Double Glazing Whittlesey

Double Glazing Whittlesey Cambridgeshire (PE7): The installation of double glazing will help to reduce noise, improve security and increase the energy efficiency of your Whittlesey home. Double glazing refers to the method of making the window using 2 panes of glass with a gas filled medium, generally argon, trapped between them. Acting as insulation, this inert gas delivers impressive thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home.

If you've already got older double glazed windows in your house in Whittlesey but are living with issues, such as draughts or condensation between the glass panes, it might be time to think about updating your windows.

An immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside noises will be seen if your property in Whittlesey has windows with single glazing and you switch to double glazing. You may also increase the value of your property (when you choose to sell), by making the upgrade to double glazing.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

By using a competent double glazing installer in Whittlesey, you will be able find windows that match your choice of style and complement your property beautifully. From period sash windows for older homes, to modern patio doors and casement windows, double glazed units are available in a wide array of materials, colours and sizes.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side. This provides plenty of airflow in the warmer summer months and permits easier cleaning. Tilt and turn casement windows are also available for use where security is vital. Tilt and turn windows have an additional hinge to be able to open a small amount. Increased security is the result, because to let a cool breeze to flow into the room, they can be locked in position when partly open.

Double glazed sash windows with a more tradition appearance can be purchased to complement older or period houses in Whittlesey. These can be double hung, where both of the panes can be opened, or single hung, where just one pane slides. The sash windows of yesteryear were known for their poor standard of energy efficiency, but this problem has been largely alleviated with modern double glazed designs, and with regards to thermal losses, there's hardly any difference between sash and casement windows nowadays.

Bay windows look amazing and can bring a sense of space to a room. If your property in Whittlesey already has bay windows, you could replace them with comparable double glazed units. Bay windows bring a lot of character and style to a home, but the main advantage is the quantity of light that they allow into a room. Another benefit is having the opportunity to put in a useful window seat, if a deep sill exists on the inside of the window.

By using uPVC materials, modern double glazed window frames can be made in almost any colour. It's also possible to have timber frames for a classic look, or aluminium frames for a somewhat more modern feel. Today's aluminium units can be coloured to match your property and no longer have to be a bland, grey and rather dull looking frame for your double glazing.

This CE mark is proof of the standard of both the glass and the frame, and should be plainly visible on the frame and inside the sealed glass unit.
