Double Glazing Galashiels

Double Glazing Galashiels Scotland (TD1): Putting double glazing into your home in Galashiels, can reduce noise, enhance your home's energy efficiency and improve security. The expression double glazing essentially relates to the way these windows are made using two panes of glass, with a gas layer between them (usually argon). Acting like insulation, this inert gas delivers excellent thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home or property.

If your house in Galashiels is already fitted with older style double glazed windows, and you are having issues like draughts or condensation between the panes, now would be a good time to get some new replacement double glazing to get your building up-to-date.

If your Galashiels property currently has single glazing, upgrading to double glazed units will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. You may also boost the value of your property (if you decide to sell), by upgrading to double glazed windows.

DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

By using a professional double glazing fitter in Galashiels, you will be able get double glazed windows that both match your choice of style and enhance your property beautifully. Double glazing frames can be found in a wide selection of sizes, materials and colours, to match contemporary patio doors and casement windows to period sash windows for older properties.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazing casement windows are hinged on one side only. This gives plenty of airflow in the warm summer months and enables easier cleaning. They're also available in a tilt and turn design which adds an additional degree of security where required. Tilt and turn windows have a supplementary hinge to be able to open slightly. Because they can be locked firmly in position when partly open to allow for a fresh breeze to enter the room, the security is improved.

There are also options available for double glazed sash windows for a more traditional appearance to complement a period house in Galashiels. These can be single hung, where only one sash is moveable, or double hung, where both sashes can be slid open. The sash windows of yesteryear were known for their poor energy efficiency, however this issue has for the most part been lessened with contemporary double glazed models, and in terms of thermal loss, there's hardly any difference between sash and casement windows today.

Bay windows look awesome and can bring a sense of space to a room. If your Galashiels home has a bay window already, replacing it with an equivalent double glazed frame should not be a problem. The amount of light that it lets into a room, is the main benefit of a bay window, and it is the perfect place to fit a window seat if you've got a sill that is sufficiently deep on the inside.

With the development of modern uPVC materials, pretty much any colour you desire is possible in today's double glazing window frames. For a more contemporary feel you could pick aluminium frames, or for the traditional look - timber frames. Easily coloured to match your house, aluminium windows no longer have to be a bland, grey and dull like they used to be.

All modern double glazing that is fitted in homes in Galashiels should display the CE approval mark. This mark is proof of the standard of both the glass and the frame, and should be plainly visible on the frame itself and on the inside of the sealed glass panel. For all doors and windows produced in the UK and within Europe, the CE logo is a legal requirement. Make sure your Galashiels double glazing company is using CE approved materials for manufacturing it's windows and doors, or else they could be made to less rigorous standards and with substandard materials and components. Whilst they may be adequate for some uses, it is better to insist on only using products that come with a CE approval and are backed by a warranty.
