As the seasons change and the temperature drops, attention naturally turns towards keeping our home warm. Along with an efficient boiler and central heating system, the thermal efficiency of a house is key to keeping things toasty, and new glazing can make an enormous difference in upgrading your property.
With rising energy costs, double or triple glazing can be a game-changer in improving your home’s insulation and reducing heat loss. Follow our handy guide to get your property ready for autumn and winter.
Upgrade windows and doors with PVCu double glazing
How can new windows and doors help you get more from your energy usage? Double or triple glazing creates an extra layer of insulation between the interior and exterior of your home. This insulation helps to trap heat inside, preventing it from escaping and cold air from entering.
Single pane windows are notorious for allowing heat to escape easily, while double or triple glazing will reduce heat-loss and make your home more energy-efficient. When choosing double or triple glazing, be sure to invest in high-quality windows with low-emissivity (known as low-E) coatings and inert gas fillings between the panes as these are the most energy-efficient and will enhance the thermal efficiency of the glass by reflecting heat back into your home.
There are several additional benefits from upgrading your windows and doors with new double glazing. Double glazed windows are also less likely to have issues with condensation build-up on the inside surfaces because the inner pane maintains a temperature closer to room temperature, and this can help prevent moisture-related issues and maintain a comfortable indoor environment. Finally, double and triple glazing also provides improved sound insulation, making your home quieter and more comfortable.
