Did you know that 25% of the heat in your home is lost through the windows? That means you’re literally throwing money out of the window!
Double glazed windows have two sheets of glass with a gap in between, sometimes filled with gas, to make an insulating barrier. Triple glazing has three sheets of glass, but it doesn’t necessarily make them more energy efficient than double glazing.
Having energy efficient windows in your house will reduce your heating bills as well as help you save energy. But how much could you actually save by investing in double glazed windows?
According to the Energy Saving Trust, you could save £2,200 over 20 years in a typical semi-detached house by replacing single glazing with A-rated double glazing.
What are the benefits of double glazing?
- Keep your home warmer and free of draughts: save up to £160 per year on your energy bills
- Cut your carbon footprint: save 16 tonnes of CO2 every year
- Reduce noise: double glazed windows absorb and reflect some sound
- Combat condensation: stop the build-up of condensation on the inside of windows
- Increase your home’s value: buyers want to see double glazed windows
- Security: keep your home safe with secure locks and frames
