Double Glazing Tenterden

Double Glazing Tenterden Kent (TN30): The installation of double glazing in your home in Tenterden, will increase your home's energy efficiency, reduce noise levels and improve security. Double glazing describes the way a window is made using twin panes of glass with a gas layer, typically argon, between them. As it acts like an insulating material, this inert gas provides a property with excellent sound proofing and thermal qualities.

It might be time to look at swapping your windows, if you've already got older double glazing in your house in Tenterden but have been having problems, like condensation between the panes or draughts.

Immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing will be experienced if your home in Tenterden currently has single glazing and you switch to double glazing. Upgrading to double glazing could also add more value to your home, which will obviously be a benefit should you eventually decide to sell up and relocate.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

You can find a professional installer in the Tenterden area who will be able to source windows to match the style of your choice, and that perfectly complement your home. From contemporary patio doors and casement windows to period sash windows for older properties, double glazed units are available in a variety of colours, sizes and materials.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side. This provides a good amount of airflow in the summer months and enables easier cleaning. If security is vital to you, double glazed casement windows are also available in a tilt and turn pattern. The addition of a supplementary hinge allows tilt and turn double glazed windows to open to a limited degree. Increased security is the result, because to let cool air to enter the room, they can be locked firmly in position when only partially open.

Double glazed sash windows with a traditional look can be purchased to match older or period houses in Tenterden. There are single hung styles where just one pane slides, and double hung models, where both panes slide. Sash windows weren't known for their energy efficiency in times past, but nowadays there is practically nothing between the thermal loss of sash and casement windows, as modern day double glazing designs have lessened this issue.

Helping to bring a sense of space to a room, bay windows look fabulous. If your Tenterden property has a bay window already, exchanging it for a double glazed equivalent shouldn't be an issue. The huge amount of light that it lets into a room, is the main advantage of a bay window, and it's a great place to have a window seat installed if you've got a deep sill on the inside.

With the use of uPVC materials, modern double glazing units can be made in pretty much any colour. It is also possible to have timber frames for a traditional feel, or aluminium double glazing for a somewhat more contemporary effect. Today's aluminium frames can easily be coloured to match your home and no longer have to be a bland, grey and rather dull looking frame for your windows.

All new double glazing that is fitted in homes in Tenterden must carry the CE approval mark. This CE mark should be plainly visible on the inside of the sealed glass panel and on the frame, and verifies the standard of both the frame and the glass.

If CE approved materials are not used by your double glazing firm in Tenterden, they may be using poor quality components and made using less stringent specifications. Although they might be acceptable for some uses, it's better to demand only using double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a guarantee.
