Double Glazing Stornoway

Double Glazing Stornoway Scotland (HS1): Double glazing can reduce noise levels, enhance your home's energy efficiency and boost security. These windows are made using 2 panes of glass with a gas filled layer, commonly argon, between them, thus the term 'double glazing'. This gas acts as an insulating material and provides tremendous sound proofing and thermal qualities for any property in Stornoway.

If your home in Stornoway is already fitted with older double glazed windows, and you're dealing with issues such as draughts or condensation, now would be a good time to get some new replacement double glazing to get your property back in shape.

Immediate improvements in the warmth and soundproofing will be noticed if your home in Stornoway has windows with single glazing and you switch to double glazing. You may also boost the value of your property (if you decide to sell), by upgrading to double glazing.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

To find double glazed windows that match your choice and complement your home, you can hire a specialist double glazing fitter in the Stornoway area. Whether you're searching for modern casement windows and patio doors, or period sash windows for an older house in Stornoway, double glazed units can be found in a whole host of colours, sizes and materials to match your needs.

Double glazing casement windows have hinges on one side and can open inwards or outwards. This delivers plenty of airflow in the summer season and enables easier cleaning. If security is important to you, double glazed casement windows can also be purchased in a tilt and turn pattern. The addition of an extra hinge permits tilt and turn double glazed windows to be opened to a limited degree. Increased security is the result, because to let a fresh breeze to flow into the room, they can be locked into position when partly open.

Double glazed sash windows with a more tradition appearance can be purchased to match older and period homes in Stornoway. There are single hung models where only one pane slides, and double hung designs, where both sashes slide. During the past sash windows were not noted for being energy efficient, but modern double glazing models have alleviated this problem and now there's practically nothing between sash windows and casement windows when it comes to thermal loss.

Another option may be a bay window, which looks wonderful and helps to bring a feeling of space to even the smallest of rooms. If your property in Stornoway is already fitted with bay windows, they can fairly easily be replaced with similar double glazed units. The benefit of a bay window is the huge amount of light it lets into a room, and if you have a deep sill on the interior side, it is the perfect place to have a window seat installed.

With the development uPVC materials, pretty much any colour is possible in today's double glazed frames. You can also have timber frames for a classic feel, or aluminium frames for a more modern effect. Aluminium frames no longer have to be a grey, dull and bland looking frame for your double glazing, and can readily be coloured to blend in with your property.

You should be able to find the CE mark on any new double glazing that is installed in Stornoway homes. This proves the quality of the frame and the glass and the CE mark should be visible inside the sealed glass panel and on the frame. The CE logo is a necessity for all windows and doors produced in the United Kingdom and within Europe. Make sure your double glazing company in Stornoway is using CE approved materials for manufacturing it's doors and windows, otherwise they may be made to less rigorous standards and with cheaper components and materials. It's best to always insist that the company only uses double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a guarantee or warranty.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

You might have pondered the possibility of fitting a cat flap in your double glazing, if you have a cat. This can be a great way to give your cat the freedom to come and go as they wish, without you having to constantly open and shut the door for them.

It's important to remember, however, that installing a cat flap in double glazing isn't a do-it-yourself task. This is a complex procedure that requires specialised equipment and tools. If you lack experience in this kind of work, it is advisable to hire a professional cat flap fitter.

How to install a cat flap in double glazing:

The first step is to choose the right cat flap. There are a variety of cat flaps available on the market, so it is important to pick one that is the right size for your cat and that has the features that you need. For example, you may want a cat flap with a lock or a microchip reader.

Having chosen a cat flap, contact a professional cat flap installer. They will visit your home to assess the situation and measure the space for the cat flap installation. They can also advise you on the best style of cat flap for your needs.

The cat flap installer will then order a new double glazing 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 installer will return to your home in Stornoway to install the new double glazing unit once it has been delivered. This involves removing the old double glazing 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.

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