Every householder wants to save money on energy and having good, effective double glazing is one of the best ways to do this. For instance did you know that single glazed windows can cost you up to £200 a year more on heating bills than double glazed windows? And that amount will rise as energy gets costlier.

Double Glazing versus Triple Glazing

So if you are going to the trouble and expense of replacing your windows and doors, shouldn't you reduce your energy bills even further by getting triple glazed windows? Well not necessarily for research by the Energy Saving Trust showed no difference in terms of energy efficiency. The way double glazing works is to create an insulating barrier between two sheets of glass. High quality glazing should therefore provide a high level of energy efficiency which would make little difference if the glass were triple glazed.

Other Benefits of Double Glazing

Keeping your home warm isn't the only benefit to double glazing, it also helps to reduce noise levels, so whilst it might be blowing a gale outside, it will be warm and quiet inside. This is because the glazing is insulated, keeping the cold air out as well as also noise pollution.

If your home suffers from mildew or condensation you'll know what a nuisance it is to try to keep kitchens and bathrooms free from staining. This is a particular problem of single glazed homes or those homes that need their windows updating. Energy efficient windows will reduce condensation noticeably, keeping your home healthier and free from ugly black mildew stains.

Frames to Suit Your Home

Double glazing window frames now come in a wide variety of styles to suit your home.

uPVC frames are the most common frames and one of the cheapest, they also have the advantage of being extremely hard wearing so you will get your money's worth.
Aluminium or Steel Frames were the rage of the 70s but modern frames now look a lot sleeker and again, are hard wearing and cheap to fit.
Wooden frames are more suitable for older buildings who want to keep the look of the house in character with its age. They do look the part but will need to be maintained regularly.
Composite frames are timber frames with an aluminium or plastic cover. The benefits are that you still get the look of timber frames, but a longer lasting frame life that is weatherproof and extremely energy efficient.

Double Glazing Companies

We've all had that knock at the door asking us if we want our windows and doors replaced. Don't be fooled by salesmen glib talk, never do business with a door-to-door salesman. Make sure that the company you choose has a registered business address and recent portfolio of work they've completed. As double glazing will improve the overall value of your home, it's worth taking the time to make sure it's done properly by the professionals and comes with a full guarantee.

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:56:00 -0800 Double Glazing - And Benefit? http://jordanjensen831.posterous.com/double-glazing-and-benefit http://jordanjensen831.posterous.com/double-glazing-and-benefit Today's homeowners have become increasingly aware of their impact on the environment. Many people now recycle, pay close mind to the amount of water they use and attempt to conserve electricity wherever possible. An unfortunate side effect of trying to save the rainforest, however, is experiencing less comfort in their homes as a result of conserving comforts such as electricity.

Fortunately for those homeowners who would love to be an aid to the environment but refuse to sacrifice their comfort there is a solution. Installing double glazing throughout your home can drastically improve your property's energy efficiency while allowing you to set your thermostat at a comfortable level.

What Is Double Glazing?

The term "double glazing" might sound quite complicated, but in truth the manufacturing process for these windows and doors is rather simple. It consists of two panes of glass as opposed to the traditional single-pane units of past windows and doors. These panes of glass are sealed tightly in a frame and filled with either air or inert gas, making them better insulated to the elements of the outdoors.

This means that the heat or cooling in your home remains inside rather than seeping out through your windows. Double glazing also allows natural light to enter through the windows just as it would through a traditional window, a feature that you can't expect from thermal curtains which also help with efficiency.

Considerations When Shopping

Shopping for double glazing before doing some research is not a wise decision. Going into the showroom without considering the needs of your property and your family, the various options available and competing pricing, and the restrictions or limitations of your budget is asking for trouble and could be a costly mistake.

Prior to shopping study up on the various materials used in double glazing. This will help you to make an informed decision about where best to spend your money. For instance, double glazing with inert gas, such as Argon, in the gap between the panes is much more efficient than models with air filler, but it's also more expensive.

You should also consider what security features, ventilation options and frames you would like in order to ensure that your purchase is an informed one from which you experience no regrets.

Double glazing is a great way to enhance a property's energy efficiency without taking more drastic or invasive measures. These windows and doors come in a variety of different styles and types, and nearly every facet can be customised to be more efficient or less costly.

This makes double glazing a convenient, affordable option for families and homeowners of different walks of life and different incomes.
