Double Glazing Kinross Scotland (KY13): You can increase your home's energy efficiency, reduce noise levels and improve security by installing double glazing. The term double glazing essentially refers to the method of making these windows using 2 panes of glass, with a gas filled medium trapped between them (commonly argon). This inert gas acts as an insulating material and provides impressive thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home or property in Kinross.

The time might have come to think about replacing your windows, if you've already got older style double glazing in your home in Kinross but are living with issues, like draughts or condensation between the glass panes.

Double Glazing Kinross Scotland (KY13)

Condensation is caused by a small gap developing in the seal around the glass, permitting warmer air from inside the property to enter the space between the panes. As the heated air makes contact with the colder outside pane of glass, moisture is formed, with condensation as the result. If this is a regular occurrence, especially during the winter season, you can either replace the sealed unit, or get brand new double glazed windows.

If your Kinross home currently has windows with single glazing, changing to double glazed units will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. The upgrade to double glazing may also help to raise your property's value should you choose to sell.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side. This enables easier cleaning and also delivers ample airflow during the summer. They're also available in a tilt and turn design which adds an added level of security where needed. The addition of an extra hinge enables tilt and turn double glazed windows to be opened to a limited degree. This adds more security as they can be locked securely in place when partially open to allow for cool air to enter the room.

To suit a period house in Kinross, there are also options for double glazed sash windows with a more traditional appearance. There are single hung versions where just one sash slides, and double hung models, where both panes are moveable. The sash windows of the past were renowned for their poor energy efficiency, but this problem has for the most part been reduced with modern day double glazed designs, and with regards to thermal loss, there is hardly any difference between casement and sash windows nowadays.

Bay windows look fantastic and can bring a sense of space to a room. If you've got an existing bay window it's feasible to change it for an equivalent double glazed unit to keep the style. The benefit of a bay window is the huge amount of light it allows into a room, and if you've got a sill that is sufficiently deep on the interior side, it's an ideal place to install a window seat.
