The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows
Double-glazed windows let less heat to escape, and trap it in winter. They also reduce the amount of UV light that passes through them, which prevents the destruction of furniture and paintings in your home.

Energy efficiency
Investing in energy efficient double glazing will improve the appearance and feel your home, and also reduce energy bills. It works by trapping in pockets of warm air while keeping cold drafts out. This will allow you to use less heat and cooling, which results in lower energy bills and a decrease in carbon footprint.
Eden Windows uses uPVC frames which are as robust and efficient as possible. They are made to provide sleek lines without sacrificing strength. This means that your new windows will be easy to maintain and will look amazing for many years to be.
Traditional windows allow a lot of heat loss, which leads to higher energy bills. Installing double glazing in Bromley can stop loss of heat, which makes your home more comfortable throughout the entire year.
Double-glazed windows come with two panes, with an air space between them. The air gap is filled with argon gas, which increases the insulation of the window. Therefore, thermal energy is unable to pass through the two glass layers and escape through your home just as easily as with single glazing.
The insulation of double-glazed windows also reduces condensation which can cause damage to carpets and furniture. Double glazing also functions as a sound barrier, allowing you to enjoy peace and quiet at home. It will also help you to keep cool during summer.
Reduced condensation
Many people are concerned that their double-glazed windows might suffer from condensation, however the reality is that they're more efficient in terms of energy efficiency and less susceptible to this problem. Condensation in the interior occurs when there is too little moisture in the area or if it's too cold. It can be avoided by enhancing ventilation, and eliminating water sources such as houseplants and pet hair. Condensation should also be wiped away quickly as the accumulation of condensation on surfaces can cause mold and rot.
Double-glazed windows might show condensation on the outside panes when they are heated up the next morning or turn on the heating. This is normal, and the condensation will dissipate as the glass warms. It is important to remember that condensation does not just gather on windows - it can also accumulate on frames, sills and the plaster exposes of uPVC, wood or aluminium frames.
If you notice condensation on the glass panes of your double-glazed windows the seal is likely to become damaged. It is possible to have this repaired, but sealing again can be expensive and does not fix the root of the problem. It is worthwhile to consider whether it is more cost-effective to replace the windows over time. This is a choice that should be made in consultation with window manufacturers, since it will depend upon the expected lifespan of the windows.
Improved sound insulation
Double glazing is an excellent way to minimize outside noise. If you live near a bustling road, railway line, or airport or if your neighbors are particularly noisy, double glazing is a good way to keep the noise from entering your home.
Double-glazed windows are made up of two panes which are separated by an inert gas or air. The glass is thicker and therefore doesn't vibrate so much when sound hits it. The argon gas that is between the panes has distinct properties than normal air, and so can dampen the vibrations of the sound waves before they reach you.
The result is a more tranquil environment at home, which is great for those who want the best sleep possible or enjoy a peaceful living space. You can also go a step further and choose an acoustic window that has been made specifically to reduce noise levels.
This type of double glazing is bonded inside which helps reduce noise and absorb it. This type of double glazing is more expensive than standard double-glazing, but it's a worthwhile investment to lower the sound levels in your home. It's important to remember that this isn't a soundproofing system and that you still have to block out external noise by taking other measures, such as sound insulation and a solid wall.
Increased safety
When installed double glazed windows will protect your home from intruders. In contrast to single pane windows double-glazed windows are more tightly and are harder to force open from the outside. In addition, they are also resistant to harsh weather conditions, such as snow, rain or even scorching heat. This makes them one of the best methods to ensure the safety of your family.
The air between the two panes serves as thermal insulation, thus reducing energy loss. This saves homeowners money on their energy costs because it keeps the warmth in during colder weather and stops the warm air from escaping. This also reduces the need for artificial heating, which can help save money on electricity bills.
We have a variety of glass options. From basic energy efficiency to the industry leading Comfort Glass. This glass comes with a Low-E coating and an innovative laminate that stops 56 percent more heat from leaving than traditional double glazing. The glass you select will depend on the location of your Bromley, Croydon or South London home. Our Comfort Plus glass is perfect for rooms that are prone to overheating as it stops the sun from shining through and prevents damage to furniture.
We also provide a range of secondary glazing options that can be fitted onto your frames to enhance their performance. There are tinted or toned glasses which can reduce the amount sunlight that enters them, and reflective coatings which can reflect more heat back into the room.
