Energy crises around the UK have left people without any choice and to find ways where they can save extra money during this tough time.
Since energy bills have increased by up to 70%, there is no better time than now to look for ways to enhance your Windows performance which can save you money on your heating bills and reduce your bills.
Single-glazed windows are inefficient as they lose all of their heat through the windows which can lead to higher bills. This can contribute to a rise in energy prices and household bills.
If you upgrade your windows to be energy efficient this will provide a massive help in saving cost on bills. If you are seeking a long-term investment, it is very important to factor in the negative effect the old window will have on your home. Upgrading your old windows to secondary glazing will have a massive help.
What is Secondary Glazing?
First of all, let’s talk about what secondary glazing is.
Secondary glazing involves adding an extra layer inside of an existing window, creating a gap of air between the two glass layers. This air gap works as a barrier to reduce heat transfer, keeping the indoor space warm during cold weather and cool during hot weather. This enhances the thermal performance, provides noise reduction and better home security.
Secondary Glazing is a great way to upgrade your window without opting for any expensive options such as double or triple glazing. Secondary Glazing can enhance your window Thermal performance, reduce heat loss and noise reduction and provide home security.
Do I need to replace my windows?
You don’t have to change your windows. That’s why Secondary Glazing is a great solution, compare to other glazing where the window needs replacing which can be very costly and time-consuming. Secondary Glazing can easily fit with all types of windows and buildings, it’s a quick process and affordable. It is a great option to insulate your window without having to change them.
Less efficient than modern versions, some early sealed units from the 1980’s require an upgrade. Secondary glazing can help improve the performance of these windows. This is a great solution for historic and listed properties where planning permission is required.
