Benefits of installing double glazed windows
Many homeowners are installing replacement windows to help reduce their heating bills as the cost of living crisis is still impacting household budgets. Besides lowering bills, double glazing offers several other benefits.
Reduced heating bills
Double glazing keeps your home warmer longer by reducing heat loss through windows by about 18%, potentially saving up to £235 annually. This improvement is due to its insulating properties and reduced need for heating.
Increased security
Double glazed windows are tougher and harder to break than single-pane windows. They generally include multi-point locks and are designed to resist being forced open from the outside. Options like toughened or laminated glass are available for enhanced security.
Noise reduction
Double glazing’s sound-insulating properties significantly reduce noise intrusion from busy roads, flight paths, or noisy neighbours.
Increased property value
Installing double glazed windows can enhance your home’s aesthetic and increase its market value by up to 10%.
Eco friendly
Double glazing reduces energy consumption and reliance on fossil fuels, potentially lowering your carbon footprint by up to 410kg annually. The most commonly used material, uPVC, is recyclable and sustainable, contributing less waste to landfills.
Reduced condensation
Double glazing helps prevent condensation and associated problems like dampness, musty odours, and mildew by keeping internal panes at room temperature and away from the cold outside air.
Minimise interior damage
By blocking damaging UV rays, double glazing protects furnishings and wood from fading and cracking caused by sunlight.
