Double Glazing Sandhurst

Double Glazing Sandhurst Berkshire (GU47): Double glazed windows can increase your home's energy efficiency, boost security and reduce noise. These windows are created using twin panes of glass with a gas filled layer, generally argon, trapped between them, thus the term 'double glazing'. This gas acts as an insulating material and delivers outstanding thermal and sound proofing qualities for any property in Sandhurst.

If your house in Sandhurst is already fitted with older double glazed windows, and you're living with issues such as draughts or condensation, now would be a good time to get some new replacement double glazing to bring your property up-to-date.

If your Sandhurst home has single glazed windows, the switch to double glazed units will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. You could also raise the value of your property (if you choose to sell), by upgrading to double glazing.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

You should be able to find a specialist window installer in the Sandhurst area who will be able to source windows to match the style of your choice, and that perfectly complement your property. Double glazing units can be bought in a large selection of colours, materials and sizes, to suit contemporary casement windows and patio doors to period sash windows for older properties.

Having hinges on one side, double glazing casement windows can open inwards or outwards depending on the design. This means they are easier to clean, and can provide adequate airflow during the summer season. They are also available in a tilt and turn design which adds an added level of security where essential. Tilt and turn windows have a supplementary hinge to be able to open slightly. This adds more security because they can be locked in place when only partially open to permit a fresh breeze to flow into the room.

There are also available options for double glazed sash windows with a more traditional appearance to complement a period home in Sandhurst. There are single hung versions where only one pane slides, and double hung versions, where both of the sashes are moveable. In past times sash windows were not known for their energy efficiency, but contemporary double glazed models have reduced this problem and today there's practically nothing between casement and sash windows with respect to thermal loss.

An alternative might be a bay window, which looks great and helps to bring a feeling of space to even the smallest of rooms. If your Sandhurst property has an existing bay window, exchanging it for a double glazed equivalent should not be a problem. The benefit of a bay window is the quantity of light it allows into a room, and if you have a deep sill on the interior side, it is the ideal place to fit a window seat.

Modern day double glazing window frames can be manufactured in almost any colour you desire through the use of uPVC materials. It is also possible to have wooden frames for a classic look, or aluminium for a somewhat more modern feel. Aluminium frames no longer have to be a dull, grey and rather bland looking frame for your double glazing, and can easily be coloured to match your property.

You should be able to find the CE mark displayed on any new double glazing that is fitted in Sandhurst homes. This mark is proof of the quality of both the frame and the glass, and should be visible on the frame itself and inside the sealed glass panel. All doors and windows made in Great Britain and within Europe, must be marked with the CE logo. If CE approved materials aren't used by your Sandhurst double glazing company, they may be using poor quality components and making their doors and windows using less rigorous specifications. Although these poorer quality products may be adequate in some situations, you should always demand guaranteed products with CE approval for your property in Sandhurst.

The time frame for installation can then be arranged and will include the need for applying for planning permission if necessary.
