It is no surprise that most of your home’s heat is lost through your windows. But did you know you can minimise heat loss by adding double glazing windows to your home? Installing double glazing keeps your home warmer, quieter, reduces your energy bills and offers reduced condensation for your windows.
Double-glazing creates an insulating barrier by sandwiching two sheets of glass together leaving a gap between the two sheets. It is available in a variety of frame materials and styles. Low emissivity glass, which has a metal oxide coating that lets in light and heat while reducing the amount of heat that may escape, is the most energy-efficient glass for double glazing. The frame can be made of either uPVC, wood, aluminium, or composite. Wooden frames have a lesser environmental impact but require maintenance. Whereas uPVC frames can last for long periods of time.
If you are looking for an eco-friendlier option, aluminium or steel frames can be easily recycled as well as being long-lasting and slim. If you are stuck choosing between aluminium or steel frames then composite frames, which contain an inner timber structure that is covered in aluminium or plastic, would be the perfect choice for your home. If you replace your windows with more energy-efficient double or triple glazing, keep in mind that your replacement frames will be more airtight than your original frames, which means condensation may form due to the reduced ventilation. Instead, choose replacement windows with trickle vents built into the frame to allow a small amount of controlled ventilation.
Many listed buildings and conservation areas can have restrictions on what windows and glazing options are permitted on the property. Before you decide, it is best to find out what choices are available to you by contacting your local council. Modern double glazing must often be made to seem like your building's original windows in order to preserve or enhance the character of the area. According to their grading, listed buildings have very strict restrictions on what can be changed.
A lot of older properties have old sash windows which are usually protected both in its appearance and the materials used. However, new double-glazed windows with timber frames in the same sash style can be found, which many local authorities approve of. Prices are high, but this may be your only choice for getting approval. Secondary glazing or heavy curtains are the alternative options if double glazing is not possible.
In an average three-bedroom home, a window replacement can cost around £7500, but this can vary due to varying factors including the size and number of windows, the type of glazing you prefer, the glass and materials that are used on the window and frames.

In England and Wales, choosing an installer who is registered with one of the official Competent Person schemes will ensure that your windows are installed to the government's standards. If you hire an installer who isn't a member of one of these programmes, you'll need to apply for building control approval before the window can be installed.
