Double Glazing Clacton-on-Sea

Double Glazing Clacton-on-Sea Essex (CO15): The installation of double glazing will help to reduce noise, boost security and increase the energy efficiency of your Clacton-on-Sea home. These windows are created using twin panes of glass with a gas filled layer, usually argon, between them, thus the expression 'double glazing'. Acting as insulation, this inert gas provides incredible thermal and sound proofing qualities for any property.

If you have already got older style double glazed windows in your house in Clacton-on-Sea but are faced with problems, such as draughts or condensation between the panes, the time may have come to consider upgrading your windows.

An immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing will be experienced if your home in Clacton-on-Sea currently has single glazed windows and you upgrade them to double glazing. Making the upgrade to double glazed windows may also help to raise the value of your property if you opt to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

To obtain windows that match your choice of style and complement your property, you can hire a professional double glazing fitter in the Clacton-on-Sea area. From modern patio doors and casement windows to period sash windows for older homes, double glazing frames can be found in a wide selection of sizes, colours and materials.

Having hinges on one side, double glazing casement windows can be made to open inwards or outwards depending on the design. This provides a good amount of airflow in the warm summer months and allows for easier cleaning. Casement windows can also be arranged into a tilt and turn design for additional security. The addition of an extra hinge enables tilt and turn double glazed windows to be opened to a limited degree. Improved security results, because to let a fresh breeze to enter the room, they can be locked firmly into position when partly open.

To suit an older or period property in Clacton-on-Sea, there are also options for double glazing sash windows with a traditional appearance. There are double hung models where both of the panes are moveable, and single hung versions where just one sash slides. The sash windows of the past were known for their poor standard of energy efficiency, however this issue has been largely alleviated with modern day double glazing models, and when it comes to thermal loss, there is very little between casement and sash windows nowadays.

Bay windows look fabulous and can bring a feeling of space to a room. If you've got an existing bay window it's possible to change it for a double glazed equivalent to keep the style. The good thing about a bay window is the quantity of light it lets into a room, and if you've got a sill that is sufficiently deep on the interior side, it is the perfect place to have a window seat installed.

With the use of uPVC materials, modern double glazing frames can be made in virtually any colour. It's also possible to have timber frames for a classic look, or aluminium frames for a somewhat more modern feel. Modern aluminium frames can be coloured to match your property and no longer have to be a grey, dull and bland looking frame for your double glazing.

You must be able to find the CE mark on any new double glazing that is installed in Clacton-on-Sea homes. This mark verifies the standard of both the frame and the glass, and should be plainly visible on the frame itself and inside the sealed glass panel. For all windows and doors made in the British Isles and the EU, the CE logo is a necessary requirement. If CE approved materials are not used by your Clacton-on-Sea double glazing specialist, they could be using poor quality components and made using less rigorous specifications. Even though these poorer quality frames may be OK in some situations, you should insist upon guaranteed double glazing with CE approval for your home in Clacton-on-Sea.

INSTALLATION OF REPLACEMENT DOUBLE GLAZING IN CLACTON-ON-SEA

Finding a good double glazing company in Clacton-on-Sea for your new windows and doors can often begin with recommendations from friends or neighbours. These types of word of mouth testimonials can be priceless when looking for a company to give you an estimate, and can sometimes provide valuable insights into the workings and reliability of a company. When getting a quote for double glazing in Clacton-on-Sea, try to get in touch with at least 3 different companies. A free, no obligation quotation will be provided by a trustworthy double glazing installer, so that you're able to choose the best solution. Detailed measurements of your door and window frames will be obtained by the salesperson, so that you will get an exact price for the task. Remember, if you're having your entire property in Clacton-on-Sea double glazed, there could be some room for negotiation on price.

Once you are satisfied with a price you've been quoted, and have made a decision on which company in Clacton-on-Sea to hire, your new double glazed doors and windows will be made-to-measure at the factory. This step could take from a few days to several weeks subject to your frame type, the design of window, the opening options and the number of windows and doors you need. The time frame for installation will be agreed upon by you and must include any need for applying for planning permission if required.

It is possible that you might need to apply for planning permission if your house has a restrictive covenant, is close to a National Park, is a listed building or is in a conservation area. Being familiar with all the legal necessities and requirements, a dependable double glazing company will be able to advise you about any local restrictions and will have already undertaken work in the Clacton-on-Sea area.

The installation time of your windows will of course be determined by how many windows are being installed. It typically takes under 3 hours to install a standard double glazed window frame. Included in this time, is removing the existing window and trueing up the opening for the new window unit to sit in. In a day or so, an average house can be completed with hardly any disruption to you and your family.

ACCREDITATIONS

An experienced double glazing firm should be a signed up member of at least one industry body or organisation such as FENSA, Trustmark, the GGF (Glass and Glazing Federation) or the Double Glazing Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme (DGCOS) to name but a few.

Membership of such organisations demonstrates that the company is experienced, qualified and follows the appropriate building regulations, but does not necessarily guarantee that nothing will go awry during the installation of your double glazed windows.

These trade bodies also offer some form of compensation or guarantee schemes, on top of the company guarantee, to make certain that if there is any conflict there's an independent mediation between the two parties. Although most double glazing projects in Clacton-on-Sea are completed with no issues, it is good to know that if help is required, it's easily obtainable.

DOUBLE GLAZING AFTERCARE AND AFTER SALES SUPPORT

Even if the process has gone smoothly during the installation there might be advice needed or questions afterwards. Your double glazed windows should come with a comprehensive warranty of up to 10 years, and most double glazing companies in Clacton-on-Sea will also offer a callout and troubleshooting service in case anything should go wrong with your new windows or doors. It is good advice to check this out beforehand to find out if there's a free callout and repair period as part of the guarantee.

The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows in Clacton-on-Sea

Double glazing has a number of benefits for homeowners. For one thing, it can help to reduce energy consumption. It also can help to reduce noise from outside the home. It is estimated that double glazing can reduce noise in your home by as much as 60%. This is a big benefit, especially if you live in a noisy neighbourhood.

In addition, double-glazed windows are very good at controlling temperature, making them ideal for both summers and winters. Double glazing also traps cold air, which means that you can use less air conditioning in the summer and lower your air conditioning bills. Choosing windows with an A-rated energy-efficient label can reduce your annual energy bills by around £250.

Condensation is a serious problem in a home. Excess moisture that accumulates on windows and doors can lead to mould and rot, affecting the house's value as well as the health of its occupants. When condensation gets worse, it can also damage the foundations of your home. To solve this problem, you should invest in double glazing for your home.

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

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 wish, without you having to continuously open and shut the door for them.

However, it is worth noting that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a task that can be done by yourself. Specialized equipment and tools are essential for this complex procedure. It is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter if you do not have the necessary experience for this sort of work.

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. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock or a microchip reader.

Once a cat flap has been chosen, a specialist cat flap installer 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 style of cat flap for your needs.

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

After the new double glazing unit is delivered, the cat flap installer will return to your home in Clacton-on-Sea to install it. This process involves removing the old double glazing unit and installing the new one. The cat flap specialist then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double-glazed unit.

Finally, the device fitter will test the cat flap to ensure that it is working properly. They will also show you how to use the device and how to adjust the settings. (13805 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
