Five Good Reasons to get New Windows
1 – Energy savings mean money for being green.
Investing in double glazing will save you roughly a quarter of your heating bills, potentially hundreds of pounds a year. Houses with single-glazed windows lose about two thirds of the heat they generate during a day through their windows. Double glazing can significantly cut this heat loss, sometimes by as much as 50 per cent. And for those of us who are concerned about the environment, reducing domestic energy consumption is going to play a major part in cutting down the greenhouse gas emissions we produce. Getting double glazing means you will use less energy to generate heat for your home, and play a part in reducing the total power demands of our society.

2 – First-rate security.
As any cat burglar will tell you, the easiest entry points for intruders into people’s homes are the windows and doors. Old windows often utilise primitive locks, and are easy for criminals to force their way through. There have been many advances in window locking mechanisms in recent years, and modern double glazed windows come with built in multi-point and shoot bolt locking systems as standard. They also include secure glazing beads, which are impossible to remove from the outside and reinforced restrictor mechanisms to protect the vulnerable hinge side of the window.

3 – Add some style to your home.
Getting new double glazing is a great opportunity to kit your home out with the latest frame designs – adding a touch of class to your property, as well as increasing its value. Most double glazing companies will offer you a good variety of styles, from diamond and square lead patterns, to coloured glass and bevel effects. Frame finishes include softwood, hardwood, timber and even aluminium, and don’t forget it’s not just square windows you can get – specialties such as French windows and patio doors look great too. Fitting in stylish new windows is a great way to complement other home improvement work you’re doing.

4 – Reduced noise pollution.
If you live near a busy road or near an airport, you’ll know all about the stress of noise pollution. Double glazing can significantly reduce the sound that comes through your windows, and turn your home into a much more peaceful environment.
