Has it occurred to you that maybe those windows have something to do why your home still feels cold inside despite that the heater is on? It is not so much about the cold weather outside but rather that you probably have a single-paned window. Had you utilized double glazing windows, heat would have been trapped inside.
A glass pane has no insulating capacity. Both cold and hot temperatures escape through it. When the heater is on, it is supposed to keep the warmth throughout the house. It does not feel that way because heat is lost 60 percent of the time.
The hot air is released outside through the window even if you have shut it down. Likewise, the humidity that sticks outside your window has a cooling effect inside the house. That is precisely why it doesn’t feel like the heater is working.
When a window is double glazed, there is air between two glass panes. This air is some millimetres thick that serves as the insulator between two temperatures. The space in between these sheets of glass containing the air is sealed off completely to prevent moisture from forming within. It insulates the surrounding by keeping the cold air outside and the warm air inside.
With double glazing, your home is not only conducive to stay during the cold season but becomes a very good source of savings as well. Using this window, energy is conserved. It consequently reduces your electric bill consumption. Your heater will not get so worked up anymore in keeping the house warm because heat loss is minimized.
The extra sheet of glass that is absent from the standard window provides security in addition to your burglar alarm system. It is sturdy that it will be a bit of hard work for burglars and trespassers to make forced entry.
You see, double glazing your windows makes your house better than the others in a lot of ways. By mere installation of this type of window, you considerably increase the market value of your home.
