I was born into a family that owned and operated a double glazing repair and installation business. Through the years, I have been involved in every aspect of the double glazing industry, including Sales, Marketing, Installation, Design, repairs & customer service. But now I'm turning my attention to my Double Glazing Blog. Through these many years of service, I have come across every problem in the industry; double glazing can be a cut-throat business, but there are some decent companies out there.
If you are weighing up the installation costs of double-glazing, then it's important to know that it is a long-term investment. By fitting your home with double-glazed windows, you are securing your home's value for the long-run. Modern windows ensure that your home is secure, warm and sound-proof, which will instantly boost its kerb appeal. It really helps to understand Double Glazing installation costs to really understand the value of what you're purchasing. One of the biggest barriers to installing double-glazed window is the anxiety around the cost.
Whether your existing front door has seen better days and you have no choice but to purchase a new front door, you want to improve the security of the entrance to your home, or even if you simply fancy a change, before deciding to invest in a front door, it can be a good idea to know roughly how much it is going to cost you. With several factors to take into consideration, including the size of the door, the colour and style you want, your chosen door material and the cost of installation, there is a lot to think about before replacing your front door in 2020.
Double Glazing works by containing air or argon gas between two panes of glass; this trapped air or gas acts as a thermal barrier reducing the amount of heat transferred from inside to out. Double glazed windows are a brilliant way of reducing the amount of heat loss in your home, just by replacing your old single glazed windows you could reduce the amount of heat lost, by up to 30%. Modern double glazed units generally use a gas, such as argon to reduce heat loss further, the argon gas inside the two panes of glass acts as a barrier which is used to reflect heat back into the property.
