Yate Double Glazed Windows & Doors

Double Glazing Yate Gloucestershire (BS37): Double glazed windows can improve security, reduce noise and increase your home's energy efficiency. The term double glazing actually refers to the method of making these windows using two panes of glass, with a gas filled medium trapped between them (commonly argon). Acting like insulation, this inert gas provides excellent thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home or property.

It might be time to look at replacing your windows, if you already have older style double glazed windows in your property in Yate but have been having problems, such as draughts or condensation between the panes.

Double Glazing Yate Gloucestershire (BS37)

Condensation occurs when small gaps appear in the sealed unit, and warm air from inside the home finds its way into the gap between the panes. Moisture forms as the heated air comes into contact with the cooler external glass pane, which means that you have a condensation problem. If this happens regularly it is probably time to replace your current windows.

The switch to double glazed units will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside noises, if your house in Yate has currently got windows with single glazing. You may also raise the value of your property (when you choose to sell), by upgrading to double glazed windows.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazing casement windows have hinges on one side. This allows for easier cleaning and also delivers ample airflow during the summer. Casement windows can also be arranged into a tilt and turn design for added security. Tilt and turn double glazed windows have an extra hinge to be able to open a small amount. This adds more security because they can be locked securely into position when only partially open to enable cool air to enter the room.

To complement a period home in Yate, you can also buy double glazed sash windows with a more traditional look. There are single hung models where only one pane slides, and double hung models, where both sashes slide. In past times sash windows were not known for their energy efficiency, but contemporary double glazing designs have reduced this problem and nowadays there's pretty much nothing between sash and casement windows with respect to thermal loss.

Bay windows look wonderful and can bring a sense of space to a room. If your home in Yate has already got bay windows, it should not be too difficult to replace them with double glazed equivalents. Bay windows bring plenty of style and character to a home, however the main advantage is the huge amount of light that they allow to flood into a room. An additional benefit is having the opportunity to put in a window seat, if the sill is deep enough on the inside of the window.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

You may have pondered installing a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a feline companion. This is a superb way to allow your cat to come and go as they wish, without you having to continually open and shut the door for them.

However, it is worth noting that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a task that can be done by yourself. Specialised equipment and tools are essential for this complex process. Unless you are experienced in this type of work, it is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter.

How to install a cat flap in double glazing:

The first step is to choose a cat flap that is the right size for your cat and has the features you need. There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, so you can choose one that is the best fit for your needs. Some features you might want to consider include a microchip reader or a lock. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock to stop other animals from entering your home, or a cat flap with a microchip reader to allow only your cat to enter your property.

Once you've selected a cat flap, you should contact a specialist cat flap fitter. They'll visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space where the cat flap will be installed. They can also give you advice on the best style of cat flap for your needs.

The cat flap installer will order a new double glazing unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap, thereby ensuring proper installation and preserving the unit's integrity.

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

Finally, the cat flap fitter will test the flap to make certain that it is working properly. They will also show you how to use the device and how to adjust the settings. (47902 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
