Double Glazing Longbenton Tyne and Wear (NE12)

Condensation occurs in the gap between the glass panes when gaps develop in the seal around the glass and warm air enters from inside the house. As the cooler exterior glass pane makes contact with the heated air, moisture droplets form as condensation. If this is happening frequently, especially in winter time, you can either have the sealed unit replaced, or get replacement double glazed windows.

If your Longbenton property currently has single glazing, the switch to double glazed units will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing. Upgrading to double glazed windows may also add more value to your home, which will obviously be advantageous if you later choose to sell up and move.

Hinged on one side, double glazed casement windows can be made to open inwards or outwards depending on their design. This enables easier cleaning and also gives a good amount of airflow during the summer. Casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn design for more security. Permitting them to be opened slightly, tilt and turn windows have an extra hinge. Enhanced security is the result, because to let cool air to enter the room, they can be locked firmly in position when only partly open.

To complement a period house in Longbenton, you can also buy double glazing sash windows with a traditional appearance. These can be double hung, where both panes can be slid open, or single hung, where just one sash is moveable. In past times sash windows were not known for being energy efficient, but modern double glazed designs have lessened this issue and now there's pretty much nothing between casement and sash windows with respect to thermal losses.

Modern double glazing frames can be produced in virtually any colour by using uPVC materials. For a more modern feel you could opt for aluminium, or for the classic look - wooden frames.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

If you own a cat, you have possibly considered fitting a cat flap to 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 close the door for them.

However, it's important to be aware that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a DIY job, and that the services of a specialist should be sought. This complex process cannot be completed without specialist tools and equipment. If you lack experience in this sort of work, it is advisable to hire a professional cat flap fitter.

How to install a cat flap in double glazing:

The first step is to choose a cat flap that is the right size for your cat and has the features you need. There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, so you can choose one that is the best fit for your needs. Some features you might want to consider include a lock or a microchip reader. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock to prevent other animals from entering your home, or a cat flap with a microchip reader to allow only your cat to enter your home.

Once you have chosen a cat flap, you need to contact a specialist cat flap fitter. They'll come to your home to assess the situation and to measure the space where the cat flap will be installed. They will also be able to advise you on the best sort of cat flap for your needs.

The cat flap fitter will then order a new double-glazed unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap. This will make certain that the cat flap is installed correctly and that the integrity of the double glazing unit is not compromised.

After the new double glazing unit is delivered, the cat flap fitter will return to your home in Longbenton 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-glazed unit.

To ensure the cat flap's proper operation, the flap fitter will test it and demonstrate its settings and usage. (47902 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
