Condensation in the gap between the window panes occurs when a a small gap develops in the seal around the glass and heated air enters from inside the house. As the colder outside pane of glass comes into contact with the warm air, moisture is formed as condensation. If this is happening frequently the time may have come to replace your current windows.

If your Henfield property has single glazing, the switch to double glazed units will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. The upgrade to double glazing can also help to boost the value of your property should you choose to sell.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side. This allows for easier cleaning and also delivers ample airflow during the summer. Tilt and turn casement windows are also available for use where security is vital. Tilt and turn windows have a supplementary hinge to be able to open slightly. As they can be locked in position when partly open to allow for a cool breeze to flow into the room, the security is improved.

Double glazed sash windows with a more tradition appearance are available to match older or period houses in Henfield. There are double hung designs where both panes can be moved, and single hung models where only one pane slides. The sash windows of yesteryear were renowned for their poor standard of energy efficiency, however this problem has been largely reduced with contemporary double glazed models, and with regards to thermal loss, there's very little difference between sash and casement windows these days.

An alternative may be a bay window, which will look amazing and help to bring a feeling of space to even the most modest of rooms. If you have an existing bay window it's possible to change it for a double glazed equivalent to maintain the style. The quantity of light that it allows into a room, is the main advantage of a bay window, and it makes for a perfect place to have a window seat installed if you have a deep sill on the interior side.

With the development of modern uPVC materials, pretty much any colour is possible in today's double glazed frames. It's also possible to have timber frames for a classic feel, or aluminium for a more modern effect. Easily coloured to suit your home, aluminium units no longer have to be a bland, grey and dull like they were in the 70's and 80's.

All modern double glazing must display the CE approval mark. This verifies the quality of the frame and the glass and the mark should be plainly visible inside the sealed glass panel and on the frame. For all doors and windows produced in the UK and the EU, the CE logo is a legal requirement. If CE approved materials aren't used by your Henfield double glazing company, they might be using substandard components and made using less stringent specifications. It is always better to demand that the company only uses products that come with a CE approval and are backed by a warranty or guarantee.

The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows in Henfield

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.

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 great way to let your cat come and go as they wish, without you having to keep opening and closing the door for them.

It's important to remember that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a DIY job, and that a specialist should be hired to carry out the work. Specialised equipment and tools are required for this complex process. If you lack experience in this sort of work, it is advisable to hire a specialist cat flap fitter.

How to install a cat flap in double glazing:

To begin, you must select the appropriate cat flap. There are a variety of cat flaps available, therefore it's important to choose one that is the correct size for your cat and has the features you need. For example, you may prefer a cat flap with a lock or a microchip reader.

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

The cat flap fitter will order a new double-glazed unit with a pre-cut hole for the cat flap, ensuring the cat flap's proper installation and maintaining the unit's integrity.

The cat flap installer will return to your home in Henfield to install the new double-glazed unit once it has been delivered. This 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, thereby preserving the unit's integrity and ensuring proper installation.

The cat flap fitter will test the device to ensure proper operation and demonstrate its settings and usage. (13805 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
