Double Glazing Bacup Lancashire (OL13): Double glazed windows can improve security, reduce noise levels and increase your home's energy efficiency. Double glazing describes the way a window is made using 2 panes of glass with a gas filled medium, commonly argon, between them. Acting like an insulating material, this gas delivers incredible sound proofing and thermal qualities for any home.
The time might have come to think about updating your windows, if you already have older double glazed windows in your house in Bacup but are dealing with problems, like condensation between the glass panes or draughts.
Condensation in the space between the window panes occurs when a a small hole develops in the sealed unit and warmer air enters from inside the house. As the heated air comes into contact with the cooler exterior glass pane, moisture forms, with condensation as the result. It may be time to replace your existing windows, if this is happening on a regular basis.
If your Bacup home has single glazing, changing to double glazed units will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside sounds. The upgrade to double glazing can also help to raise your property's value should you elect to sell.
DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS
You should be able to find a professional window fitter in the Bacup area who will be able to match the style of window of your choice, and that complements your property. From traditional sash windows for older properties, to contemporary patio doors and casement windows, double glazed frames are available in a wide range of sizes, colours and materials.
Hinged on one side, double glazed casement windows can open inwards or outwards depending on the design. This enables easier cleaning and also gives ample airflow during the summer months. If security is important to you, casement windows are also made of a tilt and turn pattern. Tilt and turn double glazed windows have an additional hinge to be able to open slightly. As they can be locked into position when partly open to allow for a cool breeze to flow into the room, the security is increased.
For a more traditional look to suit a period home in Bacup, there are double glazed sash windows available. There are double hung versions where both sashes are moveable, and single hung styles where only one sash can be slid open. In past times sash windows were not noted for being energy efficient, but contemporary double glazing models have lessened this problem and today there is hardly any difference between sash and casement windows in relation to thermal losses.
Helping to bring a feeling of space to a room, bay windows look awesome. If your property in Bacup already has a bay window, it can fairly easily be replaced with a double glazed equivalent. Bay windows bring a lot of style and character to a home, but the main benefit is the huge amount of light that they let into a room. A further plus point is having the opportunity to put in a useful window seat, if the sill is deep enough on the inside of the window.
By using uPVC materials, modern double glazed window frames can be made in almost any colour. For a traditional look you could also have timber frames, or for a more contemporary feel even go with aluminium. Aluminium windows no longer have to be a dull, grey and rather bland looking frame for your windows, and can easily be coloured to blend in with your house.
All new double glazed windows should display the CE approval mark. This verifies the quality of the glass and the frame and the mark should be visible on the inside of the sealed glass panel and on the frame. All windows and doors made in Great Britain and within Europe, must display the CE logo. If CE approved materials aren't used by your Bacup double glazing firm, they might be using inferior components and made using less stringent specifications. Even though these may be good enough for certain uses, it's best to demand only using double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a warranty.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing
If you own a cat, you have possibly considered fitting a cat flap to your double glazing. This is a great way to let your cat come and go as they please, without you having to keep opening and closing the door for them.
However, it is important to note that installing a cat flap in double glazing isn't a do-it-yourself task, and that the services of a professional should be sought. It is a complex procedure that requires specialist tools and equipment. In the absence of experience 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 pick one that is the best fit for your needs. Some features you might want to consider include a lock or a microchip reader. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock to prevent other animals from entering your house, or a cat flap with a microchip reader to allow only your cat to enter your house.
Having chosen a cat flap, contact a specialist cat flap installer. 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 style of cat flap for your needs.
The cat flap fitter will order a new double glazing unit with a pre-cut hole for the cat flap, ensuring the cat flap's proper installation and maintaining the unit's integrity.
The cat flap installer will return to your home in Bacup to install the new double glazing unit once it has been delivered. This involves removing the old double-glazed unit and installing the new one. The cat flap installer then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double-glazed unit, ensuring proper installation and maintaining the unit's integrity.
The flap specialist will test the cat flap to ensure its proper functioning and demonstrate its usage and settings. (13805 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
