Double Glazed Windows Benefits from Regency Windows

You're Hot and You're Cold...

Windows are a significant source of heat loss in any home. Energy-efficient windows use double-glazing and thermal tinting to dramatically reduce how much heat gets into your home in summer and how much gets out in winter.

The cheapest and easiest way to heat and cool your home is by using elements of passive solar design This means working with the sun and your natural environment to keep your home comfortable year-round.

Double-glazed windows reduce how much heat and sound can get into or out of your home. Running a heating system in a house with single-glazed windows means a large percentage of the heat generated is lost through the windows. On the other hand, summer air-conditioning is made less effective if hot summer sun is filling your home through thin windows.

Keep Your Cool

The main effect of double glazing is to reduce the U-factor, which measures of how much heat a window lets through. Using glass that has been treated will further reduce the amount of heat passing through your windows. Low-e, or low emission glass, is coated to reflect ultraviolet and infra-red light without compromising visibility.

Choosing high quality and energy efficient windows means your home will stay at a comfortable temperature while saving your electricity bills. There are other simple ways to cut energy costs, but if you're renovating or starting a new build, looking at your windows is a great place to start.
