Double Glazing Aldenham Hertfordshire (WD25): Putting in double glazing will help to boost security, reduce noise and enhance the energy efficiency of your Aldenham home. Double glazing refers to the way a window is made using a double layer of glass with a gas layer, commonly argon, between them. As it acts like an insulating material, this gas provides a home with effective sound proofing and thermal qualities.
If you already have older double glazed windows in your property in Aldenham but are faced with problems, such as draughts or condensation between the panels, the time may have come to think about swapping your windows.
Condensation occurs in the space between the panes when holes appear in the seal around the glass and warm air enters from inside the house. Moisture forms as the warm air makes contact with the colder exterior pane of glass, which means that you have a condensation problem. It is time to change your existing windows, if this problem occurs fairly often.
The switch to double glazed units will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises, if your house in Aldenham currently has single glazed windows. Making the upgrade to double glazing could also help to increase you home's value should you elect to sell.
DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS
By using an experienced double glazing installer in Aldenham, you'll be able get double glazed windows that both match the style of your choice and accentuate your house beautifully. From traditional sash windows for older homes, to contemporary patio doors and casement windows, double glazed units can be purchased in a wide range of colours, materials and sizes.
Opening outwards or inwards, double glazed casement windows are hinged on one side only. This means they are easily cleaned, and offer the possibility of ample airflow during the summer season. Tilt and turn casement windows can also be purchased for use where security is vital. Permitting them to open slightly, tilt and turn windows have a supplementary hinge. As they can be locked in place when only partially open to allow for a cool breeze to flow into the room, the security is much better.
To complement an older or period home in Aldenham, there are also available options for double glazing sash windows with a more traditional look. There are double hung styles where both sashes are moveable, and single hung models where only one sash can be slid open. Sash windows weren't noted for their energy efficiency in past times, but today there's pretty much nothing between the thermal losses of sash and casement windows, as contemporary double glazed models have reduced this problem.
Bay windows look fantastic and can bring a feeling of space to a room. If your property in Aldenham has already got a bay window, it can fairly easily be replaced with an equivalent double glazed frame. The quantity of light that it lets into a room, is the main benefit of a bay window, and it is the ideal place to fit a window seat if you have a deep sill on the interior side.
Today's double glazing units can be manufactured in pretty much any colour by using uPVC materials. You can also have timber frames for a classic feel, or aluminium for a more contemporary effect. Aluminium windows no longer have to be a dull, grey and bland looking frame for your windows, and can readily be coloured to match your home.
All modern double glazed frames that are installed in homes in Aldenham must display the CE approval mark. This verifies the quality of the frame and the glass and the mark should be plainly visible on the inside of the sealed glass panel and on the frame. The CE logo is a requirement for all doors and windows manufactured in the UK and the EU. If your Aldenham double glazing company does not use CE approved materials they may be made using less rigorous standards of production and inferior materials. It is better to always insist on only using double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed up with a guarantee or warranty.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing
In case you have a cat, you might have considered putting in a cat flap in your double glazing. 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's important to remember that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a DIY task. Specialised tools and equipment are required for this complex process. If you lack experience in this type of work, it is advisable to hire a specialist cat flap fitter.

To begin, you must select the appropriate cat flap. There are a variety of cat flaps available, so it is important to pick one that is the correct size for your cat and has the features you need. For example, you may prefer a cat flap with a lock or a microchip reader.
Having chosen a cat flap, contact a specialist cat flap fitter. They will visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space for the cat flap installation. They can also advise you on the best style of cat flap for your needs.
To preserve the double glazing unit's integrity and ensure the cat flap's proper installation, the cat flap fitter will order a new double glazing unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap.
Once the new double-glazed unit has been delivered, the cat flap installer will come back to your home in Aldenham to install it. This process will involve removing the old double-glazed unit and replacing it with the new one. The cat flap installer will then install the cat flap in the hole that has been cut out of the double glazing unit.
To ensure your knowledge and confidence in operating the flap, the device fitter will test it to ensure its proper operation and demonstrate its settings and usage. (13805 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
