It is that time of year again when the weather is warmer and things need to be done around the house and garden. This would also be the best time to call in the professionals to install secondary double glazing sash windows for you. New units will have to be fitted if you choose the double glaze option.
In colder climates, having secondary or double glazed ones is essential. Trying to cope in the icy winter months with single glazed models will make winter a very miserable time in your life. There will be many older folk and young children who may die if temperatures drop to well below freezing as they do in some countries in single glazed homes.
Open-able panels can be either side hung casement, horizontal or vertical sliding sashes. These make it possible to get to the outside window to clean them. Letting fresh air in is made easier by being able to open it and let fresh air in.
People also use anthracite and coal in fireplaces which will burn for a lot longer than wood. Lower income group folk may even find these means of keeping a fire going pricey. If they could come up with some extra money it would pay them to have more glaze on their window frames.
The only time one would need planning permission for this would be if the house was situated within a conservation area. For listed buildings, the total replacement of a window is likely to require Listed Building Consent. Being aware of these regulations before you start will save problems with the authorities. If a homeowner is going to take the time to prepare the window for another application, he would have to be aware of certain precautions.
Most of the Victorian homes still have the originals in place today. Modern ones could need replacement within 20 years. Making sure the ones in your home are maintained regularly, which improves their visual character and can add to its value. Installing secondary double glazing sash windows will be a favorable addition should your home ever go on the market.
