Get Double Glazing That Is Out Of This World

As the autumn weather draws in and the nights get colder, now is possibly the best time to think about installing new double glazed windows. At Planet South Lakes, we can install and fit double glazing that is out of this world. Energy prices have certainty sky rocketed in the past 12 months and saving energy is becoming more important than ever. One of the easiest and most efficient ways to cut energy usage in the home is to increase the overall thermal efficiency of your house. While there are many ways to achieve this, double glazing is undoubtedly the quickest and most useful.

The reason that modern double glazing can have such an impact in reducing energy bills is because windows are the main source of heat loss in the home. Even though they only take up a small part of the structure of a house, glass is a very poor insulator and as such, heat readily escapes through this surface. Double glazing does use glass however, the glass is not the primary insulator; instead the two panes of glass trap air or gas between them which acts as the main barrier to heat transfer. Air is a very effective insulator as it does not conduct heat very effectively. By creating this barrier between the temperature inside and the temperature outside, you can avoid using your heating to heat up the outside world.

Double glazing is not just a great heat insulator; it can also function as a sound insulator. This means that you can get great benefits from your investment all year round and guarantee a much quieter nights sleep. Although these benefits are felt most when replacing single glazed windows, there is still a noticeable change when replacing much older double glazing.
