Double Glazed Windows

Windows add a great deal of personality to the exterior and interior of homes, letting light in whilst providing ventilation. However, they also play a vital role in practical aspects such as draught proofing or noise reduction. They can make your home warmer in the winter months and cooler in summer, which saves energy and reducing the cost of utility bills. However, the arrangement of windows in a house is essential to the overall appearance and feel of a building. Glaziers and window companies are experts in helping homeowners select the best windows for their home.

Double glazing is constructed with two glass panes, separated by a gap filled with air or gas to create an insulating barrier that minimizes heat loss, while reflecting potential heat gain from sunlight (for uprated units). Double-glazed windows do not just improve comfort, but they also offer better security and protection from weather. But like any windows, they can be damaged by storms, or if the glass is cracked or misted. Fortunately, repairs to double glazing are relatively easy to undertake.

Regular maintenance is essential to maintaining efficiency and longevity in uPVC or double-glazed windows made of aluminium. Window experts suggest that you check your windows every year, at a minimum, for signs of damage, seal failure or broken glass. A trained technician can evaluate the condition of your frames of your windows and replace damaged panels as required. They can also replace or repair sash cords, locks and handles to ensure the smooth operation of your windows.

Sliding Sliding Folding Doors

Sliding folding doors offer the best of both worlds if you want to create a seamless transition inside and outside your home. They are available in many finishes and can be closed and opened just like regular windows. They blend seamlessly into any modern or period property. They are also energy efficient and help reduce the amount of heat lost through your windows.

You can pick between triple stackers that can be up to 8 metres wide, bi-passing stackers where each panel moves independently of the others, and folding designs where the stacked panels can be folded flat against the cladding of your home to provide a totally open doorway. You can also have doors built to a particular size and configuration - between two and 10 panels.

The cost of these door is dependent on the design, the material (uPVC tends to be cheaper than aluminum) and the configuration of the opening that you need. Comparing apples to apples, you can get a good idea of the cost if you compare estimates from different companies with the same design.

In general the installation of new sliding doors is a permitted development (PD) which means that planning permission should not be required unless you reside in a listed home or an area of conservation. On the other hand If you're planning to add bi-fold doors on a period home, you may have to obtain approved building permits before any work is done. This can be particularly true if you're changing the appearance of your doors to make them look less obvious or to make them more compatible with existing features. You'll need an expert survey if this is the situation.

Misted Units

When moisture seeps between the two panes of the double glazed unit, misted windows can occur. This blocks sunlight from entering the room, and obscures views of the outside. It is cheaper to replace the window frame than to replace the blown sealed units.

If the seal is damaged or fails it allows air from outside to enter the gap between your glass panes. This air is often a different temperature than the glass, which can result in condensation. This can be extremely unappealing and is one of the reasons why we recommend that you replace your broken units as soon as possible.

We can replace double glazed units quickly and at a reasonable price. We can also perform complete window replacements when needed.

Some companies may suggest that they repair your windows that have become misty by drilling a hole in the glass and blowing warm air to remove the condensation, this is not recommended as it is likely to result in the problem recurring since the seal has been breached.
