Double glazing installers South Ockendon
Double glazing is a term used to describe the use of two panes within a frame to reduce heat loss, and to block out external noise.
All homes lose heat via their external windows but by having energy efficient double glazing, you reduce this and help make your property warmer.
The space between the two panes of glass can be filled with a vacuum or a gas such as argon or krypton. Both of these methods help to increase the “R-value”, a measure of thermal resistance that is known in the industry.
You can have energy efficient double-glazed windows in a variety of frame materials such as traditional wood or uPVC. Of course different materials will have varying levels of energy efficiency, depending on how effective they are at preventing heat from escaping through the window, how much sunlight comes through the glass and how much air can leak in or out of the window surrounds.
A good way to choose a suitable window material is to research the manufacturers’ window energy rating which will show just how energy efficient their products are.
You need to consider the number of windows on your property that you want to replace, the type of frame (wood or uPVC), and the frame sizes. uPVC is much more affordable when compared to wooden framed equivalents which can be substantially more expensive.
