Double Glazing Marchwood Hampshire (SO40): You can reduce noise, boost security and enhance your home's energy efficiency through the installation of double glazing. These windows are created using twin panes of glass with a gas layer, typically argon, between them, thus the expression 'double glazing'. As it behaves like insulation, this gas provides a home with effective sound proofing and thermal qualities.

Condensation in the gap between the panes occurs when a a small hole appears in the sealed unit and warmer air enters from inside the home. As the warm air makes contact with the colder exterior pane of glass, moisture forms, with condensation as the result. If this is happening frequently it's time to upgrade your existing windows.

If your Marchwood property currently has single glazed windows, changing to double glazing will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing. The upgrade to double glazing could also help to boost you home's value if you choose to sell.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side. This means that they're easier to clean, and offer the possibility of adequate airflow during the summer season. If security is vital to you, casement windows can also be purchased in a tilt and turn style. Permitting them to open slightly, tilt and turn double glazed windows have a supplementary hinge. Enhanced security is the result, because to allow a fresh breeze to enter the room, they can be locked firmly in place when only partially open.

There are also options available for double glazed sash windows for a more traditional appearance that are suitable for a period property in Marchwood. These are available in both single hung and double hung designs, where either one or both sashes can slide. Sash windows were not noted for being energy efficient in the past, but today there is practically nothing between the thermal loss of sash and casement windows, as modern day double glazing designs have reduced this issue.

Another alternative may be a bay window, which will look fabulous and help to bring a sense of space to even the smallest 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 character and style to a property, however the main advantage is the amount of light that they allow into a room. An extra benefit is being able to install a window seat, if a deep sill exists on the interior side of the window.

Double Glazing Quotes in Marchwood Hampshire

Due to the development of modern uPVC materials, virtually any colour you desire is possible in today's double glazing window frames. For a classic look you could also have wooden frames, or for a more contemporary feel even go with aluminium double glazing. Contemporary aluminium units 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 double glazed windows installed today must come with a CE approval mark. This mark proves the quality 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 manufactured in Britain and within Europe, the CE logo is a necessity. If CE approved materials aren't used by your Marchwood double glazing firm, they might be using inferior components and made using less stringent standards. It is always best to demand that the company only uses double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a warranty or guarantee.

The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows in Marchwood

Double glazing can improve the energy efficiency of your home by keeping the warm air inside and preventing cold from entering. Studies have shown that up to 50% of heat is lost through doors and windows. The insulating properties of double glazing can reduce this loss by up to 81%. This means that your home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, and you can reduce your energy bill accordingly. Additionally, double glazing can help to reduce noise pollution, as thicker windows will reduce noise from busy roads, airports, and other sources.

In addition, double-glazed windows are very good at controlling temperature, making them ideal for both summers and winters. Double glazing also traps cold air, which means that you can use less air conditioning in the summer and lower your air conditioning bills. Choosing windows with an A-rated energy-efficient label can reduce your annual energy bills by around £250.

Condensation is a serious problem in a home. Excess moisture that accumulates on windows and doors can lead to mould and rot, affecting the house's value as well as the health of its occupants. When condensation gets worse, it can also damage the foundations of your home. To solve this problem, you should invest in double glazing for your home.

Another benefit of double glazing is that it is more difficult to break or force open from the outside. This increases the safety level of your home and discourages burglars from breaking in. Moreover, double-glazed windows also reduce the effects of excessive heat on furnishings. Since your furnishings are better protected, your home will have a higher selling price.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

Have you considered putting in a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a cat? This can be a brilliant way to give your cat the freedom to enter and leave the house as they please, without you having to continually open and shut the door.

It's important to be aware that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a do-it-yourself job, and that a professional should be hired to carry out the work. Specialist tools and equipment are needed for this complex procedure. It is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter if you do not have the necessary experience for this sort of work.

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. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock or a microchip reader.

After choosing a cat flap, you need to contact a specialist 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.

To preserve the double glazing unit's integrity and ensure the cat flap's proper installation, the cat flap installer will order a new double-glazed unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap.

Once the new double-glazed unit has arrived, the cat flap fitter will revisit your home in Marchwood to install it. This involves removing the old double glazing unit and replacing it with the new one. The cat flap specialist then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double-glazed unit.
