Double Glazing Westerham

Double Glazing Westerham Kent (TN16): You can reduce noise, increase your home's energy efficiency and improve security through the installation of double glazing. Double glazing refers to the method of making the window using 2 panes of glass with a gas layer, typically argon, trapped between them. As it behaves like an insulating material, this gas provides a property or home with excellent sound proofing and thermal qualities.

If your home in Westerham is already fitted with older double glazed windows, and you're dealing with problems like condensation or draughts, now would be a good time to get some new replacement double glazing to bring your premises back to 21st century standards.

An immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing will be experienced if your home in Westerham currently has windows with single glazing and you swap the for double glazed units. The upgrade to double glazing could also help to improve your property's value if you opt to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

By using a specialist double glazing installer in Westerham, you should be able to find windows that both match the style of your choice and enhance your house perfectly. Whether you are searching for contemporary patio doors and casement windows, or traditional sash windows for an older house in Westerham, double glazing units can be found in an array of colours, materials and sizes to suit your needs.

Double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side and can open outwards or inwards. This provides a good amount of airflow in the summer season and enables easier cleaning. Tilt and turn casement windows are also available for use where security is vital. The addition of an extra hinge allows tilt and turn windows to be opened to a limited degree. This adds extra security because they can be locked securely in place when only partially open to permit a fresh breeze to flow into the room.

For that classic look to suit a period property in Westerham, there are double glazing sash windows available. These can be bought in both single hung and double hung designs, where either one or both sashes are able to move. Sash windows were not renowned for their energy efficiency in past times, but today there's practically nothing between the thermal losses of sash and casement windows, as modern day double glazed models have alleviated this issue.

Bay windows look awesome and can bring a sense of space to a room. If your property in Westerham has already got bay windows, they can fairly easily be replaced with double glazed equivalents. 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 inside, it's a great place to have a window seat installed.

Due to the development uPVC materials, pretty much any colour is possible in today's double glazing frames. You can also have timber frames for a traditional feel, or aluminium for a more modern effect. Modern day aluminium windows can easily be coloured to suit your house and no longer have to be a bland, grey and rather dull looking frame for your double glazing.

You must be able to find the CE mark on any modern double glazing that is installed in Westerham homes. This mark verifies the quality of both the frame and the glass, and should be visible on the frame and inside the sealed glass panel. For all doors and windows made in Great Britain and within Europe, the CE logo is a necessary requirement. If your Westerham double glazing firm doesn't use CE approved materials they could perhaps be made using less stringent production standards and low quality materials. It is best to always insist on only using products that come with a CE approval and are backed up with a warranty.

Have you considered putting in a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a cat? This can be a brilliant way to give your cat the freedom to enter and leave the house as they please, without you having to continually open and shut the door.

Once a cat flap has been chosen, a professional cat flap fitter should be contacted. They'll visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space for the cat flap installation. They can also advise you on the best sort of cat flap for your needs.

The cat flap fitter will then order a new double-glazed unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap. This will make certain that the cat flap is installed correctly and that the integrity of the double-glazed unit is not compromised.

Once the new double-glazed unit has arrived, the cat flap fitter will revisit your home in Westerham to install it. This involves removing the old double-glazed unit and replacing it with the new one. The cat flap fitter then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double glazing unit.

To ensure the cat flap's proper operation, the cat flap fitter will test it and demonstrate its settings and usage. (47902 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
