If you have already got older style double glazing in your home in Linlithgow but are faced with problems, such as condensation between the glass panes or draughts, the time may have come to think about replacing your windows.

Double Glazing Linlithgow Scotland (EH49)

Condensation in the gap between the panes is caused when holes appear in the seal around the glass and warm air enters from inside the house. As the warm air comes into contact with the cooler external pane of glass, moisture is formed, with condensation as the result. If this is happening frequently the time may have come to upgrade your existing windows.

An immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing will be noticed if your property in Linlithgow has single glazed windows and you upgrade them to double glazed units. Upgrading to double glazed windows can also help to increase the value of your property when you choose to sell.

Double glazed casement windows are hinged to one side and can open inwards or outwards. This permits easier cleaning and also gives plenty of airflow during the summer. They're also available in a tilt and turn set up which adds another level of security where essential. Tilt and turn double glazed windows have an additional hinge to be able to open slightly. This adds extra security as they can be locked securely into position when partially open to enable cool air to enter the room.

Double glazing sash windows with a traditional appearance can be purchased to match older or period houses in Linlithgow. These can be double hung, where both sashes can be opened, or single hung, where only one sash is moveable.
