If you’re considering investing in double glazing for your home, you’re making a smart choice. At Abbey Windows, we install a wide range of double glazing products for homeowners in Reading and the surrounding areas. Double glazing offers a range of benefits, including improved energy efficiency, noise reduction, and security. However, with so many options available in the market, it can be overwhelming to know what to look for when buying double glazing. In this guide, we will walk you through the key factors to consider, ensuring that you make an informed decision and choose the right double glazing products for your home.
Energy Efficiency
One of the main reasons for double glazing is its energy-saving properties. When looking for double glazing, pay attention to the energy efficiency rating. The higher the rating, the more efficient it will be at retaining heat in your home.
At Abbey Windows, we believe that keeping your home insulated this winter is a priority. That’s why we work with market leading manufacturers such as Origin and Liniar to supply their wide selection of uPVC and aluminium products. Our windows and doors are A+ rated for energy efficiency, so you could benefit from some of the warmest doors on the market.
Consider the Type of Glass
Double glazing consists of two glass panes with a gap in between, which is filled with air or an insulating gas, such as argon. Consider the type of glass used in the double glazing units. Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass has a reflective metal oxide coating that helps bounce sunlight back into the room. Not only can this help save on energy bills, but it can make your home warmer.
Frame Materials
The frame material plays a crucial role in the overall performance and aesthetics of your double glazing. At Abbey Windows, we offer uPVC and aluminium frames for our windows and doors, which are durable and sleek. You can benefit from a modern, contemporary look.
Security Features
Look for windows and doors with multi-point locking systems, reinforced frames, and toughened or laminated glass. At Abbey Windows, our double glazed products are designed with multi point locks and shootbolts as standard, which could help stop any unwanted break ins. This way, you and your family could stay safer for longer.
Noise Reduction
If you live in a busy area or noisy street, then our products could be the right choice for you. Double glazing is soundproof, which could help cut loud noises to a whisper. Feel assured that when you choose Abbey’s uPVC windows or composite doors, you can enjoy a quiet and comfortable home.
Quality of Installation
The quality of installation is as important as the quality of the double-glazing products themselves. Here at Abbey Windows, we have been installing double glazing products for almost 40 years.
