Understanding The Benefits Of Double Glazing

Having double glazing windows fitted in your home can bring many benefits such as lower energy bills and a quieter, more secure home. Although it is good to know that you will get all of these benefits, it is far more helpful to understand just how it all works. So read on and discover just how double glazing windows can do so much to improve your life and home!

Energy Saving

Modern double glazing windows are able to save you money by being more efficient than single or early versions of double glazing. The way that double glazing achieves this increased efficiency is by using two panes of glass in the frame with a special glass in between them. By being built in this way, the window ensures that the outside air and the inside air never directly touch the same piece of glass; this makes it a lot harder for the heat to transfer to the outside. The reason that you save money is because the heating in your house will not have to stay on in order to replace the heat that was escaping though your old, inefficient windows. With energy prices reaching record highs, the amount of money that you can save will likely keep increasing in the future.

Noise Reduction

The same process that reduces the heat transfer from your home also has an impact on the amount of external noise that can enter. Although not their primary purpose, double glazing windows can make large improvements in the soundproofing of your house. The two panes of glass break up sound waves which mean annoying noises such as; traffic, car alarms and dogs will all be less disruptive. The double glazing will also make sure any internal noises do not disrupt the neighbours; especially useful if you are a wannabe rock star!

More Secure

Two panes of glass quite naturally weigh more than one pane; this is why the frames are built to be much stronger, which in turn makes them far more secure. This added security makes the frames much harder to breach and lessens the chance of the windows being forced open. The thicker glass enhances this security even more; there are now two large panes of glass protecting your home from the outside world. Double the glass: double the protection.
