Why can’t I stick with my single glazing?
Although single glazing can look appealing to the eye, it can be problematic. Firstly, single glazed windows are easily shattered whether that be accidental or intentional, and this can cost you both money and reduced safety.
Single glazing also offers close to no insulation and regulation of your home’s temperature, potentially leading to freezing cold winters and overly sweaty summers. Another drawback is that single glazing doesn’t insulate your house from sound like double glazed PVCu windows do, so noisy traffic, neighbours, or music can easily penetrate your home and cause unnecessary annoyance.

Double glazing for listed buildings
One thing to be mindful of if you are looking to replace your single glazing with double glazed windows, is whether your home is a listed building. In this case, you must take the appropriate steps to having your glazing upgraded and ensure that you have approved windows, so you don’t break the law or spoil the character of the building.
Although this can take more time, a good way to go can be PVCu sash windows, which can be bespoke designed to your taste and mimic a Victorian design, or wood effect PVCu windows which have a more traditional feel. These boast the benefits of modern double glazing whilst fitting the classic style of your listed building.
