How Double Glazing Can Reduce Energy Bills This Winter

With energy prices continuing to rise in the UK, many homeowners are looking for ways to reduce their energy use. One of the best solutions is having modern, high performance double glazing installed.

At Amazing Glazing, we have helped many homeowners in Kent and the surrounding areas lower their heating bills and improve their home’s thermal performance with double glazing. We’ve put together this guide to show how it could save you money this winter and make your home more comfortable.

Understanding Heat Loss Through Windows

Up to 25% of your home’s heat can leak out through poorly insulated windows. Single-pane glass or older double glazed windows allow heat to escape.

When your home loses heat through the windows, your heating system is forced to work harder to compensate. This increases your energy bills and your carbon footprint. Quality double glazing cuts down heat loss and makes your home warmer.

How Modern Double Glazing Works

Modern windows have improved in how they look and how they work. Two panes of glass are positioned with an insulating gap between them. This gap is filled with Argon gas, which performs much better than regular air at keeping heat inside your home. Around the edges, special warm edge spacer bars help prevent heat from escaping – a common problem with older windows. The glass itself is treated with a special coating that acts like a mirror for heat, bouncing warmth back into your room instead of letting it escape outside.

These features are included in all our double glazed installations, whether it’s casement windows, sash windows, or patio doors.

Energy Ratings Explained

Modern windows have energy ratings like the ones found on appliances. Our uPVC windows earn A or even A+ ratings, which is the highest level. These ratings consider three main factors:

• Heat loss prevention
• Solar energy gain
• Air leaks

Understanding these ratings is important when picking new windows. A high rating means you can be sure that your windows are energy efficient. This helps your home retain heat and keeps your heating bills down.

Double vs Triple Glazing

While double glazing gives excellent insulation, triple glazing takes things a step further by adding one more pane of glass and an extra space filled with gas.

The choice between double and triple glazing depends on your needs and budget. Both options will dramatically reduce your home’s energy efficiency compared to single glazing or older double-glazed windows.

Beyond Energy Savings

While saving money on heating bills is a significant benefit, modern double glazing solves other common household problems.

If you live near a busy road or in a built-up area, you’ll notice a significant reduction in external noise. Our glass units act as an effective sound barrier, helping create a quieter, more peaceful home environment.

Double glazing also tackles the issue of condensation. Modern double glazing significantly reduces condensation by maintaining a more consistent temperature across the glass surface, helping protect your windowsills and walls from damp and mould problems.

Design Options

At Amazing Glazing, we offer four distinct window styles to suit any home.

Our popular casement windows are versatile and timeless, opening outward for good ventilation.

Our flush sash windows provide a sleek, modern look with their smooth, flat finish.
