Double glazing is the perfect choice for your home when you install a new uPVC window. One of its main draws is that it will give your home plenty of thermal efficiency. In this article, we will explore the ways your home can be more thermally efficient.
Double glazing consists of two thick panels which are sealed together by argon gas. They are excellent at heat retention because they will trap warm heat in your home, saving you money on your energy bills. This will help you reduce your carbon footprint and helping protect the environment.
It will also keep you warmer against tough weather conditions because the windows contain airtight and watertight seals, which will stop water from seeping in. This results in a dryer home in the long run. If you want to improve your windows’ thermal efficiency without having to get the professionals in, fit weather strips to the sides of your window. They are a cheap and efficient way to keep cold weather out, resulting in a warmer property. A good choice for uPVC windows is EPDM Rubber strips.
Another option to enhance your thermal efficiency is to add window film in your home because the thin and transparent polymer laminate will help the insulation quality improve straight away.
uPVC windows come in many different shapes and styles. One of the most popular styles is our uPVC casement windows because they bring together classic and modern performance. These windows are very good insulators of heat, giving you an improved standard of living.
You can even add glass with low emissions in it. Low E glass has a thin coating of metal glass on the internal surfaces. This will keep your home much warmer as a result while bringing in light from the outside. This way, your home will be a welcoming and warm living space.
The uPVC frames are very robust and warm and don’t need any maintenance. This means you can enjoy them for longer. They are very environmentally friendly because they can be recycled easily, so once they reach the end of their lifespan, they can be used into something new. Plus, the windows are A + rated for thermal efficiency so that you will save plenty of money in the long run.
