Types of energy saving windows you can install include double glazed windows, triple glazed windows or secondary glazed windows. Good energy efficient windows, besides saving you money on your heating bills and keeping you warm and cosy in your home, also reduces your carbon footprint and so is great for the environment. As well as reducing the loss of heat it will make your home a less draughty place and get rid of those cold spots in your house that drive you crazy!! Double or triple glazed windows will also cut out the noise levels from outside your home or from next door, which is particularly useful if you live on a busy road or you have noisy neighbours!! Lastly double or triple glazed windows, if you have an expert window installer who supplies you a quality product, can greatly reduce the amount of condensation in your home which can of course lead to dampness and mould.
Want to know how energy efficient windows work in practice? Well here goes:
Double glazed windows as you probably know have 2 sheets of glass with a gap of about 16mm in between them (the gap between the pains is often filled with gas) and this gap insulates the home to keep the heat in and reduce the chances of any condensation. Triple glazed windows have 3 sheets of glass so in theory give you even greater protection from draughts and heat loss.
Make sure you get a good window supplier as it is vital the windows are installed correctly and that they are of superior quality. They must be installed so no air escapes through the windows, they should let plenty of sunlight through and of course they should insulate and keep the heat in your home.
