Double Glazing Sawbridgeworth

Double Glazing Sawbridgeworth Hertfordshire (CM21): The installation of double glazing can help to improve security, reduce noise and raise the energy efficiency of your Sawbridgeworth home. The expression double glazing basically relates to the method of making these windows using twin panes of glass, with a gas filled layer between them (commonly argon). This inert gas acts as an insulating material and delivers outstanding thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home or property in Sawbridgeworth.

The time may have come to look at upgrading your windows, if you've already got older double glazing in your house in Sawbridgeworth but have been dealing with problems, like condensation between the panels or draughts.

If your Sawbridgeworth property currently has single glazed windows, the switch to double glazed windows will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. You may also raise the value of your home (if you elect to sell), by making the upgrade to double glazing.

DOUBLE GLAZED WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

You can find a professional window installer in the Sawbridgeworth area who'll be able to source windows to match the style of your choice, and that perfectly complement your property. Double glazed units can be purchased in a wide selection of sizes, materials and colours, to suit modern patio doors and casement windows to traditional sash windows for older houses.

Hinged on one side, double glazing casement windows can be made to open inwards or outwards depending on their design. This gives ample airflow in the warm summer months and allows for easier cleaning. Casement windows can also come in a tilt and turn design for added security. Tilt and turn windows have an additional hinge to be able to open slightly. This adds extra security as they can be locked securely into position when only partly open to allow for a cool breeze to enter the room.

Double glazed sash windows with a more tradition look are available to complement older or period properties in Sawbridgeworth. These can be single hung, where just one sash moves, or double hung, where both of the panes can be slid open. Sash windows were not noted for being energy efficient in the past, but these days there's virtually nothing between the thermal losses of casement and sash windows, as modern double glazing designs have reduced this issue.

An alternative may be a bay window, which looks awesome and helps to bring a feeling of space to even the smallest of rooms. If your Sawbridgeworth property has an existing bay window, exchanging it for an equivalent double glazed unit shouldn't be a problem. The huge amount of light that it lets into a room, is the main advantage of a bay window, and it's a great place to have a window seat installed if you have a deep sill on the inside.

With the use of uPVC materials, modern double glazing units can be made in pretty much any colour. For a classic look you can also have timber frames, or for that modern feel even pick aluminium frames. Today's aluminium frames can easily be coloured to match your home and no longer have to be a bland, grey and rather dull looking frame for your windows.

All new double glazed frames must come with a CE approval mark. This mark is proof of the quality of both the frame and the glass, and should be visible on the frame itself and on the inside of the sealed glass panel. All doors and windows manufactured in the UK and the EU, must be marked with the CE logo. If CE approved materials aren't used by your double glazing specialist in Sawbridgeworth, they might be using cheaper components and making their windows and doors using less rigorous standards. Even though these lower quality frames may be OK in some situations, you should always insist on guaranteed double glazing with CE approval for your home in Sawbridgeworth.

THE INSTALLATION OF REPLACEMENT DOUBLE GLAZING IN SAWBRIDGEWORTH

An excellent starting point when searching for a double glazing specialist in Sawbridgeworth is to ask friends or acquaintances for recommendations. Word of mouth recommendations provide a perception of how a company works and can be priceless when trying to find companies to provide you with an estimate. It's best to contact at least three different companies when getting estimates for double glazing in Sawbridgeworth. A free, no obligation quote will be provided by a trustworthy double glazing fitter, so that you are able to choose the right solution for your needs. Accurate measurements of your door and window frames will be obtained by the salesperson, so you will receive an exact price for the work. If you're having your entire house in Sawbridgeworth double glazed, bear in mind that there might be a little room for negotiation.

When you're satisfied with a price you've been quoted, and have decided on which company in Sawbridgeworth to use, your brand new double glazed doors and windows will be made-to-measure at the factory. According to the amount of windows you need, the opening options, your frame type and the design of window, this could take anywhere from several days to a few weeks. The time frame for installation can then be arranged and will include the need for applying for planning permission if required.

It is possible that you might need to apply for planning permission if your property has a restrictive covenant, is close to a National Park, is listed or is in a conservation area. An experienced double glazing company will be able to advise you on any restrictions and will likely have already undertaken work in the area, and should understand the legal necessities and requirements.

The installation time of your windows will of course be determined by how many windows are being installed. A decent installer will fit a modern double glazed window frame in under 3 hours. Taking out the old window will be included in this time frame, as will preparing the hole that the new window sits in. An average home can be finished within a couple of days with minimal disruption to you.

DOUBLE GLAZING ACCREDITATIONS

An experienced double glazing specialist should be associated with at least one trade organisation or body such as FENSA, Trustmark, the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) or the DGCOS (Double Glazing Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme) to name a few.

The Benefits of Double Glazing in Sawbridgeworth

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.

Another advantage of double glazing is its ability to reduce condensation. This is because of the airtight seal between the two panes of glass. This barrier prevents air from escaping and prevents mould from forming. While mould is unsightly, it can also be uncomfortable. Furthermore, condensation makes a room feel cold. Double glazing reduces this problem by making a room feel cozier and more comfortable.

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.

Double glazing can also increase the value of your home. Many homebuyers look for properties that don't require extensive renovation. It can also reduce noise levels, which are important to homeowners who want to sell their home.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

Have you considered putting in a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a cat? This can be a fantastic way to give your cat the freedom to come and go as they wish, without you constantly having to open and close the door for them.

However, it is important to note that installing a cat flap in double glazing is not a do-it-yourself task, and that the services of a professional should be sought. Specialised equipment and tools are essential for this complex process. Unless you are experienced in this kind of work, it is best to hire a specialist cat flap fitter.

How to install a cat flap in double glazing:

When choosing a cat flap, it is important to consider the size of your cat and the features you need. There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, so you can choose one that is the best fit for your needs. 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 installer 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 type of cat flap for your needs.

The cat flap installer will then order a new double-glazed unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap. This will ensure that the cat flap is installed correctly and that the integrity of the double-glazed unit is not compromised.

The cat flap specialist will return to your home in Sawbridgeworth to install the new double glazing unit once it has been delivered. This involves removing the old double-glazed unit and installing the new one. The cat flap specialist then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double glazing unit, ensuring proper installation and maintaining the unit's integrity.

To ensure your knowledge and confidence in operating the cat flap, the flap specialist will test it to ensure its proper operation and demonstrate its usage and settings. (13805 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
