Double Glazing Oadby Leicestershire (LE2): The installation of double glazing can help to boost security, reduce noise and raise the energy efficiency of your home in Oadby. Double glazing refers to the way a window is made using 2 panes of glass with a gas filled medium, typically argon, between them. Acting like an insulating material, this gas delivers effective sound proofing and thermal qualities for any home.
The time may have come to consider replacing your windows, if you've already got older double glazed windows in your home in Oadby but are living with issues, like condensation between the glass panes or draughts.
Condensation is caused by a small gap occurring in the sealed unit and enabling warm air from inside the house to enter the gap between the panes. Moisture forms as the heated air makes contact with the cooler external pane of glass, with the result that you have a condensation issue. If this is happening regularly it is probably time to change your existing windows.
If your Oadby home currently has single glazing, the switch to double glazed windows will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. You may also increase the value of your home (should you opt to sell), by making the upgrade to double glazed windows.

Double glazing frames can be bought in a large selection of sizes, materials and colours, to match period sash windows for older homes, to modern patio doors and casement windows.
Hinged on one side, double glazed casement windows can be made to open outwards or inwards depending on the design. This means that they're easily cleaned, and can provide a good amount of airflow during the summertime. They are also available in a tilt and turn arrangement which adds another degree of security where essential. Allowing them to open a small amount, tilt and turn double glazed windows have an additional hinge. Improved security results, because to let a fresh breeze to flow into the room, they can be locked into position when partially open.
To suit an older or period home in Oadby, there are also options for double glazing sash windows with a more traditional look. There are double hung styles where both of the sashes can be moved, and single hung styles where just one pane can be slid open. The sash windows of the past had a reputation for poor standard of energy efficiency, however this problem has been largely lessened with contemporary double glazing designs, and with regards to thermal loss, there's very little difference between casement and sash windows nowadays.
