Why Double Glazing?

Most windows on older homes weren’t built with windows that were meant to last. As a home ages so do the windows. Anything that was used to seal the window years ago wears away naturally over time making it easier for air to find it’s way into your home. If you can feel a cool breeze when you stand in front of any of your windows during the day or night it’s time to consider replacing them with Double Glazed windows.

How does the Double Glazing process work?

The Double Glazing process is simple but effective. A window is created using two panes of glass with a small gap several millimeters thick between them. The gap between the panes of glass naturally traps air and creates a vapor barrier that keeps any air from the outside coming into your house. Besides lowering your energy costs and improving the look of your home Double Glazing also helps the environment too because our homes typically release 28% of carbon dioxide into the environment and with Double Glazed windows your home can cut down on this emissions and help you to do your part to save the environment.
