Advantages of Double Glazed Windows
We believe that windows should do more than simply provide nice views from outside. It is likely that choosing double glazed windows could be challenging, because of the high costs and it is no surprise that so many people are getting confused with the exact same question: Why double glazed windows? Be assured, in this post we will point out the top five advantages of double glazed windows and also reasons why we think that they are so beneficial to your property.
Greater Security
It is considered to be a safer option to install double glazed windows because they are harder to smash in comparison to the standard window. In addition, double glazed windows are not only very difficult to break, they are sealed significantly tighter and it makes them harder to force open.
Power Saving
Because of heat retention, much less power is required to warm up or cool-down your house, which results in reduced energy bills. It was determined that after people investing in double glazed windows, an average homeowner can save up to $300 every year, on their electricity bills. When you do some simple calculations and multiply the yearly savings by the period of time the window lasts, the homeowner could possibly have saved $6,000 on electricity bills.
Heat Retention
Compared with the standard window, double glazed windows will not let the heat dissipate as quickly. The air-tight structure of double glazed windows produces thermal insulation. This minimizes the movement of arriving and outgoing heat and at the same time, provides a much more comfortable domestic temperature.
Aesthetics
If you are a person that always takes great pride in your house, double glazed windows are the best choice for you. In general, the overall look is much nicer in comparison to the standard windows. This will also boost visual value of your property, and as a result will most likely improve the overall resale price.
Noise Insulation
Whether it's your child playing musical instruments or you have been given the misfortune of living close to the highway, double glazed windows are the solution. Generally, models installed in 2003 or later come with an added layer of insulation that will keep noise outside by establishing a barrier between your property and the outdoor environment which is wonderful for homeowners who live near the freeway.
Obscure Glass for Privacy
Clear glass is great for opening up your space and for having unobstructed views. But what about privacy?
Art Windows can supply a number of different options for obscure glass. White Translucent is the most popular choice for obscure glass because it offers the most amount of privacy. If you want to let more light in though, then perhaps a patterned glass may be a good solution for you. These types of patterned glass help to throw light and create a nice design feature too.
Safety Glass
To comply with Australian Safety Standards for Human Impact, safety glass is used in all doors, windows within 500mm of the floor and in all wet areas. If heat toughened safety glass was to break, then it would shatter into small oval shaped pebbles, to avoid injury.
Security
For added safety and security, you could upgrade your standard glass to laminated glass. 6.38mm Clear laminated glass is essentially two pieces of 3mm glass laminated together. If this glass was to break, the lamination would hold all of the glass pieces together, so not only will it prevent injury, but it is very difficult for intruders to get through. The potential intruder would need to take a lot of time to peel back the lamination in order to gain access.
Noise Reduction
To reduce noise pollution coming through the glass, why not upgrade to 6.5mm laminated noise reduction glass? This extra layer of lamination can help reduce noise by more than 50%.
