Double Glazing St Austell

Double Glazing St Austell Cornwall (PL25): Double glazing can enhance your home's energy efficiency, improve security and reduce noise levels. These windows are manufactured using two panes of glass with a gas filled medium, commonly argon, trapped between them, hence the expression 'double glazing'. Acting as insulation, this inert gas delivers excellent thermal and sound proofing qualities for any home or property.

If your home in St Austell is already fitted with older double glazed windows, and you're faced with problems such as condensation or draughts, it may be a good idea to now get some new replacement double glazing to get your building up-to-date.

If your St Austell home currently has single glazing, upgrading to double glazing will see immediate improvements in the warmth and insulation from outside noises. Upgrading to double glazed windows can also add extra value to your property, which will obviously be advantageous if you later decide to sell up and relocate.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

To find double glazed windows that satisfy your choice of style and match your property, you should use a competent double glazing fitter in the St Austell area. From contemporary patio doors and casement windows to period sash windows for older houses, double glazed frames can be found in a whole host of colours, sizes and materials.

Double glazing casement windows are hinged to one side and can be made to open inwards or outwards. This gives a good amount of airflow in the warm summer months and permits easier cleaning. Tilt and turn casement windows can also be purchased for use where security is important. Enabling them to open slightly, tilt and turn windows have a supplementary hinge. Increased security results, because to let cool air to flow into the room, they can be locked firmly in place when partially open.

To complement an older or period house in St Austell, you can also buy double glazed sash windows with a more traditional look. These can be single hung, where only one pane moves, or double hung, where both of the sashes can be slid open. The sash windows of the past were renowned for their poor energy efficiency, however this issue has been largely reduced with modern double glazed models, and when it comes to thermal losses, there's very little between sash and casement windows these days.

Helping to bring a feeling of space to a room, bay windows look awesome. If you have an existing bay window it's feasible to change it for a double glazed equivalent to maintain the style. The huge amount of light that it allows into a room, is the good thing about a bay window, and it is the ideal place to install a window seat if you've got a deep sill on the inside.

Today's double glazed units can be produced in virtually any colour you desire by using uPVC materials. For a traditional look you could also have wooden frames, or for that modern feel even opt for aluminium frames. Aluminium units no longer have to be a dull, grey and rather bland looking frame for your windows, and can readily be coloured to blend in with your home.

All new double glazed frames must display the CE approval mark. This mark is proof of the standard of both the frame and the glass, and should be visible on the frame itself and inside the sealed glass panel. For all doors and windows produced in the UK and within Europe, the CE logo is a legal requirement. If your double glazing firm in St Austell does not use CE approved components they could perhaps be made using less stringent standards of production and poor quality materials. Even though these might be acceptable for some uses, it is best to insist on only using double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a warranty.

An installation time frame can then be arranged between you and the company, which needs to include provision for planning permission applications where necessary.

It's possible that you might require planning permission if your home has a restrictive covenant, is close to a National Park, is listed or is in a conservation area. Having previously done work in the St Austell area, a reputable double glazing company will understand the legal requirements and necessities, and will be able to advise you on any local restrictions.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

Have you considered putting in a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a cat? This is a superb way to allow your cat to come and go as they wish, without you having to continually open and shut the door for them.

Installing a cat flap in double glazing isn't a DIY job, so it's important to keep this in mind. Specialised equipment and tools are required for this complex process. Unless you are experienced 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 a cat flap that is the right size for your cat and has 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. Some features you might want to consider include a microchip reader or a lock. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock to stop other animals from entering your home, or a cat flap with a microchip reader to allow only your cat to enter your house.

After choosing a cat flap, you need to contact a specialist cat flap fitter. They'll visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space where the cat flap will be installed. They can also provide you with advice on the best type of cat flap for your needs.

The cat flap installer will order a new double glazing unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap to ensure correct installation and maintain the unit's integrity.

The cat flap installer will return to your home in St Austell 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 fitter then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double glazing unit, ensuring that the integrity of the unit isn't compromised and that the cat flap is installed correctly.

Finally, the flap installer will test the flap to ensure that it is working properly. They will also show you how to use the device and how to adjust the settings. (13805 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
