Forget The Cold With Double Glazing In Cumbria

The last couple of winters have been amongst some of the coldest on record and forecasters are predicting a similar scenario for 2011. This is bad news for those who are already struggling to meet the cost of energy and who live in homes suffering with draughts. They will no doubt have to heavily rely on their heating this winter, whereas those with double glazing will have no such problems.

Double glazing in Cumbria is more than essential during the coldest months of the year as it works to ensure that homes stay warm throughout the winter. It can also make sure that heating costs do not spiral out of control as it affords you the opportunity to rely on your boiler far less often that you would do if you were to only have single glazed windows installed.

25% of heat is lost through poorly insulated windows. There will be no such problems when you opt to replace all your existing windows as double glazing works to ensure that as much hot air is trapped inside your home as possible for long periods of time. This will make your home more energy efficient and substantially cut carbon emissions.

When the weather picks up your new windows will also help to heat your home as they will reflect hot air into your home at a comfortable level so that it doesn’t become too warm. If however it does ever become a little too hot, you can easily open the window and allow outdoor air to circulate throughout your living space.

The money saved because of your new windows can then be invested into other areas of the home such as the purchasing of a conservatory as conservatories can add stylish living space and provide you with a modern alternative to the living room.
