Double-glazed windows
Double glazing is a fantastic option to increase the energy efficiency of your home. This is due to the fact that it helps in retaining the heat within the room, which reduces the need for artificial heaters and air conditioning. This in turn results in reduced energy costs.
The energy efficiency of double glazed windows is achieved through the sealed air gap between the two panes of glass. The gap limits the transfer of cold air into your house and also reduces the noise. The fact that a lot of double-glazed windows are filled with Argon, an inert gas with low conductivity properties, enhances this performance.
Double glazing’s insulation capabilities also keep your home at an ideal temperature in the winter months. This is because the air space between the panes restricts the transfer of heat from outside. Similar mechanisms are used in summer to block unwanted heat from entering your property.
Another benefit of double glazing is that it also shields your home from sun’s harsh radiation. The thick glass of a double-glazed window will reflect UV radiation instead of absorption. Furniture, carpets, and curtains won’t fade over time. Glass is designed to be durable and can stand up to pressure without breaking or cracking.
This has resulted in the introduction of building regulations in 2002 that require all replacement windows to be at least double glazed C rated. A higher energy rating, like an A rated window, can provide even more benefits.
If you’re looking to make a change to the look of your home, double glazed windows are an excellent option. They’re not just efficient in terms of energy consumption, but also add value to your house. They are also much safer to use because they are harder to break into than single-glazed windows. They can also be easily cleaned and installed to existing structures. You can choose from a range of colors and designs to create the perfect look for your home.
