The Benefits of Double Glazing Replacement Windows

Double glazing windows provide homeowners many benefits. They can cut down on heat loss in winter, glare, and shield furniture from damage caused by the sun.

Double-glazed windows consist of two glass panes separated with an air gap filled with an insulating gas like argon. This significantly increases the insulating properties of the window.

To maximize the efficiency of your double-glazed window, make sure you use spacers that contain no or little metal. These are called 'warm edge spacers'.
