Double Glazing Tilehurst

Double Glazing Tilehurst Berkshire (RG31): The installation of double glazing in your home in Tilehurst, will reduce noise, improve security and enhance your home's energy efficiency. Double glazing describes the way a window is made using two panes of glass with a gas layer, generally argon, between them. Because it acts like an insulating material, this gas provides a property with effective sound proofing and thermal qualities.

If you have already got older style double glazing in your house in Tilehurst but are living with issues, like condensation between the panes or draughts, the time might have come to consider updating your windows.

If your Tilehurst home has single glazed windows, changing to double glazed windows will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and soundproofing. Making the upgrade to double glazed windows can also help to improve you home's value if you opt to sell.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW STYLES AND MATERIALS

You can find a professional installer in the Tilehurst area who will be able to source windows to match the style of your choice, and that perfectly complement your home. Whether you are searching for traditional sash windows for an older house in Tilehurst, or contemporary casement windows and patio doors, double glazing units can be bought in many different sizes, materials and colours to match your needs.

Having hinges on one side only, double glazed casement windows can open inwards or outwards depending on the design. This means that they're easily cleaned, and offer the possibility of adequate airflow during the summer season. If security is vital to you, casement windows are also available in a tilt and turn pattern. Allowing them to be opened slightly, tilt and turn double glazed windows have an additional hinge. This adds extra security as they can be locked firmly in position when partially open to allow for a cool breeze to flow into the room.

To suit an older or period house in Tilehurst, there are also options for double glazing sash windows with a more traditional appearance. These can be single hung, where just one sash moves, or double hung, where both sashes can be slid open. Sash windows were not renowned for their energy efficiency in past times, but these days there is very little between the thermal losses of casement and sash windows, as contemporary double glazing designs have reduced this problem.

Bay windows look wonderful and can bring a sense of space to a room. If you have an existing bay window it's feasible to replace it with a double glazed equivalent to keep the style. Bay windows bring lots of style and character to a home, but the main advantage is the quantity of light that they allow into a room. A further benefit is having the opportunity to put in a window seat, if the sill is deep enough on the interior side of the window.

By using uPVC materials, modern day double glazing window frames can be made in virtually any colour. For a classic look you can also have wooden frames, or for a more contemporary feel even pick aluminium. Readily coloured to blend in with your property, aluminium windows no longer have to be a dull, bland and grey like they were in the 1970s and 80s.

You should be able to find the CE mark on any new double glazing that is installed in Tilehurst homes. This mark proves the standard of both the frame and the glass, and should be visible on the frame itself and inside the sealed glass unit. All windows and doors produced in Britain and within Europe, must display the CE logo. If CE approved materials are not used by your double glazing firm in Tilehurst, they may be using poor quality components and making their windows and doors using less rigorous standards. It is better to always insist on only using products that come with a CE approval and are backed by a guarantee or warranty.

REPLACEMENT DOUBLE GLAZING IN TILEHURST

A good starting point when searching for a decent double glazing company in Tilehurst is to ask friends or acquaintances for recommendations. This can be valuable when trying to find companies to provide you with a double glazing price quote, and word of mouth testimonials can often provide an insight into how a company works. When asking for double glazing quotations in Tilehurst, always go to at least three different companies, to get a selection of prices. A free, no obligation quote will be provided by a professional double glazing installer, so that you are able to choose the right solution for your home. Precise measurements of your window and door frames will be taken by the salesperson, so that you'll get an accurate price for the task. It is always a wise idea to bear in mind that there might be some room for negotiation on the price, if your whole property in Tilehurst is going to be double glazed.

As soon as you've chosen your preferred double glazing specialist in Tilehurst and have agreed a price for your windows and doors, they'll be custom made in your desired style and colour. Depending on your frame type, the opening options, the amount of windows you need and the style of window, this could take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. An installation time frame can then be arranged between you and the company, which should include provision for planning permission applications when necessary.

You might require planning permission if your home is in a conservation area, has a restrictive covenant, is a listed building or is close to a National Park. A reputable double glazing firm will advise you of any local restrictions and will likely have already done work in the area, and so will understand the legal necessities and requirements.

The installation time of your double glazing will of course depend on how many windows and doors are being installed. It usually takes approximately 3 hours to install a regular double glazed window. This time also includes taking out the old window, and carefully preparing the space into which the new window will sit. In a day or so, an average home in Tilehurst can be finished with very little disruption to you and your family.

DOUBLE GLAZING ACCREDITATIONS

A competent double glazing firm should be registered with at least one industry organisation or body such as the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF), the DGCOS (Double Glazing Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme), Trustmark or FENSA to name but a few.

Whilst these associations do not necessarily mean that nothing will go wrong during the installation of new doors and windows, it does show that the company is experienced, qualified and observes building regulations, which is a legal requirement.

If there is any disagreement between the two parties, these trade bodies offer some form of guarantee or compensation schemes, in addition to company warranty, and offer impartial mediation where required. Of course, most double glazing installations in Tilehurst are completed with no issues, however it is good to know that help can be sought when it's required.

AFTERCARE AND AFTER SALES SUPPORT

Even if the process has gone smoothly during your window installation there might be questions that need to be asked or advice needed afterwards. Your double glazed windows should come with a comprehensive warranty of up to ten years, and many double glazing specialists in Tilehurst will also provide a troubleshooting and callout service should anything go wrong with your new windows or doors. It is advisable to check this out beforehand to see if there's a free repair and callout period as part of the warranty.

Installing Cat Flaps in Double Glazing

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 for them.

It's important to remember that installing a cat flap in double glazing isn't a DIY task, and should be carried out by a professional. Specialised equipment and tools are required for this complex procedure. It is best to hire a professional cat flap fitter if you do not have the necessary experience for this type of work.

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 prevent other animals from entering your home.

Once you've chosen a cat flap, a professional 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 then order a new double-glazed unit with a hole cut out for the cat flap. This will make certain that the cat flap is installed correctly and that the integrity of the double glazing unit is not compromised.

Once the new double glazing unit has arrived, the cat flap specialist will revisit your home in Tilehurst to install it. This involves removing the old double-glazed unit and replacing it with the new one. The cat flap installer then installs the cat flap in the hole cut into the double-glazed unit.

The flap fitter will test the flap to ensure its proper functioning and demonstrate its usage and settings, providing you with the knowledge and confidence to operate the cat flap independently. (13805 - Cat Flaps in Double Glazing)
