We have all heard the cliche: beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people adore their uPVC windows. However, over the last couple of years, wooden frames and others are going to need to rip them out.

If your seal is broken and dirt or moisture is starting to show, it is best to have the window replaced. Shopping is about the experience, so what better way to choose the perfect installation for your property than to look, touch and compare quality products?

The biggest benefit that double glazing offers, and the thing for which it was originally conceived, is to reduce heat loss in an interior space. Double glazing prevents as much heat from escaping a property, and limits the amount of draft that can enter through the seams. Double glazing also provides effective acoustic insulation when compared with single glazing, as the amount of sound that can enter through a double glazed installation is reduced by the additional material, and the vacuum between the two panels.
When sound waves hits a surface, some bounce off, some are absorbed, and some pass through the material. The extra materials used and the empty space between them provide a multitude of buffers, which in plain terms, makes a house quieter.
The simple presence of two panes of glass set in the same frame provide, quite literally, an extra layer of security to a property. Condensation forms on surfaces that are cooler than the surrounding air which is why windows in a car steam up on a cold day - the window is cold, but inside of the car is warm.
This in turn can help reduce the moisture inside a property, helping to prevent problems like mould, or laundry that takes forever to dry.
How do double glazed windows reduce heat loss? Despite these multiple benefits that double glazing offers, almost all home or property owners choose to either upgrade due to the reduction in heat loss it offers. This is usually because reduced heat loss means less need for additional heating, ergo, less money sent on expensive heating bills. So how does this work? Double glazing reduces heat loss by limiting how much heat can escape a property through both conduction and convectio n.
Conduction involves heat being transferred through a material: heat hits the glass, and is then transferred through the panel to the outside world - in the case of single glazing, heat hits the panel, and is then passed fairly effectively to the outdoors, effectively sucking the warmth. Convection occurs when heat is transferred through a moving liquid or a gas - in this case, air, o r sometimes argon. Air is a poor conductor of heat, so the vacuum in double glazing acts as a blockade, preventing the conducted heat from convecting.
In tackling both of these processes simultaneously, double glazing works to eliminate heat transfer. Types of double glazing. Frames can also be constructed in aluminium, and wood, and advances in modern technology mean that not only can these now be massive in size, but they can also work equally as effectively as UpVC, both visually and practically speaking.
This stands for low emissivity glass. Float glass is the term applied to the technique used to produce the majority of modern glass for windows and other installations.
