Double Glazing Kinross

Double Glazing Kinross Scotland (KY13): You can increase your home's energy efficiency, reduce noise levels and improve security by installing double glazing. The term double glazing essentially refers to the method of making these windows using 2 panes of glass, with a gas filled medium trapped between them (commonly argon). This inert gas acts as an insulating material and provides impressive thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home or property in Kinross.

The time might have come to think about replacing your windows, if you've already got older style double glazing in your home in Kinross but are living with issues, like draughts or condensation between the glass panes.

If your Kinross home currently has windows with single glazing, changing to double glazed units will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. The upgrade to double glazing may also help to raise your property's value should you choose to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW MATERIALS AND STYLES

To find windows that match your choice and complement your home, you can use a competent double glazing installer in the Kinross area. From traditional sash windows for older properties, to modern casement windows and patio doors, double glazing frames can be purchased in a large selection of sizes, materials and colours.

Opening inwards or outwards, double glazed casement windows have hinges on one side. This enables easier cleaning and also delivers ample airflow during the summer. They're also available in a tilt and turn design which adds an added level of security where needed. The addition of an extra hinge enables tilt and turn double glazed windows to be opened to a limited degree. This adds more security as they can be locked securely in place when partially open to allow for cool air to enter the room.

To suit a period house in Kinross, there are also options for double glazed sash windows with a more traditional appearance. There are single hung versions where just one sash slides, and double hung models, where both panes are moveable. The sash windows of the past were renowned for their poor energy efficiency, but this problem has for the most part been reduced with modern day double glazed designs, and with regards to thermal loss, there is hardly any difference between casement and sash windows nowadays.

Bay windows look fantastic and can bring a sense of space to a room. If you've got an existing bay window it's feasible to change it for an equivalent double glazed unit to keep the style. The benefit of a bay window is the huge amount of light it allows into a room, and if you've got a sill that is sufficiently deep on the interior side, it's an ideal place to install a window seat.

Today's double glazed units can be manufactured in virtually any colour you desire through the use of uPVC materials. It is also possible to have wooden frames for a classic look, or aluminium for a more modern feel. Easily coloured to suit your property, aluminium units no longer have to be a grey, dull and bland like they used to be.

All new double glazed frames should come with a CE approval mark. This proves the standard of the frame and the glass and the mark should be visible on the inside of the sealed glass panel and on the frame. All doors and windows manufactured in Great Britain and the EU, must be marked with the CE logo. Ensure that your Kinross double glazing firm is using CE approved materials in the manufacture of it's windows, otherwise they might be made to less stringent standards and with cheaper materials and components. It's best to always insist that the company only uses double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a guarantee or warranty.

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 wonderful way to give your cat the freedom to enter and exit the house as they please, without you having to continuously open and shut the door again and again.

However, it's important to be aware that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a DIY job, and that the services of a specialist should be sought. This is a complex process that requires specialised tools and equipment. If you lack experience in this sort of work, it is advisable to hire a professional cat flap fitter.

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 pick one that is the best fit for your needs. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock or a microchip reader.

Having chosen a cat flap, contact a specialist cat flap installer. 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 fitter will order a new double glazing unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap.

The cat flap fitter will return to your home in Kinross 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, ensuring that the integrity of the unit isn't compromised and that the cat flap is installed correctly.

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