Double Glazing Sunbury-on-Thames Surrey (TW16): You can increase your home's energy efficiency, improve security and reduce noise through the installation of double glazing. These windows are manufactured using twin panes of glass with a gas filled layer, normally argon, between them, hence the term 'double glazing'. This inert gas acts as insulation and delivers incredible sound proofing and thermal qualities for any home in Sunbury-on-Thames.
If you've already got older double glazing in your house in Sunbury-on-Thames but are faced with issues, such as draughts or condensation between the panels, the time might have come to think about replacing your windows.
When small gaps develop in the sealed unit, warm air from inside the house can enter the space between the panes and causes condensation. Moisture forms as the heated air makes contact with the colder external pane of glass, with the result that you've got a condensation issue. If this is happening frequently, especially during the winter, you could either have the sealed unit replaced, or get replacement double glazing.
If your Sunbury-on-Thames property currently has windows with single glazing, changing to double glazing will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing. Upgrading to double glazing can also add extra value to your property, which of course will be an advantage when you eventually choose to sell up and relocate.
DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS
To find double glazed windows that match your choice of style and complement your home, you can use a specialist double glazing installer in the Sunbury-on-Thames area. Whether you are searching for traditional sash windows for an older home in Sunbury-on-Thames, or modern patio doors and casement windows, double glazing units are available in a whole host of colours, materials and sizes to suit your needs.
Having hinges on one side only, double glazing casement windows can be made to open outwards or inwards depending on the design. This gives ample airflow in the summertime and allows for easier cleaning. For additional security, casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn design. Allowing them to open slightly, tilt and turn double glazed windows have an additional hinge. As they can be locked in place when partly open to allow for cool air to enter the room, the security is improved.
To complement a period property in Sunbury-on-Thames, there are also options for double glazing sash windows with a more traditional appearance. There are single hung styles where only one sash can be slid open, and double hung styles, where both of the panes slide. In the past sash windows were not known for being energy efficient, but modern day double glazing models have alleviated this issue and nowadays there is virtually nothing between casement windows and sash windows when it comes to thermal losses.
An alternative might be a bay window, which looks amazing and helps to bring a sense of space to even the most modest of rooms. If your Sunbury-on-Thames property has a bay window already, replacing it with an equivalent double glazed frame should not be too much of a problem. The good thing about a bay window is the amount of light it allows into a room, and if you have a deep sill on the interior side, it is the perfect place to have a window seat installed.
Today's double glazing frames can be made in virtually any colour you desire by using uPVC materials. You can also have timber frames for a traditional feel, or aluminium double glazing for a somewhat more contemporary effect. Easily coloured to match your house, aluminium frames no longer have to be a bland, grey and dull as they were in the past.
All new double glazed windows should come with a CE approval mark. This proves the quality of the glass and the frame and the mark should be visible inside the sealed glass panel and on the frame. For all doors and windows made in the British Isles and within Europe, the CE logo is a necessary requirement. Make certain that your double glazing specialist in Sunbury-on-Thames is using CE approved materials for manufacturing it's windows and doors, otherwise they might be made to less rigorous standards and using substandard components and materials. Although these poorer quality frames may be okay in some circumstances, you should insist on guaranteed products that have CE approval for your home in Sunbury-on-Thames.
