Why install double glazing
Many homes have double glazed windows and doors, because people realise just how many benefits there are. Single pane windows and doors are rarely installed nowadays, as they are draughty and let in outside noise. Adding double glazing to your home will increase the value of your house, as well as making it easier to sell as most people nowadays consider double glazing essential.
Double glazing is two panes of glass together with a gap in between, which is dried with a drying agent to ensure no moisture remains. The air trapped between the panes of glass acts as insulation, stopping draughts and keeping noise out. Once you have installed double glazed windows and doors, you will notice savings on your heating bills.
Double glazing is also environmentally friendly, as it reduces carbon dioxide emissions from homes and combats energy loss. As well as reducing noise levels and retaining heat in the home, you will see that window condensation will reduce drastically, with no more wet windowsills.
Fitting double glazed windows and doors to your home will help increase the security of your home. Double glazing is extremely hard to break, and comes with a secure locking system, making it difficult for an intruder to gain access through the doors or windows – the usual access points.
An integral part of the style of your home is the exterior, particularly the windows and doors. They can fit in with the surrounding houses and the period within which they were built. You can purchase double glazing accordingly in many different colours and styles. Fitting double glazing yourself is relatively easy, with a reputable DIY store able to supply your materials. The windows should have a minimum 10 year guarantee and a secure locking system. Ensure the locks comply with your home insurance standards to remain covered under your policy. Before purchasing the windows, seek advice on safety windows and whether you require toughened safety glass. You should also choose a window that will allow you to escape in the case of fire.
Here at Wickes, we stock many types of windows, all of which conform to British standards with secure locking systems and internal beading, which adds to your security. We also have leaflets full of ideas as well as experience staff who can offer advice.
For instance, you may want to consider windows with hinges that allow opening to clean easily from the inside. This is especially useful if you don’t have access to local window cleaners. Double glazing doesn’t require regular maintenance other than cleaning periodically. There is no painting or varnishing to do and no maintenance of hinges or locks.
When purchasing double glazed windows and doors, check whether the company will deliver, and if so, how long you will have to wait. Many companies can take several weeks to assemble your order. At Wickes, most of our products are held in our warehouse and are ready for delivery.
Installing double glazing will increase the value of your home, improve energy efficiency, soundproof your home and improve the appearance.
