The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows

Double-glazed windows permit less heat to escape, thereby capturing it in the winter. They also limit the amount UV that enters the room, preventing damage on your furniture and artwork.

Britelite offers a wide range of affordable triple and double glazing windows, doors and conservatories. The products it offers are certified to meet the strict BSI Kitemark security standards.





Energy efficiency

Making the investment in energy efficient double glazing will improve the appearance and feel your home, and also reduce energy bills. It works by capturing pockets of warm air while keeping cold draughts out. This will lower your heating costs and carbon footprint.

Eden Windows uses uPVC frames which are as robust and efficient as they are. The frames are designed to have a a sleek look without compromising strength. Your new windows will be stylish for a long time, and will be easy to maintain.

Traditional windows are a major contributor to energy bills. However, installing double glazing in your Bromley home can stop this loss of heat and ensure your home is comfortable all year.

A double-glazed window consists of two glass panes that have an air gap between them. The air gap between the two glass panes is filled with argon, which enhances the insulation. The two layers of glass stop the heat from leaving your home.

The insulated design of double glazed windows also limits condensation, which can cause damage to carpets and furniture. Additionally, double glazing acts as a sound-proofing device that allows you to experience peace and tranquility in your home. It will also assist you to avoid overheating during the summer.

Reduced condensation

Many people worry that double-glazed windows suffer from condensation, but the truth is that they're much more efficient in energy use and less susceptible to this problem. Internal condensation happens when there's too much humidity in the room or if it is too cold. It can be avoided by improving ventilation and removing the sources of moisture like houseplants and hair from pets. Condensation also needs to be removed quickly since the lingering condensation on surfaces could cause rot and mould growth.

In the case of double glazed windows, condensation can appear on the outside of the window panes while they begin to warm up in the morning or when you switch the heating on. This is normal and will disappear as the glass warms up. It is important to remember that condensation does not just build up on windows. It can also form on the sills, frames and plaster reveal of aluminium, wood or uPVC frames.

If your double-glazed windows have condensation between the panes, this is an indication that the seal has deteriorated. It is possible to have this repaired, however sealing again can be expensive and does not address the root cause of the issue. It is therefore worth evaluating whether replacing windows is a better and cost-effective option in the long run. This is a choice that must be negotiated with the window makers, as it will be contingent on their expected lifespan.

Better sound insulation

One of the most appealing aspects about double glazing is that it's a great method to cut down on noise outside your home. If you live near a bustling highway, airport or railway station or in the event that your neighbors are noisy, double glazing is a great way to reduce the noise.

Double-glazed windows consist of two panes separated by an inert gas, or air. The glass itself is more dense than one pane, which means it doesn't vibrate as easily when a sound hits it. The argon gas inside the panes also has different properties than regular air, and therefore can dampen vibrations of sound waves before they reach you.

This will help create a quieter home, perfect to rest your head at night or a peaceful ambience. You can go further and choose acoustic glasses that are designed to reduce the sound levels.

This kind of double glazing has a bonded internal layer which helps block out and reduce the sound. This type of double-glazing is more expensive than standard double-glazing but it's well worth the investment to reduce noise levels at home. It's important to remember that this isn't a soundproof solution and that you'll still must block out outside noise by using other measures such as sound insulation and a solid wall.

Safety is improved

Installing a double-glazed window can keep your home safe against burglars. Double-glazed windows are more secure than single panes. They are also more difficult to open from the outside. Additionally, they are also resistant to harsh weather conditions like snow, rain or even hot temperatures. They are the best option to ensure your family's security.

The air between the two panes functions as thermal insulation, reducing the loss of energy. This can help homeowners save money on their energy costs as it keeps the warmth in during colder weather and stops the warm air from escaping. This can also decrease the requirement for artificial heat and help reduce the cost of electricity.

We offer a range of different options for glazing from traditional energy efficiency to industry-leading Comfort Glass, which features an innovative laminate layer and Low-E coating to block 56% more heat escaping your home than standard double-glazing. The type of glass you choose will depend on the specific requirements of your Bromley or Croydon home. For example, our Comfort Plus glass option is ideal for rooms prone to overheating, as it stops the sun from shining through and causing destruction to furniture.

Repair My Windows And Doors offer a number of secondary glazing options that can be fitted to frames already in place to enhance their performance. There are tinted or toned glasses that can reduce the amount of sunlight that passes through them, and reflective coatings which can reflect more heat back into the room.
