Double Glazing Stroud

Double Glazing Stroud Gloucestershire (GL5): The installation of double glazing in your home in Stroud, can reduce noise levels, boost security and enhance your home's energy efficiency. These windows are created using two panes of glass with a gas filled medium, commonly argon, between them, thus the term 'double glazing'. Because it acts like an insulating material, this gas provides a property with excellent thermal and sound proofing qualities.

If you've already got older style double glazing in your property in Stroud but are experiencing issues, such as condensation between the panes or draughts, the time may have come to think about upgrading your windows.

Changing to double glazed units will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside sounds, if your home in Stroud has currently got windows with single glazing. Upgrading to double glazed windows could also add more value to your home, which will obviously be beneficial if you later opt to sell up and move.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

To find windows that match your choice of style and complement your home, you can hire a competent double glazing installer in the Stroud area. Double glazing units can be bought in a whole host of sizes, materials and colours, to match traditional sash windows for older houses, to modern patio doors and casement windows.

Having hinges on one side only, double glazing casement windows can be made to open outwards or inwards depending on their design. This allows for easier cleaning and also gives ample airflow during the summer months. They're also available in a tilt and turn set up which adds an extra level of security where required. Tilt and turn double glazed windows have an extra hinge to be able to open a small amount. As they can be locked securely into position when only partly open to allow for a fresh breeze to enter the room, the security is much better.

There are also available options for double glazing sash windows for a more traditional look that are suitable for a period house in Stroud. There are double hung models where both of the panes are moveable, and single hung designs where only one sash can be slid open. Sash windows were not renowned for their energy efficiency during the past, but today there's pretty much nothing between the thermal losses of casement and sash windows, as contemporary double glazed designs have reduced this problem.

Another alternative might be a bay window, which looks awesome and helps to bring a sense of space to even the smallest of rooms. If you have an existing bay window it is possible to replace it with an equivalent double glazed unit to keep the style. Bay windows bring lots of character and style to a property, but the main benefit is the amount of light that they let into a room. An extra benefit is being able to put in a window seat, if the sill is deep enough on the inside of the window.

Today's double glazed frames can be produced in almost any colour you desire with the use of uPVC materials. It's also possible to have wooden frames for a classic feel, or aluminium double glazing for a somewhat more contemporary effect. Modern aluminium windows can easily be coloured to match your property and no longer have to be a bland, grey and rather dull looking frame for your windows.

You must be able to spot the CE mark displayed on any modern double glazing that is installed in Stroud homes. This mark should be plainly visible on the inside of the sealed glass unit and on the frame, and proves the quality of both the frame and the glass. All windows and doors manufactured in the United Kingdom and the EU, must be marked with the CE logo. Make sure that your double glazing company in Stroud is using CE approved materials for manufacturing it's windows and doors, otherwise they may be made to less stringent standards and with poor quality components and materials. Although they might be adequate for certain uses, it's best to demand only using double glazing that comes with CE approval and is backed by a guarantee.
