What Are Double-Glazed Windows?
While single-glazed windows have just one sheet of glass separating you and the outside world, double-glazed windows have two. Between these glass panels is a sizeable gap, which is actually filled with an invisible gas like argon. This gas works hard to retain heat, so double-glazed windows do much more than just add another layer of glass to your property.
Where Can I See Double Glazing?
Modern bifold doors, uPVC windows, composite doors and aluminium windows include double glazing as standard. Rustic cottages and prestige homes often have traditional-style or heritage windows, such as sliding sash windows, that complement their old-world charm, but with innovative double-glazed units that keep them warm and secure. You won’t always know A-rated windows in the Reigate or Surrey areas when you see them.
Will It Add to My Home’s Value?
Today’s new property buyers are surprisingly savvy about energy efficiency. In turn, you’ll need to do everything you can to make your property a more attractive purchase. The more desirable it becomes and the more they'll save on heating, the more likely they are to offer your asking price.
Studies suggest that by double-glazing your home in the Reigate area, you increase its value by as much as 10 per cent. That’s a large amount for little effort, especially when choosing a team that delivers the best price for window installations, bifold doors and more. You could even add further value with other desirable features, such as a composite front door.
Should I Replace Before I Move Away?
This depends on the state of your current windows. If you already own uPVC windows and they feel secure, then by all means, get your FENSA certificate ready and move out. If they appear in bad condition or your home includes single-glazed windows, you should think about window replacements. Remember, buyers want to see each entranceway secured, so composite doors and elegant bifold doors also go a long way.
