Double Glazing Bovingdon

Double Glazing Bovingdon Hertfordshire (HP3): The installation of double glazing in your home in Bovingdon, can reduce noise, improve security and enhance your home's energy efficiency. These windows are produced using twin panes of glass with a gas layer, typically argon, trapped between them, hence the term 'double glazing'. Because it acts like an insulating material, this gas provides a home with effective sound proofing and thermal qualities.

If your home in Bovingdon already has older double glazed windows fitted, and you're having issues like draughts or condensation, now would be a good time to get some new replacement double glazing to bring your building back to 21st century standards.

An immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing will be seen if your home in Bovingdon currently has windows with single glazing and you switch to double glazed windows. You may also increase the value of your property (should you decide to sell), by making the upgrade to double glazed windows.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

You can find a specialist installer in the Bovingdon area who'll be able to match the style of window of your choice, and one that complements your home. Double glazed units are available in an array of colours, sizes and materials, to suit modern casement windows and patio doors to period sash windows for older homes.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazed casement windows are hinged on one side only. This delivers plenty of airflow in the summer months and enables easier cleaning. They're also available in a tilt and turn design which adds another level of security where required. The addition of an extra hinge allows tilt and turn double glazed windows to open to a limited degree. Because they can be locked into position when partially open to allow for a fresh breeze to enter the room, the security is increased.

Double glazing sash windows with a more tradition appearance are available to match older and period properties in Bovingdon. These can be single hung, where only one sash moves, or double hung, where both of the panes can be slid open. In times past sash windows were not noted for their energy efficiency, but modern double glazed designs have lessened this issue and today there is practically nothing between sash and casement windows when it comes to thermal loss.

Bay windows look awesome and can bring a sense of space to a room. If you have an existing bay window it is feasible to swap it for an equivalent double glazed frame to keep the style. Bay windows bring a lot of style and character to a property, but the main advantage is the amount of light that they allow to flood into a room. An additional benefit is being able to install a window seat, if a deep sill exists on the interior side of the window.

Through the use of uPVC materials, today's double glazing frames can be made in virtually any colour. It is also possible to have wooden frames for a traditional feel, or aluminium frames for a more contemporary look. Easily coloured to suit your home, aluminium windows no longer have to be a bland, grey and dull as they were in the past.

All modern double glazed frames that are installed in homes in Bovingdon must display the CE approval mark. This is proof of the standard of the frame and the glass and the CE mark should be plainly visible on the inside of the sealed glass panel and on the frame. For all windows and doors made in Britain and within Europe, the CE logo is a necessity. If CE approved materials are not used by your Bovingdon double glazing specialist, they could be using poor quality components and making their windows and doors using less rigorous specifications. It is best to always insist that the company only uses double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a warranty.

This step could take anything from a few days to several weeks depending on your frame type, the number of doors and windows you need, the style of window and the opening options. If planning permission is required, this will need to be applied for, and an agreed time frame for installation can be set between you and the company.

It may be necessary to apply for planning permission if your home has a restrictive covenant, is listed, is in an area such as the boundaries of a National Park or is in a conservation area. A reliable double glazing firm will be happy to advise you of any local restrictions and will likely have already done work in the Bovingdon area, and should know the legal necessities and requirements.

Removing the pre-existing window will be included in this time frame, as will squaring up the hole that the new window sits in. A normal home can be finished over a couple of days with the minimum of disruption to you.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

Have you considered putting in a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a cat? This is a superb way to allow your cat to come and go as they please, without you having to continuously open and shut the door for them.

It is important to note that installing a cat flap in double glazing isn't a do-it-yourself job, and should be carried out by a professional. Specialist tools and equipment are essential for this complex procedure. If you're not experienced in this kind of work, it is best to hire a specialist cat flap installer.

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 lock or a microchip reader. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock to prevent other animals from entering your home, or a cat flap with a microchip reader to allow only your cat to enter your home.

Once a cat flap has been chosen, a specialist 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 type 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 sure that the cat flap is installed correctly and that the integrity of the double glazing unit is not compromised.

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

The flap fitter will test the device to ensure its proper operation and demonstrate its settings and usage, providing you with the peace of mind that your cat flap is working properly and that you know how to use it. (13805 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
