Fitting triple glazing all across Surrey in 2016
The British weather is notoriously unpredictable, and we’re seeing more extreme climate changes than we’ve ever seen before. From 15-degree days near Christmas to freezing cold February mornings, the weather in the UK can be harsh at times, and that can cost us money.
While smart thermostats certainly play a part in reducing your use of energy, benefits also come from insulating your home effectively, and this should be your first port of call. If you’ve already insulated your roof space, and had cavity wall insulation added, you might be considering other products that could help reduce your bills, like triple glazed windows, doors and bifolds.
Why triple glazing?
For many homeowners around the world, triple glazing is already standard issue. Scandinavians enjoy some of the most efficient windows in the world, although they also don’t come cheap. As you’d expect, triple glazing costs significantly more than double glazing, so the question is: is it worth the money?
If you’ve got single glazing at the moment, we always recommend you go straight to triple glazing if you have the means to do so. The difference in terms of energy efficiency is massive, and it will add considerably to the value of your home. Because the windows are more expensive, they won’t necessarily pay for themselves in energy savings. However, you will notice that your home is snug, warm, and suffers fewer draughts and cold spots.
The other major reason for choosing triple glazing is to insulate against noise from outside. In the London area, this can be a considerable advantage if you live on a main commuter route. This is why so many hotels in cities have triple glazing: the difference in sleep quality can be massive.
