Better energy efficiency
Double glazing will keep your home warm all year around. The two layers of glass with a gap between that provides insulation, makes double glazing energy efficient. The heat won't escape like it does with normal windows too.
Cheaper energy bills
You can turn the thermostat down and be safe in the knowledge that your home will be warmer with double glazing. It will cost less to heat your home as double glazing helps retain the heat. Due to this, it is eco-friendly as it reduces energy consumption.
Improved security
Double glazing is super tough and the materials used, make it hard to force an entry. The two panes of glass are harder to break than normal glass, making your home more secure. This is especially comforting if you live in a ground-level house or apartment. It's very difficult to smash a window with double glazing. It's worth mentioning you have double glazing when you get a quote for home insurance.
Increased property value
When people look to buy a home, many look for double glazing, knowing about its benefits to lower energy costs and also less upkeep than older sash style windows. Having a home with double glazing installed can be an added benefit and can add to the value of your home when you go to sell it.
Noise reduction
Double glazing reduces noise, due to the two pains of glass involved and the vacuum in between. This is particularly good if you live in a noisy area, such as on the main road for example. If you are looking to buy a home in a bustling area or near an airport, double glazing is a must-have for sure.
Simple maintenance
Double glazing does not take any heavy maintenance. A simple wipe of the windows and window frame on a regular basis will remove condensation and any dead insects and keep the windows as good as new. A little WD-40 applied to the hinges and locks will also keep them in good working order.
So as you can see there are many benefits of double glazing. If you have money to invest in your property double glazing is well worth considering.
