Energy Efficient Double Glazed Replacement Windows

Double-glazed replacement windows are the ideal method to increase your home's energy efficiency. They can reduce the amount of heat that escapes your home and help to keep your home cooler during summer and warmer during winter.

They also help reduce noise from outside, so they are a great choice for homes located near airports or busy roads. UPVC is the most well-known but there are other alternatives.

Energy efficiency

Window replacements are a common practice for homeowners to get better energy efficiency and insulation. Single-glazed windows often cause leaks and drafts in windy conditions, as well as during the winter months. Double glazed replacement windows eliminate these issues, and offer optimal performance throughout the year.

This is accomplished by leaving the space between two panes as an empty space, or by filling it with a gas that is dense, such as argon to form an airtight seal. This will reduce heat loss because it keeps the warm air in and cold air out. You won't have to turn on the thermostat as often in winter.

This layer of insulation can also help to block the heat from the sun from entering your home, meaning you can enjoy cooler temperatures without having to turn on your air conditioning system too much in summer. Double glazing can help you reduce your energy bills in Australia.

Double-glazed replacement windows also reduce the noise that comes from outside. This includes cars driving through, dogs barking or people walking by your window. This can help you get a good night's sleep, so you can be more productive during the daytime.

Because windows are better in insulation, they are less prone to suffer from condensation - which is a common issue in Sydney homes due to the high humidity levels. Condensation can be very damaging to your windows, causing water droplets to accumulate between the glass and the frame. But double-glazed windows stop this from happening by ensuring that the temperature inside the interior window is close to the temperature of the air in your home which decreases the humidity and thus condensation.

Double glazed windows that have been FENSA approved are also much more durable than their single-glazed counterparts. With an additional pane of glass, double-glazed windows are more difficult to break into than their old single-pane counterparts. They also can be equipped with sophisticated locking mechanisms for added security. This will stop burglars from trying to break into your home and create more secure for your family.

Low E glass windows replacement

One of the most effective ways to increase energy efficiency is by installing double glazed replacement windows with low E glass. The "e" in low E refers to emissivity which is the measure of how much heat passes through your windows. The lower the emissivity, better the insulation. This is because it limits the transfer of infrared and ultraviolet rays from the outside to the inside. These rays cause the majority of your home's heat loss by blocking their transmission, you'll be able to reduce your heating and cooling bills.

The insulating properties of low E glass are created by a microscopic, invisible layer of silver, zinc or indium tin oxide that's added to the window's surface pane. The coating is transparent, so it doesn't alter the amount of sunlight that enters your windows. However, the coating is reflective, which means it causes infrared and ultraviolet rays to bounce back where they came from rather than traverse your window. This helps to keep your home at a constant temperature, while also providing you with access to natural, bright light.

Contrary to standard thermal films that are usually placed on the outside of your window or drapes, low E coatings won't impede the view and let you enjoy your view without sacrificing insulation. The coating is applied to the inside surface of your window's glass which makes it an integral part of the insulated glass unit (IGU). Low E glass can achieve an U-value of 0.9 when combined with warm edge spacer bars and the argon fill cavities.

The reduction in UV rays can also aid in reducing the fading of carpets, furniture and curtains. This can save you money on replacing these items, as well as the hassle of dealing with fade and discoloration.

Addition of low E glass in your double-glazed windows can help reduce the amount of sunlight and heat entering your home. This glass requires a higher initial investment compared to double glazed windows. However, you'll save money on energy bills as well as wear and tear on your heating and cooling system.

Tilt-and-turn windows

They are therefore ideal for homes that require healthy airflow as well as unobstructed view. You can find them in a wide variety of materials and styles.

Tilt-and-turn windows are also more secure as compared to standard double-glazed windows. They feature distinctive design, featuring five locking pins made of steel that slide into the frames rails when the handle is in the tilt position. This prevents leaks and provides outstanding forced entry resistance and outperforms any other casement windows in the market. This is particularly crucial for high-rise buildings, where security is a top priority.

The glass may crack if hit but will not shatter completely, which provides greater security in the case of an emergency.

There are numerous advantages to choosing tilt and turn windows over casement windows, including healthy ventilation, unobstructed views and energy savings. They also have a classic aesthetic that can be adapted to every style of building, from modern to traditional. These windows are more expensive than casement windows, so be prepared to pay the extra cost.
