Window manufacturers Plymouth - GW Glass.

If you have found yourself shivering in your home, it may be time to think about improving your windows.

We manufacture the following types of windows:

• Sealed Units
• Double Glazed Units
• Stained Glass Windows
  

Not only are windows very good at letting in light, they are unfortunately also very good at letting out heat.

About a quarter of all the heat lost from your house escapes through the windows, but with GW Glass, this can be dramatically reduced by us fitting double glazing. This is where we replace the one pane of glass with twin panes.

Because the inner pane is relatively warm a double glazed window dramatically reduces cold down-draughts, and also suffers much less from condensation than a single glazed one.

Two methods are commonly used for double glazing windows. In the first new frames are fitted with sealed unit double glazing consisting of two panes of glass.

In the second, existing single glazed windows are fitted with secondary glazing which is a second separate pane of glass or other clear sheet of material installed in the room side of the window.

in the long run it is better to replace the entire window rather than to reglaze an old frame. You can install sealed units in some existing single glazed window frames, but replacing it is generally quicker and better.

We can use glass, clear rigid plastic sheeting or renewable plastic film to create fixed secondary glazing.

However, if the first two materials are fixed to the window frame rather than to individual sashes or casements, they can prevent the window from being opened for ventilation, or more importantly, from being used in an emergency as a fire escape.

GW Glass and Clare Windows bare all this in mind when we are installing double Glazing for you.
