The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows
Comparatively to windows that are single-glazed, double glazed ones allow very little heat to escape and entrap it in winter. They also limit the amount UV that enters the room which can cause damage to your furniture and paintings.
Britelite has a wide range of triple and double windows, doors and conservatories that are priced at an affordable price. Its products meet the rigorous BSI Kitemark standards for security.
Energy efficiency
Double glazing that is energy efficient can improve your home's appearance as well as reduce the cost of energy. It works by capturing pockets of warm air, and preventing cold drafts from entering. This will allow you to use less heat and cooling, resulting in lower energy bills and a decrease in carbon emissions.
Eden Windows uses uPVC frames that are as strong and efficient as they can be. They have been created to give sleek lines without sacrificing strength. Repair My Windows And Doors will be stylish for many years to come and will be easy to maintain.
Traditional windows let in a lot of heat loss, which can lead to higher energy bills. However, installing double glazing in your Bromley home will stop this loss of heat and ensure your home is comfortable all year round.
Double-glazed windows feature two panes with an air space between them. The air gap between the two panes of glass is filled with argon which increases the insulation. Therefore, thermal energy is unable to be able to pass through the two layers of glass and escape your home as easily as it does with single glazing.
The insulation of double-glazed windows also reduces condensation, which can cause damage to carpets and furniture. Double glazing also serves as a noise-blocker, which allows you to relax and unwind at home. It will also assist you to keep cool during summer.
Reduced condensation
Many people worry that their double-glazed windows will suffer from condensation, however the reality is that they're more efficient in terms of energy efficiency and less susceptible to this issue. Internal condensation happens when there's too much moisture in the room or when it's too cold. It can be prevented by improving ventilation and removing moisture sources like houseplants and hair from pets. Condensation should be removed promptly since it can lead to mold and rot when left on surfaces.
Double-glazed windows can show condensation on the outside of the panes when they are heated up the next morning or turn on the heating. This is normal, and the condensation will go away as the glass warms. It is important to remember that condensation can build up not just on windows but also on frames, sills and even plaster reveal on uPVC or wood frames.
If you notice condensation in the glass panes of your double-glazed windows, the seal will likely be deteriorated. It is possible to have the issue fixed, but resealing can be expensive and doesn't fix the root of the problem. It is worthwhile to consider whether it is more economically efficient to replace windows over time. However it is a decision to be made in consultation with the window manufacturer because it will be contingent on their expected life cycle.
Improved sound insulation
Double glazing can be a wonderful option to reduce outside noise. If you live near a busy highway, railway line or airport, or if your neighbours are noisy, double glazing is a simple method to keep the noise from entering your home.
Double-glazed windows are composed of two panes separated by an inert gas, or air. The glass itself is more dense than one pane, and therefore it doesn't vibrate as easily when sound hits it. The argon gas between the panes also has different characteristics than regular air and therefore can dampen vibrations of sound waves before they reach your ears.
This results in a quieter home, which is ideal for those who want to get a good night's sleep or enjoy a peaceful living space. You can also go a step further by choosing Acoustic glass that has been designed specifically to cut down on noise.
This type of double-glazing comes with an internal layer that's made of a bonded material to absorb and dampen noise. This type of double glazing is more expensive than standard double-glazing, but it's a worthwhile investment to reduce noise levels at home. This is not a soundproof solution. You'll still need to use other measures to block out noise from outside like sound insulation or a solid wall.
Increased safety
A double-glazed window will ensure your home is secure from criminals. In contrast to single pane windows double-glazed windows are sealed more tightly and are much harder to open from the outside. Additionally, they are also resistant to harsh weather conditions, such as rain, snow or even hot temperatures. This makes them one of the best ways to ensure the security of your family.
The air between the two panes functions as thermal insulation, reducing the loss of energy. This can help homeowners save money on their energy bills because it keeps the warmth in when it is colder and stops the warm air from leaving. This can also reduce the need for artificial heating, which could lower the cost of electricity.
We offer many different glazing options. From basic energy efficiency to the industry leading Comfort Glass. This glass is coated with a low-E coating, and an innovative laminate layer that stops 56 percent more heat from leaving than traditional double glazing. The kind of glass you select will depend on the location of your Bromley, Croydon or South London home. Our Comfort Plus glass is perfect for rooms prone to overheating as it stops the sun from shining through and prevents damage to furniture.
We also provide a range of secondary glazing options which can be incorporated into your existing frames to increase their performance. There are tinted or toned glasses which can decrease the amount of sunlight that is reflected through them, and reflective coatings which can reflect more heat back into the room.
