The benefits of triple glazing have been steadily acknowledged in the UK over the past few years. Those that have had triple glazing fitted are now experiencing its true advantages, but there are still many unsure about the true plusses of installing triple glazing in your own home. We’ve put together a few of the key benefits so that this article helps you decide whether triple glazing is right for you and your home.
Comfort
Triple glazing can be the final touch in creating a modern home of absolute comfort. Windows can often be vulnerable to draughts or cold patches where the air inside the window is not insulated and protected from the outside elements. You may feel these cold patches as you approach a window within your house, most noticeably at night when the temperature outside has dropped. Triple glazing eliminates these cold patches, keeping your home at a constant, comfy temperature.
Noise Reduction
Whether it’s the 8.35 flight from Heathrow to Chicago or next-door’s vocal Chihuahua, triple glazing is supremely effective at cancelling out noises and improving the quality of your home’s acoustics. Perfect for town houses exposed to the soundtrack of a main road, the thickness of triple glazing keeps the outside very much outside. Not only is your home given some peace and quiet, but also a boost in value as buyers continue to carry keen ears when looking for a new property.
Energy Efficient
With so much debate in the media about what we should be doing to minimalise our energy consumption, the option of triple glazing is an incredibly effective option in shrinking your own carbon footprint. Triple glazing provides up to 40% greater thermal efficiency than ‘A’ rated double-glazing. The triple layering within the glass also traps warm air inside, keeping your home warmer for longer, so you can play your part in lowering emissions by keeping the boiler from bubbling.
Cost Effective
Finally, the cost benefits to installing triple glazing in the long term are exponential. Triple glazing means a greater energy performance rating for your home, boosting its value as more and more homeowners look for ways to lower costs. Furthermore, as you switch off the heating because triple glazing is regulating a flow of warm air around your home, you’ll notice your energy bill fall; energy efficient windows could see you save as much as £450 a year.
