As double glazed windows and doors work to keep more heat in, which will likely lower your reliance on your central heating. Your space will be able to better retain heat without relying on central heating systems. This could lead to lower energy bill and a more ecofriendly home.
Condensation is a common issue with single glazing windows. Condensation is caused as water vapour in the air builds up on surfaces that are at lower temperatures. A build up of condensation can result in droplets forming on the glass, and form damp and mould. This won’t just affect the look of your property but may also cause health issues.
Double glazed windows and doors can reduce condensation due to the airtight seal between the panes. This prevents condensation from building up, minimising mould. Condensation can also make a room feel cold as well as affect the look of the profiles.
Although it’s lovely for the sun to flood into a room, UV rays can actually be hugely damaging to your furnishings, curtains and carpet. Sunlight can fade furniture, especially in brightly lit rooms and conservatories. Double glazing can limit the amount of damaging UV rays that can penetrate through and into your room.
