Double Glazing Poulton

Double Glazing Poulton Lancashire (FY6): You can increase your home's energy efficiency, reduce noise levels and improve security by installing double glazing. Double glazing describes the way a window is made using a double layer of glass with a gas layer, generally argon, trapped between them. Because it acts like an insulating material, this gas provides a home with excellent sound proofing and thermal qualities.

If you have already got older style double glazed windows in your house in Poulton but are faced with problems, like condensation between the panels or draughts, the time may have come to think about replacing your windows.

Immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises will be noticed if your property in Poulton currently has windows with single glazing and you switch to double glazed units. Upgrading to double glazed windows may also add more value to your property, which will obviously be advantageous should you eventually elect to sell up.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

You can find a specialist window fitter in the Poulton area who will be able to match the style of window of your choice, and one that complements your property. Double glazing units can be bought in a wide range of materials, sizes and colours, to suit period sash windows for older houses, to contemporary casement windows and patio doors.

Hinged on one side, double glazing casement windows can open outwards or inwards depending on their design. This means that they're easily cleaned, and offer the possibility of a good amount of airflow during the summertime. For more security, casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn design. Permitting them to open a small amount, tilt and turn windows have an additional hinge. This adds extra security as they can be locked securely in place when only partially open to allow for a fresh breeze to enter the room.

There are also options available for double glazing sash windows for a more traditional appearance that are suitable for a period home in Poulton. These can be double hung, where both of the sashes can be opened, or single hung, where only one sash moves. In past times sash windows were not known for their energy efficiency, but modern double glazed designs have alleviated this problem and now there's virtually nothing between sash and casement windows with regards to thermal losses.

Helping to bring a sense of space to a room, bay windows look fantastic. If your property in Poulton has already got a bay window, it can fairly easily be replaced with an equivalent double glazed unit. The amount of light that it lets into a room, is the main benefit of a bay window, and it is the ideal place to have a window seat installed if you've got a deep sill on the inside.

With the development of modern uPVC materials, just about any colour is possible in today's double glazed window frames. For a more contemporary feel you could pick aluminium double glazing, or for the traditional look - timber frames. Aluminium units no longer have to be a dull, grey and bland looking frame for your windows, and can readily be coloured to suit your property.

All double glazing installed today should display the CE approval mark. This CE mark should be plainly visible on the inside of the sealed glass panel and on the frame, and is proof of the standard of both the glass and the frame itself. The CE logo is a necessary requirement for all doors and windows made in the United Kingdom and within Europe. If your Poulton double glazing company doesn't use CE approved materials they could be made using less stringent production standards and low quality materials. It's better to always demand that the company only uses double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed up with a guarantee.
