Double Glazing Oxted

Double Glazing Oxted Surrey (RH8): You can reduce noise levels, enhance your home's energy efficiency and improve security by installing double glazing. These windows are made using twin panes of glass with a gas filled layer, typically argon, between them, hence the term 'double glazing'. As it behaves like insulation, this inert gas provides a property or home with impressive thermal and sound proofing qualities.

The time might have come to consider swapping your windows, if you have already got older double glazed windows in your property in Oxted but are dealing with issues, such as draughts or condensation between the panes.

If your Oxted home has single glazed windows, the switch to double glazing will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. Making the upgrade to double glazed windows could also help to improve the value of your property should you opt to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

By hiring a professional double glazing installer in Oxted, you should be able to get windows that both match the style of your choice and accentuate your property perfectly. Double glazed frames are available in a wide range of materials, sizes and colours, to suit contemporary patio doors and casement windows to traditional sash windows for older homes.

Opening outwards or inwards, double glazing casement windows have hinges on one side. This allows for easier cleaning and also gives ample airflow during the summer months. If security is vital to you, double glazed casement windows also come in a tilt and turn design. The addition of a supplementary hinge enables tilt and turn windows to open to a limited degree. Improved security is the result, because to let a cool breeze to flow into the room, they can be locked securely in place when only partly open.

For that classic look to complement a period home in Oxted, there are double glazed sash windows on offer. There are double hung designs where both of the sashes are moveable, and single hung versions where just one pane can be slid open. The sash windows of the past were known for their poor energy efficiency, however this issue has been largely reduced with modern day double glazing designs, and in relation to thermal loss, there is hardly any difference between sash and casement windows today.

Bay windows look great and can bring a sense of space to a room. If your home in Oxted has already got bay windows, you could replace them with double glazed equivalents. The huge amount of light that it allows into a room, is the main advantage of a bay window, and it is the ideal place to have a window seat installed if you have a deep sill on the interior side.

With the development uPVC materials, just about any colour you desire is possible in today's double glazed frames. It is also possible to have wooden frames for a traditional look, or aluminium double glazing for a more modern feel. Readily coloured to suit your home, aluminium frames no longer have to be a grey, dull and bland like they used to be.

All modern double glazing that is fitted in homes in Oxted should carry the CE approval mark. This proves the standard of the frame and of the glass and the CE mark should be plainly visible on the inside of the sealed glass panel and on the frame. The CE logo is a requirement for all doors and windows manufactured in the British Isles and the EU. If CE approved materials aren't used by your Oxted double glazing company, they may be using low quality components and making their doors and windows using less stringent specifications. While they may be acceptable for certain uses, it's better to demand only using products that come with a CE approval and are backed by a guarantee.

INSTALLATION OF REPLACEMENT DOUBLE GLAZING IN OXTED

Finding a good double glazing company in Oxted for your new windows can always begin with recommendations from family and friends. These kinds of word of mouth testimonials can be invaluable when searching for a company to give you a quote, and can often provide a good perception of the workings and reliability of a particular company. When asking for a quote for double glazing in Oxted, always try and contact at least three different companies. A free, no obligation quotation will be provided by a professional double glazing fitter, so that you are able to pick the perfect solution. Accurate measurements of your door and window frames will be obtained by the salesperson, so that you'll be given an exact price for the job. Remember, if you are having your entire property in Oxted double glazed, there may be a bit of room for negotiation on price.

When you're satisfied with a quoted price, and have made a decision on which company in Oxted to hire, your new double glazing windows and doors will be made-to-measure at the factory. This can take from several days to a few weeks subject to the design of window, the opening options, your frame type and the amount of doors and windows you need. The time frame for installation can then be arranged and must include the need for applying for planning permission if necessary.

You could need planning permission if your home is in a conservation area, is a listed building, is in an area such as the boundaries of a National Park or has a restrictive covenant. An experienced double glazing specialist will be happy to advise you about any restrictions and will likely have previously conducted work in the Oxted area, and will know the legal necessities and requirements.

The installation time of your double glazing will obviously depend on how many windows are being installed. It typically takes under three hours to put in a typical double glazed window unit. Removing the existing window is included in this time frame, as is preparing the opening to take the new window. In a couple of days, a normal house can be completed with very little disruption to you and your household.

DOUBLE GLAZING ACCREDITATIONS

Your selected double glazing company in Oxted should at least be a member of one recognised industry body such as the Glass and Glazing Federation, FENSA, Trustmark or the Double Glazing Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme.

While these trade bodies do not actually mean that nothing will go awry during the installation of new windows, it does show that the company is qualified, experienced and observes the appropriate building regulations, which is legally required.

These trade bodies also provide some form of compensation or guarantee schemes, along with the company guarantee, to make sure that if there is any conflict there is an independent mediation between the two parties. Even though nearly all double glazing projects in Oxted are completed with no problems, it's good to know that if help is necessary, it is easily obtainable.

If you're a cat owner, you've probably thought about fitting a cat flap in your double glazing. 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 repeatedly.

It's important to be aware that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a do-it-yourself task, and that a professional should be hired to carry out the work.

Once you've selected a cat flap, a specialist cat flap installer should be contacted. They will visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space for the cat flap. They can also advise you on the best sort of cat flap for your needs, taking into account your specific requirements.

The cat flap fitter will order a new double glazing unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap, thereby preserving the unit's integrity and ensuring the cat flap's proper installation.

The cat flap installer will return to your home in Oxted to install the new double glazing unit once it has been delivered.
