The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows
Compared to single-glazed windows, double-glazed windows allow little heat to escape, and they trap it in winter. They also decrease the amount of UV light that is able to pass through them, preventing damage to paintings and furniture in your home.
double glazing company bromley offers a broad selection of low-cost triple and dual glazing windows, doors, and conservatories. The products it offers are certified to meet the strict BSI Kitemark security standards.
Energy efficiency
Double glazing that is energy efficient can improve the appearance of your home and lower your energy consumption. It works by capturing pockets of warm air while keeping cold draughts out. This will allow you to use less heating and cooling, which results in lower energy costs and a reduction in carbon footprint.
The uPVC frames employed by Eden Windows are made to be as strong and durable as is possible. The frames are designed to have a sleek design without compromising the strength. Your new windows will be stylish for a long time, and will be easy to maintain.
The traditional windows are a major cause of energy bills. However, installing double glazing in your Bromley home can prevent this heat loss and improve the comfort of your home all year.
Double-glazed windows are made up of two panes, with an air space between them. The air space between the two panes of glass is filled with argon which increases the insulation. The two layers of glass keep the heat from leaving your home.
Double-glazed windows are also insulated which reduces condensation that can damage furniture and carpets. Double glazing also serves as a noise barrier which allows you to have peace and tranquility at your home. This also helps to prevent you from overheating in the summer.
Reduced condensation
Many people worry that their double-glazed windows will suffer from condensation, but the truth is that they're much more energy efficient and less prone to this problem. Internal condensation only happens when there's excessive moisture in the air or a low room temperature, and it's best handled by enhancing ventilation and eliminating moisture sources such as houseplants and pet shed. Condensation must be eliminated as soon as possible, since it can cause mould and rot if left on surfaces.
In the case of double glazed windows, condensation could appear on the outside of the window panes while they begin to warm up in the morning or when you switch the heating on. This is normal, and the condensation will dissipate as the glass warms. However, it is important to remember that condensation does not just gather on windows - it may also get accumulated on the sills, frames and plaster exposes of aluminium, wood or uPVC frames.
If your double-glazed windows are displaying condensation between the panes, it is an indication that the seal has become damaged. This can be repaired, but it is expensive and does not address the root of the issue. It is worth considering whether it is more cost-effective to replace the windows over time. However it is a decision to be made in collaboration with the window manufacturer since it will depend on their expected life cycle.
Better sound insulation
Double glazing can be a wonderful option to reduce outside noise. If you live near a busy airport, railway line or highway or if your neighbors are noisy, double glazing is a great solution to block out the noise.
Double-glazed windows are composed of two panes separated by an inert gas, or air. The glass is stronger and therefore doesn't vibrate so much when sound hits it. The argon that is between the panes has different properties like air and it can block vibrations before they get to you.
This will create a more peaceful home environment, perfect for a restful night's sleep or a peaceful ambience. You can go a step further by choosing acoustic glass that is designed specifically to reduce noise levels.
This type of double glazing includes a bonded interior layer that helps to reduce noise and absorb it. It's more expensive than standard double glazing, but is worth the investment if you want to lower noise levels in your home. This is not a soundproof solution. You'll still need to employ other measures to block out noise from outside like sound insulation or a solid wall.
The safety of the public is improved
Installing a double-glazed window will keep your home safe against intruders. Contrary to single pane windows double glazed ones are sealed more securely and are less difficult to open from the outside. They are also resistant against harsh weather conditions like rain, snow or hot temperatures. This makes them one of the best methods to ensure the security of your family.
The air between the two panes acts as thermal insulation, reducing energy loss. This can save homeowners money by preventing the warm air from venting out in colder weather. This also reduces the requirement for artificial heating, which could save electricity bills.
We offer a variety of options for glazing, from traditional energy efficiency to industry-leading Comfort Glass, which features an innovative laminate layer and Low-E coating to block 56% more heat from your home than standard double-glazing. The choice of glass will depend on the requirements of your Bromley or Croydon home. For instance our Comfort Plus glass option is ideal for rooms that are prone to overheating as it stops the sun from shining in and causing destruction to furniture.
We also provide a range of secondary glazing options that can be added to your existing frames to enhance their performance. There are tinted or toned glasses that can reduce the amount sunlight that passes through them and reflective coatings that reflect more heat back into the room.
