Double-glazing
is when the window is formed by using
two panes of glass with a space
between the panes.
The space between the two panes
is generally only several millimeters
thick.
The air or gas trapped between
the panes of glass form an insulating
layer.
Double-glazing
windows have to be airtight in order
to provide the utmost efficiency.
When condensation forms between
the two panes this indicates that the
window is not airtight, nor is it
energy efficient, and should be
replaced.
Double-glazing windows cannot
be repaired.
Approximately
60% of a homes heat is lost through
standard, single pane windows.
Double-glazing substantially
reduces the amount of heat loss and
quickly reduces energy bills by
approximately 10 to 12%.
Double-glazing
is also environmentally friendly as it
reduces the amount of carbon dioxide
emissions.
Installing double-glazed
windows reduce your heating bills,
helps the environment and they also
cut down on noise pollution and
internal condensation.
