The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows
Comparatively to windows that are single-glazed, double-glazed windows permit little heat to escape and trap it during the winter. They also reduce the amount UV rays that pass through and can cause damage to your furniture and artwork.
Britelite has a large selection of triple and double glazed windows, doors and conservatories at affordable prices. The products are certified by Britelite to meet the strict BSI Kitemark security standards.
Energy efficiency
Investing in energy efficient double glazing can improve the appearance and feel of your home, and also reduce energy costs. It works by trapping in pockets of warm air and keeping cold draughts out. This allows you to use less heating which will result in lower energy bills and a reduction in your carbon footprint.
Eden Windows uses uPVC frames which are as robust and efficient as they are. The frames have been designed for a sleek look without compromising strength. This means that your new windows will be simple to maintain and keep looking good for years to be.
Traditional windows allow in lots of heat loss, which can lead to higher energy costs. Installing double glazing in Bromley can stop heat loss, making your home more comfortable all through the season.
Double-glazed windows have two panes with an air space between them. The air space between the two panes of glass is filled with argon which enhances the insulation. The two layers of glass block the heat from leaving your home.
The insulated design of double glazed windows can also limit condensation, which can cause damage to carpets and furniture. Furthermore, the double glazing creates a sound barrier, so you can enjoy peace and quiet at your home. It will also help you to keep cool during summer.
Reduced condensation
Many people are concerned that double-glazed windows be affected by condensation, but the reality is that they're much more energy efficient and less prone to this problem. Internal condensation happens when there's not enough moisture in the space or if it's too cold. It can be prevented by improving ventilation, removing moisture sources like houseplants and hair from pets. Condensation should be removed as soon as possible as it could cause mould and rot if it is left on surfaces.
Double-glazed windows may show condensation on the outside of the panes as they warm up the next morning or switch on the heating. This is normal, and the condensation will disappear as the glass warms. It is important to keep in mind that condensation can develop not only on windows but as well on frames, sills, and plaster reveal on wood or uPVC frames.
If your double-glazed windows show condensation between the panes, it is a sign that the seal has worn away. It is possible to have the seal repaired, but sealing again can be expensive and does not address the root cause of the problem. It is important to think about whether it is more economically efficient to replace windows over the long run. This is a decision which should be made in consultation with window manufacturers, since it will depend upon their lifespan.

Double glazing can be a wonderful way to reduce outside noise. If you live near a busy highway, railway or airport or in the event that your neighbors are noisy, double glazing is a great way to reduce the noise.
This is because double-glazed windows have two layers of glass separated by a space filled with air or inert gas. The glass is thicker and thus doesn't sway as much when sound hits it. The argon in between the panes exhibits different properties like air and it can dampen vibrations before they reach you.
This will help create a quieter home environment, perfect for a peaceful night's rest or for a relaxing atmosphere. You can go one step further and opt for acoustic glasses that are specifically designed to lower noise levels.
This type of double-glazing has an internal layer that's bonded to help reduce noise and absorb it. This type of double glazing is more expensive than regular double-glazing, but it's a worthwhile investment to lower the sound levels in your home. It's important that you realize that it's not a soundproofing solution and that you still need to block outside noise by using other methods like sound insulation and walls that are solid.
Increased safety
If installed the double glazed window can keep your home safe from intruders. In contrast to single pane windows double glazed ones are sealed more tightly and are harder to open from the outside. They are also resistant to harsh weather conditions like rain, snow or the hot temperatures. They are the most effective way to ensure your family's safety.
The space between the two panes of glass creates an air layer, which acts as thermal insulation to limit the loss of energy. This can help homeowners save money on their energy bills as it keeps the warmth inside during colder seasons and stops the warm air from venting. This can also decrease the requirement for artificial heat, which can help reduce the cost of electricity.
We offer a variety of different options for glazing, from basic energy efficiency to industry-leading Comfort Glass, which features an innovative laminate layer and a Low-E coating that stops 56% more heat escaping your home than standard double-glazing. The glass you choose to use will depend on the needs of your Bromley or Croydon home. For instance our Comfort Plus glass option is ideal for rooms prone to overheating, as it prevents the sun from shining in and causing damage to furniture.
We also offer a variety of secondary glazing treatments that can be fitted to frames already in place to enhance their performance. There are tinted or toned glasses which can reduce the amount sunlight that passes through them as well as reflective coatings which can reflect more heat back into the room.
