Introduction 

If your single glazed property is outdated, then it might be time to switch to double glazing. It has become a more popular choice in recent years, but you might be wondering how it will help you. At Abbey, we are experts in double glazing, and in this article, we will list the benefits in abundance. Read on to find out more.

At Abbey, our products, such as windows and doors, all include double glazing as standard. It’s made from two thick glass panes that are fitted together with argon gas, which will protect your home against tough weather conditions. What’s more, having double glazing in your home will result in better insulation long term because the thick panes of glass stop heat from escaping, which is ideal in winter months with prices skyrocketing.

This insulation will also translate well in the summer because the extremely warm air will be left outside. It ensures that your home’s temperature will be regulated all year round. So you can now enjoy warmer winters and cooler summers. This will also save you money on your air conditioning bills as well. Both of these benefits that we’ve just mentioned will help you reduce your carbon footprint levels, which are beneficial for the environment.

Double Glazing for Noise Reduction

In addition to outstanding thermal efficiency, your home will be safe. The glazing is fitted in tightly within the frame, which ensures that tools such as crowbars won’t be able to pry their way through. Feeling secure is essential when you move to a new home. Furthermore, you’ll be protected from the worst weather conditions as well because it stands firm against violent winds

Another distinctive feature is the weather seal that is included with the glazing. This ensures that cold spots of air won’t enter your home, so your home is warmer as a result. The seal will reduce mould and damp spots, which is essential because they can cause health problems and illnesses in the long run so that you will breathe cleaner air. 

Double glazing isn’t just a good insulator of heat, but it reduces noise levels as well. If you live in a busy area such as a roadside or near an airport, you are more susceptible to noise rising. Double glazing creates a barrier between the outside world and your home, meaning you will experience a quieter space in the long term. If you have a room you want to use for an office or you just want to relax, then installing these windows is crucial to living in a quiet living space.
