Double glazing has many advantages. Some older homes might not be fitted with double-glazing, even though most modern homes have it. It is a mistake to leave an older property with only single window panes as the long-term benefits of energy savings and maintaining the home’s temperature are becoming increasingly important. It’s a good idea to review what you have at the moment in terms of windows. We’ll look at the benefits of Double glazing for your home.

You will be able to keep your house warmer during the winter. The heat loss from single-glazed windows is reduced by double-glazed windows. Single glazed windows can leak as much as 50 to 70% of the heat from your home. Double glazing traps the heat from the sun, keeping it inside the house.

Double glazing also helps to keep the house cool by blocking the sun during hotter days.

You don’t need to turn up the heat as high. The windows will trap the heat, so the house will be warmer for longer. You won’t have to turn up the thermostat or use the radiators at all. This will result in lower energy bills, which is a great thing.

Condensation is a thing of the past. This is a common problem with older homes where warm air from the inside meets the cold air at the windows. Condensation is created by this cold and warm environment. This can cause a damp home and lead to mould, which is worse for people with respiratory issues. Double glazing prevents the cold from entering and the heat from going out and reduces moisture in the air.

No more noise. If you can’t tolerate the noise of your neighbours outside talking or thundering cars, double glazing reduces noise in the home by blocking out and muffling exterior sounds.  Double glazed windows will add to the value of your home.

Double glazing’s UV protection will also prevent cabinets and sofas from fading when exposed to strong sunlight. Ask the National Trusts Conservation department how they protect their furnishings from UV light. Double glazing will reduce glare and protect the colour of your furniture.

Improves your security. Double glazing is a very strong material, and it is loud when it is broken so acts as a great deterrent to burglars.
