The Benefits
Replacing your old or single-glazed windows offers a range of immediate and long-term benefits for your home:
✔ Lower Energy Bills: By stopping heat from escaping through your windows, double-glazing can reduce heat loss by as much as 60-74% compared to single-glazing, saving you hundreds of pounds on your annual heating costs.
✔ Improved Comfort: It creates a more consistent temperature throughout your home, eliminating cold spots and draughts. It also reduces external noise by 20-65% (or up to 35 decibels), making your home quieter and more peaceful.
✔ Increased Property Value: Installing new, energy-efficient windows can increase your home's value and make it more attractive to potential buyers.
✔ Long Lifespan: Modern double-glazing is highly durable. It can last for 25 to 30 years on average, and even longer with proper maintenance.
✔ Enhanced Security: New double-glazed windows are more robust and can improve the security of your home compared to older or single-glazed units.
What do double-glazed windows look like and where does it fit in your house?
Double-glazed windows look like regular windows, but they have two sheets of glass instead of one. There is a small gap, usually about 16mm wide, between the two layers of glass. This gap is filled with air or gas to help keep your home warmer.
Double-glazed windows usually fit into the same spot as your existing windows. They can be fitted throughout your house and work the same as regular windows. The only difference is they are better at keeping the heat inside.
