If you're considering double glazed home improvements, you may be wondering what advantages double glazing actually offers over standard glazing. Here's how it works, and why it matters, in three helpful facts.
Fact one: it's the gap that does the work. Double glazing is two panes of glass with a sealed gap between them, filled with an insulating gas, normally argon. That layer acts as a barrier between your home and the outside, dramatically slowing the passage of heat, cold and noise.
Fact two: it cuts your bills. Because heat escapes far more slowly through a sealed double-glazed unit than through single glass, your heating works less to keep the house warm. Over a year, that's a meaningful saving, and over the life of the windows, a substantial one.
Fact three: comfort is about more than temperature. Double glazing reduces cold spots and draughts near windows, dampens outside noise, and keeps internal glass surfaces warmer, which means far less condensation streaming down your windows on cold mornings.
