The efficiency of double-glazed windows is facilitated by the sealed air gap between the two panes glass. The air gap reduces the noise and cold air transfer into your home. This performance is further enhanced by the fact that the majority of double-glazed windows are filled with inert gases like argon which has low conductivity properties, which can increase insulation.
The insulation properties of double-glazed windows also help to keep your home at a pleasant temperature in winter. This is because the air space between the panes restricts the circulation of heat from the outside. The same process works in the summer, blocking heat from escaping the property.
Double glazing also protects your windows from the intense sunlight's ultraviolet rays. The thick glass of double-glazed windows can reflect UV radiation instead of absorbing it. This means that your furniture, carpets and curtains will not fade over time. Additionally, the glass is designed to be tough and can stand up to a lot of pressure without breaking or shattering.
