The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows
Double-glazed windows permit less heat to escape, while retaining it in winter months. They also limit the amount UV that enters the room and can cause damage to your furniture and paintings.

Energy efficiency
Double glazing that is energy efficient can improve the appearance of your home and lower the cost of energy. It works by capturing pockets of warm air while keeping cold draughts out. This can reduce heating costs and carbon footprint.

Traditional windows are a major source of energy bills. Installing double glazing in Bromley will stop heat loss, making your home more comfortable all year.
A double glazed window comprises two glass panes that have an air gap between them. The air space is filled with argon gas, which helps to increase the insulation of the window. The two layers of glass stop the heat from leaving your home.
Double-glazed windows are also insulated and reduce the possibility of condensation damaging carpets and furniture. Moreover, the double glazing acts as a sound-proofing device and allows you to enjoy peace and quiet in your home. It also helps to keep cool during summer.
Reduced condensation
Double-glazed windows are less likely to suffer from condensation. They are also more energy efficient. Internal condensation happens when there's not enough moisture in the room or when it's too cold. It can be avoided by improving ventilation, removing the sources of moisture such as houseplants or pet hair. Condensation should be removed promptly, since it can cause mold and rot when left on surfaces.
In the case of double-glazed windows, condensation may appear on the exterior of the window panes as they begin to warm up in the morning or when you switch the heating on. This is normal, and the condensation will disappear as the glass warms. However, it's important to keep in mind that condensation does not only form on windows but can also accumulate on frames, sills and plaster exposes of uPVC, wood or aluminium frames.
If you notice condensation between the glass panes of your double-glazed windows, the seal is likely to be deteriorated. It is possible to get the seal repaired, but resealing can be expensive and does not solve the root of the problem. It is worthwhile to consider whether it is more efficient to replace the windows in the long term. This is a decision which should be made after consulting with window manufacturers, as it will depend on their lifespan.
Better sound insulation
Double glazing is a fantastic way to minimize outside noise. If you live near a bustling road, railway line, or airport or if your neighbors are noisy, double glazing is a good method to keep the noise out.
Double-glazed windows consist of two panes that are separated by an inert gas or air. The glass is thicker and thus doesn't sway as much when sound hits it. The argon that is between the panes has distinct properties that are different from air, and can dampen vibrations before they reach you.
This will create a quieter home environment, perfect for a peaceful night's rest or a peaceful atmosphere. You can go one step further and opt for acoustic glasses that are designed to reduce the amount of noise.
Double-glazing with this type has an internal layer that is made of a bonded material to block noise and reduce it. It's more expensive than standard double glazed, but is worth the investment if you are looking to reduce noise within your home. It's important that you realize that this isn't a soundproof solution and you'll still need to block outside noise by using other methods like sound insulation and walls that are solid.
Increased safety
When it is put in place with double glazing, a double-glazed window can protect your home from burglars. As opposed to single pane windows double-glazed windows are more tightly and are harder to open from the outside. Additionally, they are also resistant to harsh weather conditions like snow, rain, or hot temperatures. They are the best method to ensure the safety of your family.
The space between the two glass panes creates an air space that acts as a thermal insulation to reduce the loss of energy. This can help homeowners save money by preventing warm air from escaping in colder temperatures. This also reduces the need for artificial heat which could help lower the cost of electricity.
