Condensation is caused by a small gap appearing in the seal around the glass, permitting warmer air from inside the home to get into the space between the window panes. Moisture forms as the heated air makes contact with the colder exterior pane of glass, which means that you have a condensation issue.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side. This enables easier cleaning and also gives ample airflow during the summer. For additional security, casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn design. Allowing them to be opened slightly, tilt and turn windows have an extra hinge. Enhanced security results, because to allow cool air to flow into the room, they can be locked firmly in position when partially open.

There are also options available for double glazed sash windows for a more traditional look that are suitable for a period house in Walkden. These can be single hung, where just one pane is moveable, or double hung, where both panes can be slid open.
