Double Glazing Braintree

Double Glazing Braintree Essex (CM7): Double glazed windows can enhance your home's energy efficiency, improve security and reduce noise. These windows are created using two panes of glass with a gas layer, commonly argon, trapped between them, hence the term 'double glazing'. As it acts like insulation, this inert gas provides a home or property with tremendous sound proofing and thermal qualities.

It may be time to look at updating your windows, if you've already got older double glazing in your property in Braintree but have been dealing with problems, such as condensation between the glass panes or draughts.

If your Braintree home has windows with single glazing, changing to double glazed units will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing. Upgrading to double glazed windows may also help to boost the value of your home when you elect to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

To obtain double glazed windows that match your choice of style and complement your property, you should hire a competent double glazing fitter in the Braintree area. Whether you're searching for period sash windows for an older property in Braintree, or contemporary patio doors and casement windows, double glazed units are available in a wide array of sizes, colours and materials to match your needs.

Hinged on one side, double glazing casement windows can be made to open inwards or outwards depending on the design. This permits easier cleaning and also provides ample airflow during the summer months. They're also available in a tilt and turn design which adds an added degree of security where required. Tilt and turn windows have an extra hinge to be able to open slightly. Enhanced security is the result, because to allow cool air to flow into the room, they can be locked securely in position when partly open.

To suit an older or period home in Braintree, there are also options available for double glazed sash windows with a traditional look. There are single hung designs where only one sash slides, and double hung styles, where both sashes slide. In past times sash windows were not known for their energy efficiency, but contemporary double glazing models have lessened this issue and today there's pretty much nothing between casement and sash windows in terms of thermal loss.

Bay windows look wonderful and can bring a feeling of space to a room. If your house in Braintree already has a bay window, you could replace it with a double glazed equivalent. The quantity of light that it allows into a room, is the main benefit of a bay window, and it is the perfect place to have a window seat installed if you've got a deep sill on the interior side.

Modern double glazing units can be manufactured in almost any colour you desire by using uPVC materials. It's also possible to have timber frames for a traditional look, or aluminium double glazing for a more modern feel. Contemporary aluminium units can be coloured to blend in with your house and no longer have to be a bland, grey and rather dull looking frame for your double glazing.

You should be able to spot the CE mark displayed on any new double glazed windows that are fitted in Braintree homes. This mark should be plainly visible inside the sealed glass unit and on the frame, and is proof of the standard of both the frame and the glass. The CE logo is a necessity for all windows and doors manufactured in Great Britain and within Europe. If your double glazing company in Braintree does not use CE approved materials they could perhaps be made using less stringent standards of production and substandard materials. Although these may be good enough for many uses, it is best to demand only using products that come with CE approval and are backed by a warranty.

INSTALLATION OF REPLACEMENT DOUBLE GLAZING IN BRAINTREE

Finding a good double glazing firm in Braintree for your new windows and doors can often begin with a recommendation from family or friends. This can be invaluable when searching for companies to give you a price quote, and word of mouth recommendations provide a great insight into how a company performs. When asking for double glazing estimates in Braintree, always talk to at least 3 different firms, to get a wide range of prices. So as to help you choose the best solution for your new windows and doors, an experienced double glazing fitter should be willing to give you a free, no obligation quote. So that you get an accurate price for the work, a saleperson will take detailed measurements of the door and window frames that you're upgrading. If you're having your entire house in Braintree double glazed, remember that there may be a little room for negotiation.

Once you're satisfied with a quoted price, and have made a decision on which company in Braintree to hire, your brand new double glazing windows will be made-to-measure at the factory. According to the style of window, your frame type, the opening options and the number of doors and windows you require, this could take anything from several days to a few weeks. If you need planning permission, this must be organised, and a time frame for installation can be agreed between yourself and the company.

Included in this time, is the removal of the old window and squaring up the opening for the new window unit to sit in. A typical home in Braintree can be finished within a couple of days with minimal 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 can be a wonderful way to give your cat the freedom to enter and exit the house as they wish, without you having to continuously open and shut the door for them.

Installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a DIY task, so it's important to keep this in mind. It is a complex process that requires specialist equipment and tools. Unless you are experienced in this type of work, it is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter.

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 may want to consider include a microchip reader or a lock. For example, you may want a cat flap with a microchip reader to allow only your cat to enter your property.

Once a cat flap has been chosen, a professional 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 kind of cat flap for your needs.

The cat flap fitter will then order a new double glazing 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.

The cat flap fitter will return to your home in Braintree to install the new double glazing unit once it has been delivered.
