Benefits of Double Glazing
Our double glazing excels when it comes to energy efficiency. The insulating barrier it creates significantly reduces the amount of heat that escapes from your home, meaning your heating system doesn’t have to work as hard. This can lead to substantial savings on your energy bills. For example, a Taunton home with our double glazing will have a heating system that doesn’t have to work overtime, especially during the cold Somerset winters, leading to lower energy costs.
In addition to energy efficiency, our double glazing also provides increased noise insulation. The two panes of glass and the insulating gap in between act as a barrier, reducing the amount of noise that can enter your home. This can be particularly beneficial if you live in a busy area of Taunton. Moreover, our double glazed windows also offer enhanced security features, harder to break into in order to provide peace of mind for Taunton residents and to ensure they are kept safe and secure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is double glazing?
Double glazing consists of two glass panes that are separated and filled with argon gas. The density of argon prevents heat from escaping, providing better thermal insulation.
Double glazing also offers noise insulation by acting as a barrier for sound waves. The glass panes and argon gas naturally dampen external noise by preventing sound waves from travelling through.
Should I replace my double glazing?
Over time, your double glazing will become less thermally efficient, so you should consider replacing it. By upgrading to our thermally efficient double glazing, your home will be draft-proof, cost-effective, secure, and warm.
Will double glazing reduce condensation?
Yes, it will. Condensation occurs when warm air comes into contact with a cool glass surface. Single glazing, with only one pane of glass, experiences a greater temperature difference between the inside and outside of the glass.
In contrast, double glazing uses argon gas to reduce heat transfer between the glass panes. As a result, the inner pane remains warmer than the outer one, leading to less condensation.
What’s the lifespan of double glazing?
The longevity of double glazing depends on several factors. Typically, double glazing works at its best for 20-30 years. To prolong its lifespan, it’s important to have reputable installers fit your windows and perform regular maintenance.
If you feel cold air coming through the frame or notice drafts, your double glazing may be compromised.
