Condensation in the gap between the glass panes is caused when gaps develop in the sealed unit and heated air enters from inside the home. As the heated air makes contact with the colder external glass pane, moisture forms, with condensation being the result. If this is happening frequently, particularly during the winter, you can either replace the sealed unit, or get replacement double glazing.

If your Radcliffe property currently has windows with single glazing, upgrading to double glazed units will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing. You could also raise the value of your home (when you elect to sell), by upgrading to double glazed windows.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazed casement windows are hinged on one side only. This permits easier cleaning and also gives plenty of airflow during the summer months. Tilt and turn casement windows can also be purchased for use when security is important. Tilt and turn double glazed windows have an extra hinge to be able to open slightly. As they can be locked into position when only partially open to allow for a cool breeze to enter the room, the security is enhanced.

For a more traditional look to enhance a period property in Radcliffe, there are double glazed sash windows on offer. There are double hung designs where both panes are moveable, and single hung designs where just one sash slides.

Due to the development of modern uPVC materials, virtually any colour is possible in today's double glazing frames. For a classic look you could also have wooden frames, or for that contemporary feel even opt for aluminium double glazing.

You should be able to spot the CE mark displayed on any modern double glazed frames that are fitted in Radcliffe homes.
