Cheap Double Glazing

Todays double glazing units are mainly made from PVCu which is a form of plastic which has helped bring the cost of the product right down without reducing the quality of the product.

Although by having it installed you will reduce the heat lost through your windows by up to 10 or 12% the savings you will make on your heating bills will not cover the cost of your windows for a considerable ammount of time so bear this in mind when making any decision.
Security
With the many differnt locking mechanisms available and the flexibility of the products having double glazing fitted can help make your home more secure as its increasingly difficult for anybody to tamper with and break into.
Sound Insulation
Most people will tell each other that they have had double glazing installed to keep the noise out. Although your normal glazing will provide some form of insulation against noise if this is your primary reason for wanting it installed then secondary double glazing is probably the better option. This process involves fitting another single glazed unit infront of the existing window providing another barrier for the sound. The bigger the air gap the more efficient the sound insulation will be.
Visual Representation and Performance
Double glazing aswell as coming in PVCu can also take the form of, hardwood and softwood to give your home that more traditional look whilst still providing the level of security and energy saving aspects as described above. Compared to older style windows the modern double glazed window looks a lot more sleek and stylish and with it coming in many different materials and colours you are sure to find the window that best suits your home.
Double glazing units are much easier to clean and also allow people to reduce or eliminate the need for window coverings such as netting making the ideal choice for low maintenance customers.
