Failed double glazed windows mean greater
heat loss and higher home energy bills. As more of your glazing units fail, the insulation properties will decline
and your heating bills will go up.
Double glazed units are made of
two sheets of glass with a gap of 12mm - 16mm or 20mm between them. This creates an insulating barrier and contains
argon gas. The most energy efficient type of glass is 'Low-E' glass which often has an invisible metal oxide
coating on the internal pane. This cuts out heat loss through the window but lets in heat and light from the outside.
