Double Glazing Northam

Northam Double Glazed Windows & Doors

Double Glazing Northam Devon (EX39): Putting in double glazing can help to reduce noise, boost security and increase the energy efficiency of your home in Northam. These windows are produced using twin panes of glass with a gas layer, normally argon, trapped between them, thus the expression 'double glazing'. Acting like an insulating material, this inert gas delivers effective sound proofing and thermal qualities for any home.

If you already have older style double glazed windows in your home in Northam but are dealing with problems, such as draughts or condensation between the panes, the time may have come to think about replacing your windows.

Double Glazing Northam Devon (EX39)

Condensation is caused by a hole appearing in the seal around the glass, enabling heated air from inside the house to get into the space between the glass panes. As the warm air makes contact with the colder external pane of glass, moisture forms, with condensation being the result. If this happens on a regular basis it's time to change your existing windows.

If your Northam property has single glazed windows, upgrading to double glazed units will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing. Upgrading to double glazing can also add extra value to your property, which of course will be an advantage if you eventually choose to sell up and move.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

You can find a specialist installer in the Northam area who'll be able to match the style of window of your choice, and that complements your property.

Having hinges on one side, double glazed casement windows can be made to open outwards or inwards depending on the design. This delivers ample airflow in the summer months and enables easier cleaning. Tilt and turn casement windows can also be purchased for use when security is an important issue. The addition of a supplementary hinge permits tilt and turn double glazed windows to open to a limited degree. Improved security is the result, because to let cool air to enter the room, they can be locked firmly in place when only partly open.

Double glazing sash windows with a traditional appearance can be purchased to match older or period houses in Northam. There are single hung designs where just one pane slides, and double hung styles, where both sashes slide. Sash windows weren't recognised for being energy efficient during the past, but today there's practically nothing between the thermal losses of sash and casement windows, as modern day double glazed models have reduced this issue.

An alternative may be a bay window, which looks fantastic and helps to bring a sense of space to even the smallest of rooms. If your house in Northam already has bay windows, it should not be too difficult to replace them with comparable double glazed frames. Bay windows bring lots of character and style to a home, but the main advantage is the quantity of light that they let into a room. An additional benefit is being able to put in a useful window seat, if the sill is deep enough on the inside of the window.

Through the use of uPVC materials, modern day double glazed window frames can be made in almost any colour. For a traditional look you could also have timber frames, or for a more contemporary feel even choose aluminium frames. Aluminium windows no longer have to be a grey, dull and rather bland looking frame for your double glazing, and can easily be coloured to suit your property.

You should be able to spot the CE mark on any modern double glazed frames that are installed in Northam homes. This proves the standard of the frame and the glass and the mark should be visible on the inside of the sealed glass panel and on the frame. For all doors and windows manufactured in Great Britain and within Europe, the CE logo is a necessary requirement. If CE approved materials are not used by your Northam double glazing company, they could be using inferior components and made using less rigorous standards. Although these lower quality frames may be adequate in some situations, you should always insist on guaranteed products with CE approval for your home in Northam.

Once you're happy with a quoted price, and have made a decision on which company in Northam to hire, your brand new double glazed windows and doors will be made-to-order at the factory. The manufacturing process could take anything from several days to a few weeks, and is going to be determined by the opening options, the number of windows and doors you require, your frame type and the design of window. An installation time frame will be established between the company and you, which should include provision for planning permission applications when necessary.
