Many homeowners have heard the term “double glazing” at least once, but they may not understand exactly how this process can benefit their homes. Double glazed windows consist of two panes of glass separated by an argon- or air-filled vacuum. The benefits of such windows quickly add up only days after installation and you stand to save hundreds over the course of your first year. Your windows need replacement anyway, and the glazing options are cost-effective and long-lasting. However, there are yet more benefits to double glazing that you may not know about or understand.
Thermal Performance
An average-sized home could save more than £100 per year on heating bills simply by having double glazed windows installed. This is due to the additional pane of glass, which serves to keep more heat inside the property. Up to 70% of heat lost from a home is lost through the windows, the doors, and the garage door. Double glazed windows can reduce heat loss by as much as 70%, a dramatic change from traditional options. Enfield double glazing can quickly make your thermostat more effective and help you make the most of it during the colder months of the year.
Sound Insulation
Unless you live kilometres from the nearest city, you are unlikely to enjoy a perfectly quiet afternoon. Double glazed windows reduce sound pollution by up to 70%, which can help you to feel more peaceful and comfortable in your home. At the end of a long work day, you deserve the chance to sit down with a warm cup of tea in your quiet and relaxing home. With this installation decision, you can finally stop hearing the worst of your neighbour’s business, busy vehicles honking on the street, and more. You deserve the chance to find peace in your own home.
