Just like the famous song from My Fair Lady “All I want is a room somewhere, Far away from the cold night air.”; we all want a warm cosy home in cold winters. Unfortunately, that desire is not easy on our pockets specially in the winters. If you stay in the city, you have the added issue of outside noise disturbing the peace of your home. All this is because the windows of your house might be ineffective in keeping out droughts, cold and noise. Do not despair. The solution is quite simple and achievable once you have identified the cause of the problem.
Secondary glazing windows effectively help in insulating and soundproofing your house, office or listed building. It is done by adding a slim secondary window inside an existing window. The installers use an excellent sealing mechanism that keeps out the cold, retains the heat inside, providing thermal insulation. The gap between the two windows is either filled with an inert gas, such as argon, or a vacuum is created. This layer of gas or vacuum acts as a thermal barrier by not allowing the transfer of heat. So, your house remains warm without you need to turn the heat up, thus reducing your heating costs. In summers, this same system helps in reducing air conditioning costs. By stopping cool air from escaping out through windows and not allowing heat transfer, the temperature inside remains low, thus requiring less energy to cool the building. Secondary double glazing can also add acoustic insulation to your house. The two windows are also independent barriers to noise and effectively reduce noise pollution. The more you increase the gap between them, the better soundproofing you get.
By getting this system installed in your house or office, you can reap several benefits. There can be 70% of improvement in the thermal insulation of a window. Condensation can be reduced by up to 95%. It also helps in reduction of noise pollution due to road traffic by up to 75%.
