Double Glazing Sevenoaks

Double Glazing Sevenoaks Kent (TN13): The installation of double glazing will help to reduce noise levels, improve security and raise the energy efficiency of your home in Sevenoaks. These windows are made using 2 panes of glass with a gas layer, usually argon, between them, thus the expression 'double glazing'. As it acts like insulation, this inert gas provides a home with outstanding sound proofing and thermal qualities.

If your house in Sevenoaks already has older double glazed windows fitted, and you are faced with issues such as draughts or condensation between the panes, now would be a good time to get new replacement double glazing to get your building up-to-date.

If your Sevenoaks home currently has single glazed windows, changing to double glazed windows will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing. Upgrading to double glazing could also help to improve the value of your property when you decide to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

You can find an experienced window installer in the Sevenoaks area who will be able to source windows to match the style of your choice, and that perfectly complement your property. From modern casement windows and patio doors to period sash windows for older houses, double glazed units are available in a large selection of sizes, colours and materials.

Double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side and can be made to open inwards or outwards. This allows for easier cleaning and also provides plenty of airflow during the summer months. They are also available in a tilt and turn design which adds an added level of security where needed. Allowing them to be opened a small amount, tilt and turn double glazed windows have a supplementary hinge. This adds more security because they can be locked firmly into position when partially open to allow for a cool breeze to enter the room.

Double glazed sash windows with a traditional look can be purchased to complement older or period houses in Sevenoaks. There are single hung models where only one sash slides, and double hung versions, where both panes slide. The sash windows of the past were renowned for their poor standard of energy efficiency, but this issue has for the most part been reduced with modern double glazing models, and with regard to thermal loss, there is very little between sash and casement windows these days.

Helping to bring a sense of space to a room, bay windows look wonderful. If your property in Sevenoaks has already got a bay window, you could replace it with an equivalent double glazed unit. The advantage of a bay window is the amount of light it lets into a room, and if you have a deep sill on the inside, it's an ideal place to have a window seat installed.

With the development of modern uPVC materials, just about any colour is possible in today's double glazing window frames. It is also possible to have timber frames for a traditional feel, or aluminium for a somewhat more contemporary effect. Contemporary aluminium windows can easily be coloured to blend in with your house and no longer have to be a bland, grey and rather dull looking frame for your windows.

All new double glazed windows that are installed in homes in Sevenoaks must carry the CE approval mark. This is proof of the quality of the glass and the frame and the mark should be plainly visible inside the sealed glass panel and on the frame. For all windows and doors manufactured in the United Kingdom and within Europe, the CE logo is a legal requirement. Make sure that your double glazing firm in Sevenoaks is using CE approved materials for it's doors and windows, or else they could be made to less stringent standards and using poor quality materials and components. It's better to always insist that the company only uses products that come with a CE approval and are backed by a warranty.
