The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows

Double-glazed windows permit less heat to escape, trapping it in the winter months. They also limit the amount of UV that passes through the windows, preventing damage to your furniture and paintings.

Britelite provides a wide selection of low-cost triple and dual glazing windows, bifold doors bromley, and conservatories. The products are certified to meet the rigorous BSI Kitemark security standards.

Energy efficiency

Making the investment in energy efficient double glazing will improve the look and feel of your home as well as reduce energy costs. It works by capturing pockets of warm air and keeping cold drafts out. This will decrease your heating costs and carbon footprint.

The uPVC frames used by Eden Windows are made to be as strong and durable as is possible. The frames are designed to provide a sleek appearance, but without sacrificing strength. Your windows will look stunning for a long time and be easy to maintain.

The windows that are traditional are a major source of energy bills. However, installing double glazing in your bromley stained glass home can help prevent this loss of heat and ensure your home is comfortable all year round.

A double-glazed window has two glass panes, with an air gap between them. The air gap is filled with argon gas, which helps to increase the insulation of the window repair bromley. As a result, thermal energy cannot pass through the two layers of glass and escape your home as easily as it would with single glazing.

Double-glazed bromley windows are also insulated, which limits condensation that can damage furniture and carpets. Additionally, the double glazed creates a sound barrier which allows you to enjoy peace and quiet in your home. It also stops you from overheating during the summer.

Reduced condensation

Double-glazed windows are less likely to be affected by condensation. They are also more energy efficient. Condensation inside only occurs when there is excessive humidity in the air or a low temperatures in the room, and is best handled by enhancing ventilation and eliminating sources of moisture such as houseplants and pet shedding. Condensation should also be wiped away quickly as the accumulation of condensation on surfaces can cause mold and rot.

Double-glazed windows can show condensation on the outside of the panes when they warm up the next morning, or turn on the heating. This is normal and the condensation will disappear as the glass warms. However, it's important to remember that condensation doesn't just form on windows but can also build up on frames, sills and the plaster reveal of aluminium, wood or uPVC frames.

If your double-glazed windows are displaying condensation between the panes, this is an indication that the seal has become damaged. It is possible to have this repaired, but sealing the windows again can be costly and does not fix the root of the issue. It is therefore worthwhile to consider whether replacing the windows is a cost-effective option in the long run. This is a choice that should be made in consultation with window manufacturers, as it will depend upon the expected lifespan of the windows.

Sound insulation improved

One of the great things about double glazing is that it's a great method to cut down on noise outside your home. If you live near a busy highway, railway or airport or in the event that your neighbors are noisy, double glazing is a great method to keep out the noise.

This is because double glazed windows have two panes of glass which are separated by a space filled with inert gas or air. The glass itself is more dense than one pane, and therefore it isn't as likely to vibrate when sound hits it. The argon gas inside the panes has distinct characteristics than regular air which means it can dampen the vibrations of sound waves before they reach you.

This will create a more peaceful home, perfect for a restful night's sleep or a peaceful atmosphere. You can go further and pick acoustic glass designed to cut down on the noise levels.

This type of double-glazing includes a bonded interior layer that helps block out and reduce the sound. This type of double-glazing is more expensive than regular double-glazing, but it's well worth the investment to reduce the noise level at home. This is not a soundproof solution. You will still need to make use of other methods to block out noise from outside, such as sound insulation or a solid wall.

Safety improvements

When it is installed, a double glazed window will shield your home from intruders. Contrary to single pane windows double glazed ones are sealed more tightly and are much harder to force open from the outside. They are also resistant to harsh weather conditions like rain, snow or hot temperatures. This makes them one of the best ways to ensure the safety of your family.

The space between the two panes of glass creates a layer of air, which acts as thermal insulation to limit the loss of energy. This can help homeowners save money on their energy bills, as it keeps the warmth in when it is colder and stops the warm air from escaping. This can also decrease the requirement for artificial heat which could save money on electricity bills.

We have a variety of glazing options. From the standard energy efficiency to the industry-leading Comfort Glass. This glass features a Low-E coating and an innovative laminate layer that stops 56 percent more heat from leaving than conventional double-glazing. The type of glass you choose will depend on the location of your bromley stained glass, Croydon or South London home. For instance, our Comfort Plus glass option is ideal for rooms susceptible to overheating because it stops the sun from shining in and causing destruction to furniture.

We also offer a number of secondary glazing options which can be incorporated into frames already in place to enhance their performance. These include tinted or toned windows, that can reduce the amount of sunlight that enters it, and reflective coatings that reflect a greater percentage of heat back to the room.
