Double-Glazing
For sustainable, cosy homes
Do you have old or single-glazed windows that are letting heat escape, making your home feel cold and draughty? Solve the problem by double-glazing: creating a barrier that prevents heat from escaping
Double-glazed windows also reduce outside noise and help you save money on your energy bills while making your home more comfortable.
The Benefits
Part of the heat pump will live outside of your house. This part often looks like a slightly larger air conditioning unit that you might see on buildings when you go abroad. They typically sit on the ground and will often be attached to one of your exterior walls.
Replacing your old or single-glazed windows offers a range of immediate and long-term benefits for your home:
Lower Energy Bills: By stopping heat from escaping through your windows, double-glazing can reduce heat loss by as much as 60-74% compared to single-glazing, saving you hundreds of pounds on your annual heating costs.
Improved Comfort: It creates a more consistent temperature throughout your home, eliminating cold spots and draughts. It also reduces external noise by 20-65% (or up to 35 decibels), making your home quieter and more peaceful.
Increased Property Value: Installing new, energy-efficient windows can increase your home's value and make it more attractive to potential buyers.
Long Lifespan: Modern double-glazing is highly durable. It can last for 25 to 30 years on average, and even longer with proper maintenance.
Enhanced Security: New double-glazed windows are more robust and can improve the security of your home compared to older or single-glazed units.
