO15): You can reduce noise levels, increase your home's energy efficiency and boost security through the installation of double glazing. These windows are made using a double layer of glass with a gas filled layer, generally argon, trapped between them, hence the expression 'double glazing'. This gas acts as insulation and delivers outstanding thermal and sound proofing qualities for any property in Holland-on-Sea.
If your house in Holland-on-Sea already has older style double glazed windows fitted, and you are dealing with issues like condensation or draughts, it might be a good idea to now get some new replacement double glazing to get your premises up-to-date.
Condensation occurs in the gap between the window panes when holes appear in the seal around the glass and heated air enters from inside the home. Moisture forms as the warm air makes contact with the colder outside glass pane, with the result that you have a condensation issue. If this happens on a regular basis it's time to replace your existing windows.
If your Holland-on-Sea property currently has single glazed windows, the switch to double glazed units will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside sounds. You may also boost the value of your home (if you choose to sell), by upgrading to double glazing.
DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES
By hiring an experienced double glazing installer in Holland-on-Sea, you will be able obtain windows that match the style of your choice and complement your house beautifully. From period sash windows for older properties, to modern casement windows and patio doors, double glazed units are available in a large selection of sizes, colours and materials.
Having hinges on one side only, double glazing casement windows can open inwards or outwards depending on their design. This means they are easier to clean, and can provide ample airflow during the summertime. If security is important to you, casement windows also come in a tilt and turn pattern. Tilt and turn windows have a supplementary hinge to be able to open slightly. Because they can be locked in position when only partially open to allow for a fresh breeze to flow into the room, the security is increased.
To suit an older or period property in Holland-on-Sea, you can also buy double glazed sash windows with a more traditional appearance. These can be double hung, where both sashes can be opened, or single hung, where only one sash is moveable. The sash windows of the past were known for their poor energy efficiency, but this issue has for the most part been alleviated with contemporary double glazing models, and when it comes to thermal losses, there's hardly any difference between sash and casement windows today.
An alternative might be a bay window, which looks wonderful and helps to bring a feeling of space to even the most modest of rooms. If you have an existing bay window it's possible to replace it with a double glazed equivalent to maintain the style. Bay windows bring lots of style and character to a home, but the main advantage is the quantity of light that they allow into a room. Another plus point is being able to install a window seat, if the sill is deep enough on the interior side of the window.
Through the use of uPVC materials, modern day double glazed frames can be made in pretty much any colour. For a more contemporary feel you could choose aluminium frames, or for that classic look - wooden frames. Today's aluminium frames can easily be coloured to suit your property and no longer have to be a bland, grey and rather dull looking frame for your double glazing.
All modern double glazed frames that are fitted in homes in Holland-on-Sea should carry the CE approval mark. This CE mark verifies the standard of both the glass and the frame, and should be visible on the frame itself and inside the sealed glass unit. For all windows and doors made in Great Britain and within Europe, the CE logo is a requirement. If your double glazing firm in Holland-on-Sea doesn't use CE approved materials they could perhaps be manufactured using less rigorous production standards and substandard materials. Although these lower quality frames may be OK in certain situations, you should insist upon guaranteed double glazing with CE approval for your house in Holland-on-Sea.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing
If you're a cat owner, you've probably thought about fitting a cat flap in 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 shut the door for them.
However, it is worth noting that installing a cat flap in double glazing isn't a task that can be done by yourself. Specialist equipment and tools are needed for this complex process. It is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter if you do not have the necessary experience for this kind of work.
How to install a cat flap in double glazing:
The first step is to choose the right cat flap. There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, therefore it's important to choose one that is the right size for your cat and that has the features that you need. For example, you may want a cat flap with a microchip reader or a lock.
After choosing a cat flap, you need to contact a professional 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 provide you with advice on the best kind of cat flap for your needs.
The cat flap installer will order a new double glazing unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap, thereby ensuring proper installation and preserving the unit's integrity.
After the new double glazing unit is delivered, the cat flap fitter will return to your home in Holland-on-Sea to install it. This process 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 glazing unit.
The flap specialist will test the cat flap to ensure its proper functioning and demonstrate its settings and usage, providing you with the knowledge and confidence to operate the cat flap independently. (47902 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
