Double Glazed Sash Windows

After years of wear and tear, older and outdated sash windows can become thermally inefficient meaning. This means a homeowner is more likely to experience draughts and leaks. This is because older designs generally feature slim panes of glass, which after long exposure to adverse weather conditions can become weak. This means their performance diminishes over time and with wear.

Technology is always evolving and improving, which is why our modern double glazed sash designs make the most of the advancements in the industry. Choose to upgrade your windows to transform the way your home performs all year round.

What Is Double Glazing?

Double glazing refers to a window that features two panes of glass. The main component of our modern sash window is the double glazed sealed unit, also known as an insulated glass unit (IGU) which sits within the framework.

The IGU is formed by two sheets of glass separated by a spacer bar to create an air gap which is filled with an insulating gas. They key benefit of double glazing is the enhanced level of thermal efficiency it offers a home. Double glazed windows will help a property retain heat, keeping the cold outside where it belongs.

Double glazing is so beneficial in enhancing the energy efficiency of a home, building regulations were set to dictate that replacement windows must be at least C rated unless it’s being installed in a conservation area or a listed building.
