With energy bills rising, we understand many of our customers are looking for ways to reduce their energy bills and upgrading your windows is the perfect way to do this. Although double glazing has become an increasingly popular choice for windows and doors, there are alternatives that you can consider for your home. Each option has different features that will benefit your home differently.
The benefits of double glazing
Modern double glazing is an exceptional choice for British homeowners, thanks to its many benefits. Most homeowners know that double glazing is great for improving the overall thermal efficiency of their homes but not many realise how much it can help. 10% of your homes overall heat is lost through inefficient windows, by upgrading to double glazing you can keep your home comfortable all year and reduce your energy bills.
Secondary glazing
Secondary glazing is a fantastic option for properties in conservation areas as you’re able to keep the existing windows but receive all the added benefits of modern glazing. At Halstead Glass, we offer Granada secondary glazing it’s an easy, no-fuss installation that can reduce the heat loss in your home by up to 65%.
The Granada profiles improve the overall security of your home, they’re manufactured using toughened glass and the best grade aluminium for a virtually unbreakable window unit. As aluminium is incredible strong it’s able to hold much larger panes of glass whilst boasting ultra-slim sight-lines.
Secondary glazing looks great on both traditional and modern homes thanks to its customisation options. You’re able to choose a profile that seamlessly fits your existing window, down to the size, style and shape of the window. Granada secondary glazing frames are also available in 100s of RAL colours.
Triple glazing
In place of double glazing, there’s also the option to choose triple glazing, it’s able to achieve lower U-values and is the most energy-efficient glazing type. The additional glass pane won’t just keep your home more comfortable, but it will also reduce the noise pollution entering your home.
A triple glazed window offers the ultimate security from potential intruders. Double glazing is already incredibly durable, so the additional layer only makes a stronger and more secure window. All our products are manufactured to exceed PAS24:2012 certification so you’ll have full peace of mind regardless of the glazing you opt for.
