Energy Efficient Double Glazed Replacement Windows

Double-glazed windows are the perfect method to increase your home's energy efficiency. They reduce the amount of heat that escapes your home and help to keep your home cool during summer and warmer during winter.

They also cut down on noise from outside so they are a great choice for homes near airports or roads that are busy. UPVC is the most well-known but there are other alternatives.

Energy efficiency

Window replacements are a common practice for homeowners to get increased energy efficiency and insulation. Single-glazed windows can contribute to drafts, leaks, and windy conditions during the winter. Double glazed replacement windows eliminate both problems, and provide optimal performance throughout the entire year.

They do this by ensuring that the space between the two panes are left as a vacuum or filled with a dense gas, such as argon, which forms an airtight seal. This reduces heat loss because it keeps the warm air inside and the cold out. It is not necessary to turn on the thermostat as often in winter.

This insulation layer also helps keep sun's heat out of your home so you don't have to run the air conditioner as much in the summer. With the current household energy prices in Australia, you can cut your energy costs by making your home more efficient by installing double glazing.

Double glazed replacement windows are also superior at reducing the sound from outside, whether it's cars traveling along the road or dogs barking, or people strolling by your window. This can help you have the best night's sleep so you'll be more productive during the day.

Condensation can be very damaging to your windows, causing water droplets to build up between the glass and frame. Double glazed windows can prevent this from happening by ensuring that the temperature of your interior window is in line with the temperature of the air in your home. This reduces humidity, and therefore condensation.

Low E glass

One of the most effective ways to improve efficiency is by installing double glazed replacement windows with low E glass. The "e" of low E stands for emissivity. It is a measure of how much heat can be transferred through your windows. The lower the emissivity, the better the insulation. This is because infrared rays and ultraviolet rays are not transferred from outside to the interior. By limiting the transmission of these rays, you can reduce your cooling and heating costs.

The insulating properties of low E glass are created by a microscopic, invisible layer of silver, zinc or indium tin oxide that is deposited on the window's pane. The coating is transparent, which means it doesn't affect the amount of visible sunlight that enters your windows. The coating is reflective, which makes infrared rays as well as ultraviolet rays to bounce back to the point they originated, instead of passing through your window. This lets you maintain the temperature of your home, while enjoying bright natural light.

In contrast to standard thermal films which are typically placed on the outside of your window or drapes, low E coatings won't impede the view and let you enjoy your view without sacrificing insulation. The coating is applied on the inner side of the glass in the window. This makes it an integral part of the insulated-glazing unit (IGU). Low E glass can achieve an U-value of 0.9 when combined with warm edge spacer bars and the argon fill cavities.

The reduction of UV rays may also help to reduce the fading of furniture, carpets and curtains. This can save you money on replacing these items, as well as easing the burden of dealing with fade and discoloration.

The addition of low E glass in your double-glazed windows can cut down on the amount of sun and heat that enters your home.
