Investing in double glaze windows involves considering various factors like design, color, and size, all of which impact the cost. But what makes these windows worth it?
Double glazing creates insulation by separating two glass panes with vacuumed air or special gas, reducing heat transfer. This vacuum-packed double pane offers superior attributes:
-
Soundproofing: The double-glazed construction provides enhanced soundproofing, keeping unwanted noise from entering your home. Enjoy a peaceful and quiet environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
-
Strength: Double-glazed windows are more robust and durable compared to single-pane windows. The two glass panes provide extra strength and resistance to breakage, enhancing the security of your home.
-
Insulation: The sealed air or gas-filled space between the glass panes acts as an effective thermal barrier. It prevents heat from escaping during winter and keeps the heat out during summer, ensuring a comfortable indoor temperature year-round.
With double glaze windows, you can maintain a controlled temperature inside, keeping heat out and cool air in.
So, how much do double-glazed windows cost? The size of the pane plays a significant role, regardless of the framing material used. Additionally, consider any extra features like opening and closing mechanisms when estimating the installation cost.
While the initial investment may seem substantial, the long-term savings are exponential. Expect a 30% reduction in heat loss/gain, resulting in significant energy bill savings. Other benefits include:
- Extended lifespan of 20+ years
- Reduced carbon emissions (up to 680 kg per year)
- Increased home value due to potential energy savings
- Noise reduction inside and outside the home
When it comes to cost versus quality, comparing multiple quotes is crucial. Double glazing can be as affordable as standard windows while offering superior design, insulation, and energy efficiency.
