Benefits of Double Glazing
Specifically designed to reduce heat loss from homes and buildings, double glazing also performs many other benefits
Reduce energy usage
Because there’s less need for heating systems you’ll be reducing energy consumption, which saves on your power bills and helps the environment.
Warmer in winter
Double glazing is the ideal form of insulation, with up to 50-70% of home heat lost through single-glazed windows. Double glazing also helps capture and store a higher percentage of the natural heat from the winter sun.
Cooler in summer
Double glazing insulates your home against extremes of temperature, trapping some of the summer suns rays and minimising the heat which burns through your windows on hot, sunny days.
Reduce condensation
Condensation can be a serious problem, particularly in older homes, as it causes mould and mildew, and in some cases it will also rot timber window frames and damage your family’s health. Double glazing works to reduce excess moisture on your window panes.
Reduce noise
Double gazing reduces noise for a calmer, quieter home. High performance double glazing can reduce outside noise by up to 60%, making it a great investment if you live by a busy road or beneath a flight path.
Reduce interior fading
Reduces the damaging effects of UV light on drapes, carpet and furniture (special glass types required) Reduced interior fading by using glass combinations that reduce the transmission of UV radiation. Reduce the need for thermal drapes that can block the exterior view.
Increase security
Discourage intruders for safety and security. It’s more difficult for intruders to break in through double glazed windows, particularly if you include laminated or toughened glass.
Retrofit double glazing
Retrofitting double glazing into your existing Timber or Aluminium joinery can be more affordable than replacing all of your window joinery.
The quick process give you all the benefits of modern double glazing while retaining the character of your home.
Increase the resale value of your home
Double glazing an older home ensures it is more desirable to the purchaser who wants a warm, dry home for them and their family.
With retrofit double-glazing any home can have the benefits of efficient insulation!
