Double Glazed Windows

Windows can give character to the exterior or interior of a home and also allow for lighting and ventilation. They also serve important practical functions, like noise reduction and draught-proofing. They can make your home warmer during winter and cooler during summer, saving energy and reducing utility costs. But the arrangement of windows in a home is essential to the overall look and feel of a structure. Glaziers and window companies are experts in helping homeowners choose the ideal windows for their house.

Double glazing is comprised of two glass panes separated by an air or gas-filled gap. This creates an insulating barrier that reduces heat loss and also reflects the sun's heat (for upgraded units). Double-glazed windows do not just improve comfort, but they also provide better security and protection from the weather. But like any windows, they are susceptible to being damaged by storms, or if the glass is damaged or misted. Fortunately, double glazing repairs are relatively easy to undertake.

Regular maintenance is crucial to maintaining efficiency and longevity in uPVC or double-glazed windows made of aluminium. Window experts recommend that you have your windows inspected at least once a year for indications of damage, seal failure or broken glass. A professional technician can assess the condition of the window frames and replace damaged panels as needed. They can also repair or replace sash cords and handles as well as locks and locks to ensure smooth operation of the windows.

Sliding Folding Doors that Slide

Sliding folding doors provide the best of both worlds when you are looking to create a seamless transition between your house's interior and exterior. The sliding doors are available in many finishes and can be opened and closed just like regular windows. They blend seamlessly into any modern or period home. They're also extremely energy efficient, which reduces the amount of heat lost through the glass of your home.

You can choose between triple stackers that can be up to 8 meters wide, bi-passing stackers that each panel moves independently of the others and foldback designs where the panels can be folded flat against the cladding of your home to create an open doorway. You can also have doors made to a specific dimension and layout - ranging from two to 10 panels.

The cost of these doors varies widely depending on the design you choose and the material you select (uPVC is generally cheaper than aluminium) and the configuration of the opening you want. Comparing apples to apples is a good way to get a good idea of the price if you compare quotes from different companies for the same design.

In general, the installation of new sliding doors is considered permitted development (PD) that means that planning permission should not be required unless you reside in a listed house or in a conservation zone. However, if you're adding bi-fold doors on a period property, you might need to seek approved building permits before you can begin any work. This is especially the case in the event that you wish to alter the appearance of your door to make it less obvious or to make it blend with other features. If this is the scenario, you'll need an expert survey completed before you proceed.

Misty Units

Misted windows occur when moisture enters the space between the two panes glass that make up the double glazed unit. This prevents natural light from entering the room and obscures external views. It is cheaper to replace the window frame rather than to replace the blown sealed units.

If the seal breaks or fails, it allows air from outside to get into the gap in between your glass panes. The air is usually warmer than the glass, which can lead to condensation. This can be extremely unappealing and is the main reason why we suggest that you replace the damaged units as soon as possible.

Some companies may suggest that they repair your windows that are misting by drilling a hole into the glass and blowing in warm air to remove the condensation. This is not recommended since it will usually just cause the problem to recur as the seal has been compromised.
