Double Glazing London Colney

London Colney Double Glazed Windows & Doors

Double Glazing London Colney Hertfordshire (AL4): Putting in double glazing can help to boost security, reduce noise and enhance the energy efficiency of your home in London Colney. These windows are manufactured using twin panes of glass with a gas filled layer, normally argon, between them, hence the expression 'double glazing'. As it behaves like an insulating material, this inert gas provides a property or home with tremendous sound proofing and thermal qualities.

The time might have come to think about upgrading your windows, if you've already got older double glazing in your property in London Colney but are dealing with issues, such as condensation between the panels or draughts.

Double Glazing London Colney Hertfordshire (AL4)

Condensation occurs when small gaps appear in the seal around the glass, and heated air from inside the house is allowed to enter the gap between the window panes. As the heated air makes contact with the colder external glass pane, moisture forms, with condensation being the result. If this is a regular occurrence, particularly during the wintertime, you could either replace the sealed unit, or get replacement windows.

If your London Colney property has single glazed windows, changing to double glazing will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. You may also boost you home's value (when you opt to sell), by upgrading to double glazing.

DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

To obtain windows that match your choice of style and complement your home, you should use a competent double glazing fitter in the London Colney area.

Double glazing casement windows are hinged to one side and can be made to open outwards or inwards. This means they are easily cleaned, and offer the possibility of adequate airflow during the summertime. Casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn window for extra security. Allowing them to open a small amount, tilt and turn windows have a supplementary hinge. Because they can be locked firmly in place when only partially open to allow for a cool breeze to flow into the room, the security is much better.

To suit an older or period home in London Colney, you can also purchase double glazed sash windows with a more traditional appearance. There are single hung designs where only one pane can be slid open, and double hung versions, where both of the sashes slide. During the past sash windows were not noted for being energy efficient, but modern double glazed models have reduced this issue and today there is virtually nothing between casement windows and sash windows in terms of thermal losses.

Helping to bring a feeling of space to a room, bay windows look amazing. If you have an existing bay window it's feasible to replace it with an equivalent double glazed unit to keep the style. The advantage of a bay window is the amount of light it lets into a room, and if you've got a sill that is sufficiently deep on the interior side, it makes for a perfect place to have a window seat installed.

Double Glazing Quotes in London Colney Hertfordshire

Modern day double glazing frames can be made in pretty much any colour you desire through the use of uPVC materials. For a traditional look you can also have wooden frames, or for a more modern feel even opt for aluminium. Aluminium frames no longer have to be a dull, grey and rather bland looking frame for your double glazing, and can readily be coloured to blend in with your home.

All new double glazing must come with a CE approval mark. This CE mark is proof of the quality of both the glass and the frame, and should be plainly visible on the frame and inside the sealed glass panel. All windows and doors made in Britain and within Europe, must be marked with the CE logo. If your double glazing company in London Colney doesn't use CE approved components they may be manufactured using less stringent production standards and cheaper materials. Even though they might be acceptable for many uses, it is better to demand only using double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a guarantee.
