Double Glazing Thatcham Berkshire (RG18)

When a small gap appears in the sealed unit, warm air from inside the property can enter the space between the panes and causes condensation. Moisture forms as the heated air comes into contact with the cooler outside glass pane, with the result that you have a condensation problem. If this is a regular occurrence, particularly during the winter, you could either replace the sealed unit, or get brand new windows.

An immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing will be seen if your property in Thatcham has single glazed windows and you switch to double glazing. You could also enhance the value of your home (when you elect to sell), by upgrading to double glazing.

Double glazing casement windows have hinges on one side and can open outwards or inwards. This enables easier cleaning and also gives ample airflow during the summer months. If security is crucial to you, double glazed casement windows are also available in a tilt and turn pattern. The addition of an extra hinge allows tilt and turn windows to open to a limited degree. As they can be locked in position when only partially open to allow for cool air to flow into the room, the security is much better.

Double glazed sash windows with a more tradition appearance can be purchased to match older or period homes in Thatcham. There are single hung designs where just one pane can be slid open, and double hung models, where both panes slide. Sash windows were not renowned for their energy efficiency in past times, but nowadays there's pretty much nothing between the thermal loss of sash and casement windows, as modern double glazed models have reduced this issue.

An alternative might be a bay window, which looks amazing and helps to bring a feeling of space to even the most modest of rooms. If your Thatcham property has a bay window already, exchanging it for an equivalent double glazed frame should not be too much of an issue. The amount of light that it allows 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.

With the development uPVC materials, virtually any colour is possible in today's double glazing window frames. It is also possible to have timber frames for a classic look, or aluminium frames for a somewhat more contemporary feel. Modern day aluminium windows can be coloured to suit your home and no longer have to be a dull, grey and bland looking frame for your windows.

This is proof of the quality of the frame and of the glass and the CE mark should be plainly visible on the inside of the sealed glass unit and on the frame. For all windows and doors produced in the UK and the EU, the CE logo is a necessity. Make certain that your Thatcham double glazing specialist is using CE approved materials in the manufacture of it's windows, otherwise they might be made to less rigorous standards and with poor quality materials and components. Although these poorer quality products may be OK in certain situations, you should always insist on guaranteed products with CE approval for your home in Thatcham.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

You might have pondered the possibility of fitting a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a cat. This can be a wonderful way to give your cat the freedom to enter and exit the house as they wish, without you having to continuously open and close the door again and again.

It's important to be aware, however, that installing a cat flap in double glazing isn't a DIY task. This is a complex process that requires specialised tools and equipment. Unless you are experienced in this type of work, it is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter.
