When most people think of double glazing, it’s usually to keep the cold out during the chilly winter months. At Oxford Double Glazing, we understand this common perception – but we also know that the benefits of double glazing extend beyond just keeping warm in the winter. Installing new double glazed windows and doors in your home offers advantages all year that improve energy efficiency, increase security, and improve the overall comfort of your home.
Double glazing is essentially 2 panes of glass with a gap in between filled with gas. The entire glazed unit is sealed to create an airtight barrier that improves thermal efficiency, reduces noise, and helps prevent condensation.
This high-quality glazing solution can be used for a range of windows, including tilt and turn windows, casement windows, and bow and bay windows. Double glazing can also be used in bifold doors, French doors, patio doors, and in conservatories of all kinds.
This versatile solution not only upgrades the appearance of your home but also delivers year-round comfort and energy savings. By upgrading to double glazing, you may lower energy bills, enjoy a warmer home in winter, and a cooler interior in summer – all while adding value to your property. This guide will help you understand the year-round benefits of double glazed windows and doors.
During winter, double glazing helps retain the warmth that is generated within the home, reducing heat loss. However, in the summer months, double glazing equally prevents excessive heat from entering your property. The insulation of double glazing can work to keep your home cooler naturally, which reduces reliance on fans.
This means that with double glazing, you can maintain a comfortable indoor temperature throughout the year, not just when the temperature drops.
Comfort is not only about temperature – noise pollution can be an issue for homes in the busy areas of Oxford. Double glazed windows and doors can dampen outside noise and offer a quieter and more comfortable living environment. This is especially ideal for the summer months – when windows are often left open and homeowners are in their gardens for longer.
The insulation of double glazed units helps to quieten external sounds in the spring and summer, improving the quality of your home.
Security concerns can affect homeowners all year, and at Oxford Double Glazing, we think it is a top priority. Double glazing can upgrade the safety of your home as the additional pane of glass creates a strong barrier against potential intruders.
Choosing high-quality double glazing from a trusted installer such as Oxford Double Glazing means your home benefits from the latest security technology, giving you peace of mind all year round.
Double glazing is highly energy efficient, therefore reducing your carbon footprint as heating systems do not have to work as hard. This efficient glazing retains heat in the winter and prevents heat from entering in the summer, translating to lower energy consumption.
