Did you know that the average temperature in Oxford is 35 degrees in the winter months?
Not only is it that cold, but all that cold air could be seeping in through the windows and into your home!
Windows are a big factor when it comes to keeping the heat in, the cold out, and your energy bill down. It is time to discover the best way to protect your house and stay warm all winter. The new double glazing windows!
Here is everything you need to know about double glazing your windows in the Oxford area.
How They Work
Double glazed windows are not ordinary windows. Ordinary windows are made of a single sheet of glass. Double glazed windows are created with two sheets of glass. The windows are separated 20mm away from each other.
By creating this air gap, there is insulation between the two temperature zones, the inside of your house and the freezing cold outside.
Keep Your Money And Heat In
Because of the way they are built, you will end up keeping more of the warm air in your home and reduce the heat loss. The warmer air that hits the first pane of glass gets slowed down by thermal transfer. The heat stays in the room rather than continuing into the house.
This saves you money on your energy bill because you will not be cranking up the heat, and you will maintain the temperature of your home.
Minimize Noise
The two panes of glass help to stop the noise that is common when living in the city. Or towns like Stevenage, Luton, Bedford, St Albans, or Watford.
The sound vibrations can not easily pass through two layers of glass.
Increase The Value Of Your Home
Double glazing your windows can also increase the value of your home. The exterior of your home will not only look amazing with customisable options, but it will enhance the utility of your home.
The bills will be lower; the noise will be decreased, the home will feel new and fully functional for you or potential buyers.
Feeling Safe
When you add double glazed windows to your home, you are getting a Synseal SynerJy profile. The windows are beaded internally.
This means that you cannot take the glass out from the outside. The glass can only be taken out from the inside. This is the largest extruder window profile in the UK.
Shoot bolt locking systems are what is added on the windows as the locking mechanism. This is a multipoint shoot bolt lock.
You know that you are not only adding value to your home, but you are adding peace of mind.
