Double Glazing Broxbourne

Double Glazing Broxbourne Hertfordshire (EN10): Putting in double glazing can help to reduce noise levels, boost security and enhance the energy efficiency of your Broxbourne home. The expression double glazing actually refers to the way these windows are made using two panes of glass, with a gas filled layer trapped between them (commonly argon). As it acts like insulation, this gas provides a property with tremendous thermal and sound proofing qualities.

If you already have older double glazed windows in your home in Broxbourne but are faced with issues, such as condensation between the glass panes or draughts, it might be time to consider upgrading your windows.

If your Broxbourne property currently has single glazing, the switch to double glazed windows will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. You may also boost the value of your property (should you opt to sell), by upgrading to double glazed windows.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

You can find an experienced installer in the Broxbourne area who will be able to source windows to match the style of your choice, and that perfectly complement your property. Double glazed units can be bought in a wide array of colours, sizes and materials, to suit period sash windows for older homes, to modern patio doors and casement windows.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazing casement windows are hinged on one side only. This means that they're easily cleaned, and can provide adequate airflow during the summer season. For added security, casement windows can also be arranged into a tilt and turn design. Tilt and turn double glazed windows have an extra hinge to be able to open a small amount. Because they can be locked securely into position when partially open to allow for cool air to enter the room, the security is enhanced.

There are also available options for double glazing sash windows with a more traditional look that are suitable for a period home in Broxbourne. These can be double hung, where both sashes can be slid open, or single hung, where only one pane is moveable. In past times sash windows were not known for being energy efficient, but contemporary double glazing models have alleviated this problem and nowadays there is pretty much nothing between casement and sash windows when it comes to thermal loss.

An alternative might be a bay window, which looks fantastic and helps to bring a feeling of space to even the smallest of rooms. If your Broxbourne property has a bay window already, exchanging it for a double glazed equivalent shouldn't be too much of an issue. The amount of light that it lets into a room, is the main advantage 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.

With the use of uPVC materials, modern double glazed frames can be made in almost any colour. You can also have wooden frames for a traditional feel, or aluminium double glazing for a somewhat more contemporary look. Readily coloured to suit your home, aluminium units no longer have to be a grey, bland and dull as they were in the past.

All double glazing installed today must display the CE approval mark. This mark is proof of the standard of both the frame and the glass, and should be visible on the frame itself and inside the sealed glass unit. For all doors and windows made in Britain and the EU, the CE logo is a requirement. Make sure that your double glazing company in Broxbourne is using CE approved materials for manufacturing it's doors and windows, otherwise they could be made to less stringent standards and with poor quality materials and components. Although these poorer quality products may be adequate in some circumstances, it is recommended that you insist on guaranteed double glazing with CE approval for your house in Broxbourne.

The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows in Broxbourne

Double glazing can improve the energy efficiency of your home by keeping the warm air inside and preventing cold from entering. Studies have shown that up to 50% of heat is lost through doors and windows. The insulating properties of double glazing can reduce this loss by up to 81%. This means that your home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, and you can reduce your energy bill accordingly. Additionally, double glazing can help to reduce noise pollution, as thicker windows will reduce noise from busy roads, airports, and other sources.

Another advantage of double glazing is its ability to reduce condensation. This is because of the airtight seal between the two panes of glass. This barrier prevents air from escaping and prevents mould from forming. While mould is unsightly, it can also be uncomfortable. Furthermore, condensation makes a room feel cold. Double glazing reduces this problem by making a room feel cozier and more comfortable.

Another great benefit of double glazing is that it helps a home retain warmth from the sun. This will reduce your heating and air conditioning costs in the winter and keep your home cooler during summer. This will help you save on your energy bill, as well as save on your carbon footprint. So if you are looking for a better way to reduce energy costs, installing double glazing is a smart move.

Another benefit of double glazing is that it is more difficult to break or force open from the outside. This increases the safety level of your home and discourages burglars from breaking in. Moreover, double-glazed windows also reduce the effects of excessive heat on furnishings. Since your furnishings are better protected, your home will have a higher selling price.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

If you own a cat, you have possibly considered fitting a cat flap to your double glazing. This can be a brilliant way to give your cat the freedom to enter and leave the house as they please, without you having to continually open and close the door.

However, it's important to remember that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a do-it-yourself task. This is a complex process that requires specialised equipment and tools. Unless you are experienced in this kind of work, it is best to hire a specialist cat flap fitter.

How to install a cat flap in double glazing:

The first step is to choose the right cat flap. There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, so it is important to pick one that is the right size for your cat and that has the features that you need. For example, you may want a cat flap with a microchip reader or a lock.

Having chosen a cat flap, contact a specialist cat flap fitter. 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.

To preserve the double glazing unit's integrity and ensure the cat flap's proper installation, the cat flap installer will order a new double-glazed unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap.

Upon delivery of the new double glazing unit, the cat flap installer will return to your home in Broxbourne to install it. This process entails removing the old double glazing unit and replacing it with the new one. The cat flap specialist then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double glazing unit.

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)
