It might be time to consider updating your windows, if you've already got older style double glazed windows in your house in Shoreham-by-Sea but are living with problems, like draughts or condensation between the panels.

Double Glazing Shoreham-by-Sea West Sussex (BN43)

When a small gap develops in the sealed unit, heated air from inside the house enters into the space between the panes and causes condensation. Moisture forms as the warmer air comes into contact with the cooler exterior glass pane, which means that you've got a condensation issue. If this is a regular occurrence, particularly during the winter season, you could either have the sealed unit replaced, or get replacement double glazing.

Changing to double glazed units will result in an immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside sounds, if your house in Shoreham-by-Sea has currently got single glazed windows. Upgrading to double glazed windows could also add more value to your property, which of course will be advantageous when you eventually elect to sell up and relocate.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

To find windows that match your choice of style and complement your home, you should hire an experienced double glazing fitter in the Shoreham-by-Sea area.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazing casement windows have hinges on one side. This permits easier cleaning and also gives plenty of airflow during the summer months. Casement windows can also be arranged into a tilt and turn design for additional security. Tilt and turn windows have a supplementary hinge to be able to open slightly. Increased security is the result, because to allow cool air to enter the room, they can be locked into position when only partly open.

Double glazing sash windows with a more tradition look can be purchased to match older and period properties in Shoreham-by-Sea. There are single hung styles where just one sash can be slid open, and double hung models, where both sashes are moveable. The sash windows of yesteryear had a reputation for poor standard of energy efficiency, but this issue has been largely lessened with contemporary double glazing models, and when it comes to thermal losses, there's very little difference between casement and sash windows today.

Helping to bring a sense of space to a room, bay windows look fantastic. If your Shoreham-by-Sea home has a bay window already, exchanging it for a double glazed equivalent should not be a problem. The amount of light that it lets into a room, is the good thing about a bay window, and it's a great place to have a window seat installed if you have a deep sill on the inside.

Double Glazing Quotes in Shoreham-by-Sea West Sussex

Today's double glazing units can be produced in virtually any colour by using uPVC materials. For a classic look you could also have timber frames, or for a more modern feel even opt for aluminium double glazing. Aluminium frames no longer have to be a grey, dull and rather bland looking frame for your double glazing, and can readily be coloured to suit your house.

All modern double glazed windows should display the CE approval mark. This is proof of the quality of the glass and of the frame and the mark should be plainly visible inside the sealed glass unit and on the frame. All doors and windows produced in Great Britain and within Europe, must display the CE logo. If CE approved materials are not used by your Shoreham-by-Sea double glazing specialist, they might be using poor quality components and made using less rigorous specifications. Although these may be acceptable for many uses, it is best to demand only using double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a guarantee.
