Double glazing combats one major problem in the house and that is heat loss. Heat is lost through many areas of the house including the windows and doors. Around 20% of the heat lost in the home is through the roof with a further 25% lost through the doors and windows.

Double glazing is not just about keeping the heat in your home and reducing your monthly spend. It also has other benefits; it helps reduce condensation in a home which can be a major problem at this time of year and can cause havoc to your wallpaper and paint. If you live in a busy neighbourhood or by a main road then you will also benefit from double glazing as it is great creating a barrier between the noise outside and your rooms inside.
By installing double glazing you are also doing your bit for the environment as it is estimated that around 750kg of CO2 is saved each year by those who have had it installed. So as well as saving some money you are also saving the environment. It is true that we can not all do it alone which is why we need everyone to join in and think about what they do and the impact it has on the environment. If all homes in the UK had double glazing then we would save an impressive 770,000 homes worth of CO2 emissions.
Make sure you have all double glazing windows fixed by a professional as a poorly fitted window will not be beneficial to you at all. Double glazing is environmentally friendly and can save you around 150 a year so it is definitely worth looking into to as it also adds value to your home.
