Argon is a colorless, odorless, non-reactive gas that has low thermal conductivity, making it an excellent insulator. This property allows argon to be used in between glass panes in double glazing windows to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency.

How does double glazing cut down noise?

Double glazing basically means that there is a sealant on both sides of the glass in a window. Single glazing means that one side of the glass is against the wood without additional putty in place. Having the putty or sealant on both sides of the glass gives a better seal against air. It also buffers the glass a bit. Since sound travels through air, better seal means less noise.


Why use double glazing?

Double glazing helps improve energy efficiency in the home as it is has superior heat insulator properties to a single pane window. Double glazed windows usually carry the beenfit of being fitted with excellent anti-burglar locks which are recognised by insurance companies in the UK. The standard for double glazed windows is Pilkington K Glass which is manufactured in Italy. The benefits of double glazing are simple; double glazing saves you money, reduces your energy bills and reduces your carbon footprint. Save money on energy bills by replacing all the single glazed windows in your home with energy efficient glazing. This could save you around £135 per year on your energy bills. Reduce your carbon footprint by cutting down on the energy used to heat your home because less heat is escaping through your windows. You will generate less carbon dioxide (CO2) which is what leads to global warming. Be more comfortable in your home as energy efficient double glazing reduces heat loss through windows and means fewer draughts and cold spots. More peace and quiet because as well as keeping the heat in, energy efficient double glazed windows can insulate your home against unwanted outside noise. Reduce condensation beccause energy efficient double glazing reduces condensation build-up on the inside of windows. The costs and savings of double glazing will be different for each home and each window, depending on the size, material and installer. But on average fitting double glazing to your home can save around £135 a year on your heating bills, in addition to saving around 720kg of CO2 (carbon dioxide).
