There are more benefits than just a good looking conservatory or porch adding value to your home. Double Glazing is a well established way of saving energy and reducing your carbon footprint.

The list illustrating the main benefits taken from the Energy Saving Trust gives the details.

 

The benefits of double glazing

• Smaller energy bills: replacing all single glazed windows with energy efficient glazing could save you around £135 per year on your energy bills!
• A smaller carbon footprint: by using less fuel, you’ll generate less of the carbon dioxide (CO2) that leads to global warming.
• A more comfortable home: energy efficient glazing reduces heat loss through windows and means fewer draughts and cold spots.
• Peace and quiet: as well as keeping the heat in, energy efficient windows insulate your home against unwanted outside noise.
• Reduced condensation: energy efficient glazing reduces condensation build-up on the inside of windows.

The costs and savings of double glazing will be different for each home and each window, depending on the size, material and installer.
