Double Glazing Otley

Double Glazing Otley West Yorkshire (LS21): Installing double glazing will help to reduce noise levels, boost security and increase the energy efficiency of your home in Otley. Double glazing refers to the way a window is made using a double layer of glass with a gas filled medium, normally argon, between them. Acting as insulation, this gas provides impressive sound proofing and thermal qualities for any property or home.

If your house in Otley is already fitted with older style double glazed windows, and you are experiencing issues such as draughts or condensation, it might be a good idea to now get new replacement double glazing to bring your premises back to 21st century standards.

If your Otley property currently has single glazing, the switch to double glazed units will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing. The upgrade to double glazed windows can also help to boost the value of your home should you choose to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

To obtain double glazed windows that satisfy your choice of style and match your home, you can hire an experienced double glazing fitter in the Otley area. Double glazing units can be found in a wide range of sizes, materials and colours, to match contemporary casement windows and patio doors to traditional sash windows for older homes.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazing casement windows are hinged on one side only. This delivers plenty of airflow in the summer months and enables easier cleaning. They're also available in a tilt and turn arrangement which adds an extra degree of security where necessary. Tilt and turn windows have a supplementary hinge to be able to open slightly. Enhanced security results, because to allow a cool breeze to flow into the room, they can be locked in position when partially open.

To complement a period home in Otley, there are also options available for double glazing sash windows with a traditional look. There are double hung versions where both of the sashes can be moved, and single hung designs where just one pane slides. In the past sash windows were not noted for being energy efficient, but contemporary double glazing designs have lessened this issue and now there's pretty much nothing between sash windows and casement windows when it comes to thermal losses.

Bay windows look wonderful and can bring a sense of space to a room. If your Otley home has an existing bay window, replacing it with a double glazed equivalent should not be too difficult. Bay windows bring plenty of style and character to a property, however the main benefit is the huge amount of light that they allow to flood into a room. A further plus point is having the opportunity to install a window seat, if a deep sill exists on the interior side of the window.

With the development of modern uPVC materials, almost any colour you desire is possible in today's double glazing units. It is also possible to have timber frames for a classic feel, or aluminium double glazing for a more contemporary look. Readily coloured to match your home, aluminium frames no longer have to be a dull, grey and bland like they were in the 1970s and 80s.

All new double glazed frames must display the CE approval mark. This mark is proof of the standard of both the glass and the frame, and should be plainly visible on the frame and on the inside of the sealed glass unit. All doors and windows made in the United Kingdom and within Europe, must display the CE logo. Ensure that your Otley double glazing company is using CE approved materials in the manufacture of it's doors and windows, or else they may be made to less stringent standards and using inferior components and materials.
