Evolution - Timber Alternative Windows and Doors

WOW! What a shining review from Mr Millen where we recently installed a house full of replacement windows and doors to his property in Sussex.

"I recently had my windows and front door replaced by R & D Goatley, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the service from the team had been exceptional.

First, the consultation process was smooth and informative. The team at R & D Goatley were incredibly knowledgeable and helped me choose the perfect windows and door to match my home's style and my personal preferences. This was a big job with 18 window replacements, some re-glazing panels, and a new front door. They took the time to explain all the options, and I never felt rushed or pressured, which was very important to us with such an investment.

The installation process was seamless and professional. The installers arrived on time, were courteous, and worked efficiently. They took great care to protect our home, laying down coverings to protect my floors and cleaning up thoroughly afterward.

The new windows are fantastic! They have completely transformed the look and feel of my home. I am looking forward to experiencing the energy efficiency come winter time, but we have already noticed a significant reduction in outside noise levels.

The new front door is a showstopper. It adds a touch of elegance and security to our home. The contemporary style and large bar handle works so well. We love the enhanced curb appeal and the peace of mind knowing that our home is more secure.

Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied with my new windows and door from R & D Goatley. The entire process exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend this company to anyone considering home improvements. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is truly commendable. My home feels refreshed and rejuvenated, and I am thrilled with the investment. Five stars all the way!"

Mr T. Millen.

Always great to receive reviews from our lovely customers, here's what Mr RS had to say about their experience when using our company for the replacement of their sash windows, we installed the Masterframe Bygone Harmony range of sash windows and Evolution 'timber alterntive' french doors.....................................................................................................................................................
A big job done well.

We have just replaced over 20 sash windows and french doors in an Edwardian property. Because it was such a big job we went to several companies before choosing Goatleys, and were not disappointed.

The windows are fantastic and the fitting team were punctual, polite and careful. It was no problem to have Alex and the team in the house. All snagging was sorted quickly and our decorators who followed on agreed that they hadn't seen such careful fitting before.

They made good recommendations and coordinated some other specialist workmen to deal with stained glass to preserve it.

The work is so good that I don't expect to have to use Jordan and the team again but I would happily recommend them to anyone else.

It's that time of year when everyone is experiencing levels of condensation in their homes and even more so in the last couple of years since energy prices have increased, forcing home owners to reduce the amount of time they have their heating on, which in turn is causing the home to drop in and out of temperatures, therefore forming condensation. We thought we would share some information below explaining condensation and we hope that this helps you to understand the cause and how to reduce it.....................................................................................................................................................
CONDENSATION EXPLAINED:-

Broadly there are three types of condensation which often get talked about when referring to fenestration products (replacement windows or doors). External, water droplets on the outside of the insulated Glass unit (IGU), internal, water droplets on the room side of the IGU and water droplets inside the panes of the IGU.

Let’s start with some science. The process of water forming on any surface is in essence exactly the same as the creation of fog, but being accelerated by the surface temperature.

Firstly let’s explain Relative Humidity (RH). This is measured as a percentage of when water vapour turns back into a liquid in the atmosphere. The transformation occurs at 100% saturation, and then RH is measured as a percentage of the volume of moisture in the atmosphere of that figure. The difficulty is that this RH changes as the air temperature changes, the higher the temperature the more water vapour, by volume is needed to saturate the atmosphere, but the RH is always measured on the same scale. Therefore as the temperature rises, if no extra water vapour is added to the atmosphere the effect is the RH will fall and vice versa, if the temperature drops and no water is extracted from the
atmosphere the RH will rise.

Next we need to understand the Dew Point (DP) The DP is the actual temperature that the transformation of the vapour to a liquid will occur, i.e. RH 100%.

There are many references on the internet for a simple calculation to work out what the DP is depending on the 2 variables, the atmospheric temperature and the RH, which references
to some work done by Lawrence, Mark 2005:

Dew Point = (Temperature-((100-RH)/5)
E.g. Room temperature 20 degrees Celsius
Relative Humidity 55%
DP = (20-((100-55)/5)
DP = (20-(45/5)
DP = (20 – 9)
DP = 11

In this example, any surface which has an 11 degree surface temperature will accelerate the transformation of the water vapour to a liquid by cooling the air immediately in contact with
that material to a point that the RH will rise to 100%. This water will adhere to the material surface in the form of condensation droplets.

Visible water inside the IGU is the easiest one to explain; The IGU is made up of multiple panes of glass held apart by a spacer bar which has a small primary seal between the spacer
bar and the glass and a larger thick secondary seal around the perimeter of the IGU which is giving structural strength to the IGU, in most cases the IGU is now filled with an inert gas.

The spacer bar is filled with a material called desiccant, a form of silicone gel granules similar to the small packers of material found in the box of a new electrical good. This material is used as it absorbs moisture. Over time the IGU seals will degrade, moisture will work its way through the sealants and eventually the desiccant will become saturated, not able to absorb any more moisture. Eventually the DP inside the IGU will be achieved and the vapour
converts back to a liquid on the cold surface. Once this happens the unit has reached the end of its lifetime and needs replacing.

Next is external condensation. Primarily during the spring and autumn months this is more common. Water droplets will be witnessed on the exterior of IGU’s. This has happened because during the day the RH has built up in the atmosphere. Overnight the temperature has dropped to a point where the DP has been reached in the air at the point where it is in contact with cold surfaces, resulting in the formation of water droplet. This can be seen on the exterior of the IGU’s, but also on vehicles and the ground which is also going to be cold by comparison to the day air temperature.

If the outside air temperature falls enough then this will manifest itself into advection fog (condensation in free air).

As the temperature rises during the day the condensation on the outside of the IGU will evaporate away as the RH effectively drops, the DP rises and the atmosphere can support the water vapour.

Lastly internal condensation on the glass (room side). As explained the condensation forming on the glass is the by-product of the transformation of vapour back to a liquid at DP. Modern day fenestration products are far more airtight then products of years ago, therefore there is very little draught ventilating the property and reducing the RH.

During our normal living activities, people exhaling vapour, boiling a kettle, cooking, baths, showers, drying clothes on radiators and even house plants are all adding vapour into the property atmosphere, increasing the RH.

This is not necessarily a problem, however if the heating is on a timer and the property cools down at night, then it is plausible that the property atmosphere will reach DP and condensation will form on the cold surfaces, IGU first, then mirrors, china and eventually
even the wall corners of the rooms. This is not an issue with any material just our living habits.

There are some practical suggestions that can help with condensation. Ultimately we need to control the RH, simply changing the air supply in the property or extracting high levels of
vapour when cooking or showering will help to keep the RH under control.

Furthermore, managing the property heat can also help, if there are high levels of RH in the property, then if the property cools down, the RH will increase and the DP will be achieved. Keeping the property a couple of degrees warmer could eliminate the condensation.

Lastly if all else fails a small dehumidifier will reduce the RH by mechanically extracting the water vapour from the atmosphere.....................................................................................................................................................
