A double-glazed window is made up of two glass panes, with an air gap between them. The air space between the two panes of glass is filled with argon which increases the insulation. The two layers of glass block thermal energy from escaping your home.

The double glazed windows can also limit condensation which can cause damage to furniture and carpets. Double glazing also serves as a sound barrier, allowing you to enjoy peace and quiet at your home. This will also prevent you from overheating during the summer.

Reduced condensation

Many people worry that their double-glazed windows will suffer from condensation, however the reality is that they're much more efficient in terms of energy consumption and are less susceptible to this problem. Internal condensation only occurs if there is excessive humidity in the air or low room temperature, and it's best addressed by enhancing ventilation and eliminating sources of moisture like pets and house plants shed. Condensation should also be removed quickly since it can cause mould and rot.

In the case of double glazed casement windows Bromley, condensation might appear on the exterior of the window panes as they warm up in the morning or when you turn the heating on.

If your double-glazed windows show condensation between the panes of glass, this is an indication that the seal has deteriorated. It is possible to get the issue fixed, but sealing the windows again can be costly and doesn't address the root cause of the issue. It is important to think about whether it is more efficient to replace the windows in the long term. This is a decision that should be taken in consultation with the window manufacturer, as it will be contingent on the expected lifespan of the windows.

Improved sound insulation

Double glazing is an excellent method to cut down on outside noise. If you live near a bustling road, railway line, or airport, or if your neighbours are noisy double glazing is a simple way to keep the noise out.

Double-glazed windows are made up of two panes that are separated by an inert gas, or air. The glass is thicker and doesn't move as much when sound hits it. The argon gas that is between the panes has distinct properties from regular air, and so can dampen the vibrations of sound waves before they reach your ears.

The result is a much more tranquil environment at home, which is perfect for those looking to get a good night's sleep or relax in a quiet living space. You can also go a step further and select acoustic glass that is designed specifically to cut down on noise.

You will still need to use other measures to block out noise from outside for example sound insulation or a solid wall.

Safety improvements

Installing a double-glazed window can ensure your home is secure from criminals. Double glazed windows are more secure than single panes and are more difficult to open from the outside. In addition, they are also resistant to extreme weather conditions, such as snow, rain or the scorching heat. They are the most effective way to ensure your family's safety.

The space between the two glass panes creates an air-filled layer which acts as an insulation, reducing energy loss. This helps homeowners save money on their energy costs because it keeps the heat in the colder months and prevents the warm air from venting. This also helps reduce the need for artificial heating, which can save on electric bills.
