Install double glazing for a warmer home in winter

As we move towards October, the days get shorter and the nights get darker. The temperatures will of course follow suit and begin to drop as winter puts in an appearance. We all love the comfort of a cosy winter evening in front of a roaring fire, or a house warmed through with central heating. Energy moves through the walls, roof and cracks of a property regardless of the season, but as it is important to retain as much heat as possible during the colder months, it is best to ensure your home has high quality insulation.

For many people the primary reason for installing double glazing in their homes is the thermal benefit. The single layer that sits between the two pieces of glass helps to prevent the external temperatures from affecting the internal climate. The heat loss through a double glazed unit can be over 54% less than a single glazed window.

When cold air meets a warm surface, it results in condensation. With double glazing the air that sits in between the glass keeps the glass inside at room temperature, which almost eliminates dampness and condensation inside the property. Condensation on the inside of windows during winter is very common, but double glazing can effectively tackle condensation and remove almost every trace of it, even in rooms where a lot of water is present such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Timber windows tend to decline after prolonged exposure to internal condensation, but the improved thermal insulation provided by double glazing successfully reduces condensation and extends their lifespan. Overall, two layers of glass offer you the comfort and economical benefits of a warmer, drier home.
