Heat Retention
Heat retention is one of the main, noticeable benefits of having double-glazed windows in the home. A single glazed window has one layer of glass which means that it is easier for heat to transfer and this will cause heat loss in the home. The level of insulation that is provided is limited. This can result in a much colder home in the winter. The usual consequences of having single glazed windows include cold droughts, poor energy efficiency, exterior noise issues etc. However, by installing energy-efficient double glazing windows reduces the heat loss and supplies better thermal insulation in the house creating a much more comfortable environment in the home.
Reduced Noise Pollution
In addition, the thinner structure of a single glazed window usually results in limited noise insulation. Making it easier for exterior noise to enter the home and for interior noise to be transferred outside. This can be annoying to both family members and to people outside. With double glazed windows, you can protect your home from this disturbance and significantly reduce noise pollution. Due to the extra layer of insulation provided by double glazed windows, the external noise level coming from outside and inside the home is greatly reduced. Installing good quality double glazed windows can improve your property’s noise insulation. Double glazed windows are very beneficial for homes near crowded environments such as busy roads, the airport, etc.
Reduced Condensation
When you see water droplets forming on the windows this is usually caused by condensation. This occurs when the surface temperature of the window is cooler than the air in the room. When warms air hits a cold surface this can result in moisture. Although this may seem harmless, over time the build-up of this moisture can have a very negative impact on the home. Although it may not be noticeable at first, this build-up of moisture can be indicative of air ventilation problems that can result in mould growth. This can lead to damage to the wallpaper, plaster or other areas of the home. However, by installing double glazed windows you can significantly reduce condensation by inhibiting the build-up of moisture caused by cold weather.
