If you already have older style double glazing in your house in Southborough but are dealing with issues, like draughts or condensation between the panes, the time may have come to consider upgrading your windows.

Double Glazing Southborough Kent (TN4)

When a small gap appears in the sealed unit, warm air from inside the house can enter the gap between the glass panes and causes condensation. As the heated air makes contact with the colder exterior glass pane, moisture forms, with condensation being the result. If this is happening frequently, particularly during the winter, you can either replace the sealed unit, or get brand new windows.

Changing to double glazing will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside sounds, if your home in Southborough has currently got windows with single glazing. Upgrading to double glazing may also add more value to your home, which will obviously be a benefit if you eventually decide to sell up and move.

The Benefits of Double Glazing in Southborough

Double glazing can improve the energy efficiency of your home by keeping the warm air inside and preventing cold from entering. Studies have shown that up to 50% of heat is lost through doors and windows. The insulating properties of double glazing can reduce this loss by up to 81%. This means that your home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, and you can reduce your energy bill accordingly. Additionally, double glazing can help to reduce noise pollution, as thicker windows will reduce noise from busy roads, airports, and other sources.

Another benefit of double glazing is that it can reduce your winter heating bill by up to 50%. This is due to the fact that double-glazed windows prevent heat from escaping through windows, which decreases the need for heating. This helps reduce your household's carbon footprint, which is good news for the environment. Furthermore, double-glazed windows are more attractive to buyers and increase the value of your property.

Condensation is a serious problem in a home. Excess moisture that accumulates on windows and doors can lead to mould and rot, affecting the house's value as well as the health of its occupants. When condensation gets worse, it can also damage the foundations of your home. To solve this problem, you should invest in double glazing for your home.

Another benefit of double glazing is that it is more difficult to break or force open from the outside. This increases the safety level of your home and discourages burglars from breaking in. Moreover, double-glazed windows also reduce the effects of excessive heat on furnishings. Since your furnishings are better protected, your home will have a higher selling price.
