Latest "double glazing wales" Information

Low E glass is a form of glass which when added to double glazing allows you to save even more energy. Typically double glazing using Low-E glass has energy conservation properties as good as normal triple glazing but without the 50% increase in weight.

Is it possible to repair units that have misted up, or need to be replaced altogether? Can the glass which has misted up be used again, or does it become useless? Once the glass unit has broken down (misted up) it is no longer any use, you can not repair it. it needs to be replace with a new unit.

Fitting double-glazing in replacement windows will provide some sound insulation. However if your primary motivation for fitting double-glazing is to reduce sound then secondary glazing, where you fit a new single glazed frame in front of the existing (prime) window frame, will be better. The greater the "air gap" the better the sound insulation.

"Are there any GOOD double glazing companies?" The answer to this is no. There are some truly awful national companies - [Safestyle and Coldseal (now gone - thank the Lord) are two good examples] however the industry seems to operate according to its own set of peculiar rules which I'm sure most customers find rather disconcerting and unattractive (and which I'm sure do more harm than good to company profits in the long run). Examples are, list prices which bear no relation to actual costs, this price only holds tonight' approaches, other high pressure sales techniques, salespeople who lie, disrespect for property at fitting & poor after sales service.

Snowglobes are those things you buy from tourist shops with models of e.g the Eiffel Tower or the Parthenon inside. You shake them and it sort of looks like it's snowing. This would be liquid- filled double glazing. Plastic 'snow' would fall through the clear liquid to the bottom and pumped back up the top through a pipe running down the side of the window panel. To imagine what it would look like, think of one of those early films where snow was applied as a special effect during editing and it looks like a thin sheet of snow is falling between you and the character.

Double glazing can be expensive. But if it's a good job, it can help you cut down on your heating costs. Unfortunately, there are some bad jobs and complaints about double glazing still arise. What The Law Says? A double glazing contractor is providing a service and so his work must be done with reasonable skill and care. The glass and frames must be of satisfactory quality, fit for any specified purpose and as described. Unless you agreed a price before he started his work, the contractor must charge only what is reasonable. Where no time limit was agreed in advance, the work should be finished within a reasonable time.

The special character of many traditional properties in Southend Borough has been spoilt by the unsympathetic installation of double glazing, in an attempt to make saving on heating bills. However double glazing in old houses is rarely economical unless the existing frames are so badly damaged or rotten that replacement is essential. In older properties secondary glazing is often a cheaper, more feasible and a far more acceptable alternative to sealed double glazing units. It solves the problems of heat escaping and draughts, whilst the outside of the property remains unspoiled. Draughtproofing is another effective and inexpensive way of reducing draughts from period windows, while still retaining their special character.

OFT imposes fines for double glazing price fixing cartel but grants leniency to whistle-blowers. The OFT has concluded that five companies operating in the double glazing product market have been party to an overall price fixing arrangement where a number of sub-agreements or concerted practices were held to form part of a common plan. Three of the parties benefited from the OFT's leniency programme for having acted as whistle-blowers.

PRACTICAL STUDIO SOUNDPROOFING: If you don't have double glazing, your windows will almost certainly be the biggest cause of sound leakage. Even double-glazed units are of limited use, and will leak far more sound than the surrounding walls, so additional internal glazing behind the original windows is still strongly recommended
