While offering greater thermal insulation for your home and loved ones is the common reason for investing, double glazing offers many other benefits including a significant reduction in condensation and noise leaving you with a drier, healthier home.

Heat Loss Reduction:
49-55% heat loss reduction through your windows. The addition of argon gas improves thermal efficiency and can offer additional heat reduction of up to 15%, and a combination of Argon and Low-E glass work in unison to offer heat loss reductions of up to 75%.

Reduced Condensation: Although condensation reduction is ultimately affected by the dryness of your home, double glazing offers a significant reduction in noticeable condensation in your home. By creating a barrier for condensation creation, double glazing will reduce the amount of condensation, the risk of rot in timber window framing and the spread of unhealthy moulds in your home.

Sound Reduction: Standard Double Glazing offers a perceived Sound Reduction of up to 30% although additional modifications to glass configuration can offer perceived reductions of beyond 50%.

UV Protection: Blinds, curtains and carpets are expensive aspects of your home and simply by adding laminated safety glass to your double glazed window, you can extend their lifespans dramatically. Laminated safety glass reduces UV light by 99% and effectively blocks damaging light from fading and damaging your furnishings.
