The time might have come to look at updating your windows, if you've already got older style double glazed windows in your home in Lindfield but have been dealing with issues, like condensation between the panes or draughts.

Double Glazing Lindfield West Sussex (RH16)

Condensation occurs in the gap between the window panes when gaps appear in the sealed unit and heated air enters from inside the home. As the warmer air comes into contact with the colder outside pane of glass, moisture forms, with condensation as the result. It may be time to replace your current windows, if this is happening frequently.

If your Lindfield home currently has single glazed windows, changing to double glazing will see immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing. You could also increase your property's value (should you elect to sell), by making the upgrade to double glazed windows.

Hinged on one side, double glazed casement windows can be made to open outwards or inwards depending on the design. This gives ample airflow in the warm summer months and allows for easier cleaning. For extra security, casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn design. The addition of an extra hinge enables tilt and turn windows to open to a limited degree. Because they can be locked in place when partially open to allow for a cool breeze to flow into the room, the security is enhanced.

Double glazed sash windows with a traditional appearance can be purchased to match older and period properties in Lindfield. These can be double hung, where both of the panes can be slid open, or single hung, where only one sash moves. The sash windows of the past were renowned for their poor standard of energy efficiency, but this issue has been largely alleviated with modern double glazed models, and when it comes to thermal loss, there's hardly any difference between sash and casement windows nowadays.

Bay windows look amazing and can bring a feeling of space to a room. If your home in Lindfield already has bay windows, it should not be too difficult to replace them with double glazed equivalents.

The Benefits of Double Glazing in Lindfield

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

If you're a cat owner, you've probably thought about fitting a cat flap in your double glazing. This can be a fantastic way to give your cat the freedom to come and go as they wish, without you continually having to open and shut the door for them.

However, it's important to remember that installing a cat flap in double glazing isn't a job that can be done by yourself, and should be left to the specialists. Specialised tools and equipment are essential for this complex process. In the absence of experience in this kind of work, it is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter.

How to install a cat flap in double glazing:

The first step is to choose the right cat flap. There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, so it is important to choose one that is the right size for your cat and that has the features that you need. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock or a microchip reader.

Once a cat flap has been chosen, a professional cat flap fitter 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 sort 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.

Upon delivery of the new double-glazed unit, the cat flap fitter will return to your home in Lindfield to install it. This process entails removing the old double-glazed unit and replacing it with the new one. The cat flap installer then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double glazing unit.

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