Norwich Double Glazed Windows & Doors

Double Glazing Norwich Norfolk (NR1): Double glazing can reduce noise, boost security and increase your home's energy efficiency. The term double glazing essentially relates to the method of making these windows using 2 panes of glass, with a gas layer trapped between them (usually argon). Because it behaves like insulation, this inert gas provides a home with tremendous sound proofing and thermal qualities.

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

Double Glazing Norwich Norfolk (NR1)

Condensation takes place when small gaps appear in the seal around the glass, and heated air from inside the property finds its way into the gap between the panes. As the heated air comes into contact with the colder external pane of glass, moisture is formed, with condensation being the result. If this is a regular occurrence, particularly in winter time, you could either have the sealed unit replaced, or get replacement double glazing.

If your Norwich property has single glazing, upgrading to double glazing will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. The upgrade to double glazed windows may also help to raise the value of your property when you opt to sell.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazed casement windows are hinged on one side only. This allows for easier cleaning and also gives plenty of airflow during the summer months. If security is crucial to you, double glazed casement windows are also made of a tilt and turn layout. Enabling them to open a small amount, tilt and turn windows have an additional hinge. This adds more security as they can be locked in position when only partially open to enable cool air to flow into the room.

To complement an older or period home in Norwich, there are also options for double glazed sash windows with a traditional look. These can be double hung, where both sashes can be slid open, or single hung, where just one pane slides. During the past sash windows were not known for being energy efficient, but modern day double glazing designs have reduced this problem and today there is pretty much nothing between sash windows and casement windows with respect to thermal loss.
