Double Glazing Christchurch

Double Glazing Christchurch Dorset (BH23): Double glazed windows can increase your home's energy efficiency, reduce noise and boost security. Double glazing refers to the way a window is made using 2 panes of glass with a gas filled layer, generally argon, between them. Acting like insulation, this inert gas delivers tremendous sound proofing and thermal qualities for any home or property.

If your house in Christchurch is already fitted with older style double glazed windows, and you are faced with problems like condensation or draughts, it may be a good idea to now get new replacement double glazing to get your building back in shape.

The switch to double glazed windows will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing, if your home in Christchurch currently has windows with single glazing. You may also increase your property's value (if you opt to sell), by making the upgrade to double glazed windows.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

To find double glazed windows that satisfy your choice of style and match your property, you can hire a professional double glazing fitter in the Christchurch area. From contemporary casement windows and patio doors to traditional sash windows for older houses, double glazing frames can be found in a wide range of sizes, colours and materials.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazed casement windows are hinged on one side only. This permits easier cleaning and also provides ample airflow during the summer. For extra security, casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn design. The addition of an extra hinge allows tilt and turn double glazed windows to open to a limited degree. Increased security is the result, because to allow cool air to enter the room, they can be locked in place when only partially open.

For a more traditional look to suit a period home in Christchurch, there are double glazed sash windows available. These can be bought in both single hung and double hung styles, where either one or both panes can move. During the past sash windows were not known for their energy efficiency, but modern double glazed models have lessened this issue and now there's hardly any difference between casement windows and sash windows in terms of thermal loss.

Bay windows look great and can bring a feeling of space to a room. If your home in Christchurch already has a bay window, you could replace it with an equivalent double glazed frame. The advantage of a bay window is the amount of light it allows into a room, and if you've got a deep sill on the inside, it's an ideal place to have a window seat installed.

With the use of uPVC materials, modern double glazing frames can be made in almost any colour. For a more contemporary feel you could pick aluminium double glazing, or for the classic look - timber frames units. Modern aluminium frames can be coloured to match your home and no longer have to be a bland, grey and rather dull looking frame for your windows.

All new double glazed windows must come with a CE approval mark. This verifies the standard of the glass and of the frame and the CE mark should be plainly visible inside the sealed glass panel and on the frame. For all windows and doors made in the United Kingdom and within Europe, the CE logo is a requirement. If CE approved materials aren't used by your Christchurch double glazing firm, they may be using cheaper components and making their windows using less rigorous specifications. Even though these might be acceptable for certain 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 CHRISTCHURCH

Finding a decent double glazing specialist in Christchurch for your new windows and doors can often begin with a recommendation from friends and family. This can be valuable when hunting for companies to give you a quotation, and word of mouth testimonials provide an insight into how a company performs. When getting a quote for double glazing in Christchurch, always try and get in touch with at least three different firms. An established double glazing installer should be willing to give you a free, no obligation quote in order to help you choose the right solution for your new doors and windows. So that you get an exact price for the task, a saleperson will obtain precise measurements of the door and window frames you're upgrading. It's always a good idea to remember that there may well be a bit of room for negotiation on the price, if your entire house in Christchurch is going to be double glazed.

As soon as you have selected the best double glazing specialist in Christchurch and have agreed upon a price for the doors and windows, they'll be custom made in your desired style and colour. This process could take from several days to a few weeks subject to your frame type, the opening options, the number of windows you require and the style of window. If planning permission is required, this should be applied for, and an agreed time frame for installation can be set between you and the company.

It's possible that you may need planning permission if your property is listed, is in a conservation area, is close to a National Park or has a restrictive covenant. Having already done work in the Christchurch area, a trustworthy double glazing specialist will know the legal necessities and requirements, and will be happy to advise you on any restrictions.

The installation time of your double glazing will obviously be determined by how many windows are being installed. A good installer will fit a modern double glazed window in about 3 hours. Taking out the existing window is included in this time frame, as is preparing the hole that the new window sits in. With minimal disruption to you, a normal property can be completed in a day or so.

DOUBLE GLAZING ACCREDITATIONS

An established double glazing company should be associated with at least one trade body or association such as FENSA, the Double Glazing Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme, Trustmark or the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) to name but a few.

Accreditations from such organisations signifies that the company is experienced, qualified and complies with the appropriate building regulations, but does not necessarily guarantee that nothing will go wrong during your double glazing installation.

These industry bodies also offer some type of compensation or guarantee schemes, on top of the company warranty, to make certain that if there is any argument there is an impartial arbitration between the two parties. Obviously, the majority of double glazing installations in Christchurch are completed with no issues, however it is always good to know that help is at hand if it's required.

If a cat is a part of your household, you may have considered installing a cat flap in your double glazing. This is a great way to let your cat come and go as they wish, without you having to keep opening and closing the door for them.

However, it is important to be aware that installing a cat flap in double glazing isn't a DIY task. Specialised equipment and tools are essential for this complex process. If you lack experience in this type of work, it is advisable to hire a specialist cat flap fitter.

Once a cat flap has been chosen, a professional cat flap fitter should be contacted. 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 sort of cat flap for your needs.

The cat flap installer will order a new double-glazed unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap, thereby preserving the unit's integrity and ensuring the cat flap's proper installation.

The cat flap installer will return to your home in Christchurch to install the new double glazing unit once it has been delivered. This process entails removing the old double glazing unit and replacing it with the new one. The cat flap fitter then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double glazing unit.
