The Benefits of Double Glazed Windows
Double-glazed windows allow less heat to escape, trapping it during winter. They also decrease the amount of UV light that passes through them, which prevents damage to paintings and furniture in your home.

Energy efficiency
The investment in energy efficient double glazing can boost the look and feel of your home and reduce your energy costs. It works by trapping in pockets of warm air and keeping cold drafts out. This will allow you to use less heat, resulting in lower energy bills and a decrease in carbon footprint.
Eden Windows uses uPVC frames which are as robust and efficient as they are. They have been designed to give sleek and elegant design without compromising on strength. This means that your new windows will be simple to maintain and look beautiful for a long time to come.
Traditional windows are a major cause of energy bills. However, installing double-glazed windows in your Bromley home will stop this loss of heat and ensure your home is comfortable all year.
Double-glazed windows feature two panes and an air space between them. The air gap between the two glass panes is filled with argon which improves the insulation. The two layers of glass block the heat from leaving your home.
Double-glazed windows are also well-insulated and reduce condensation that can cause damage to carpets and furniture. Moreover, the double glazing acts as a sound-proofing device which allows you to enjoy peace and quiet at your home. This will also prevent you from overheating in summer.
Reduced condensation
Many people are concerned that double-glazed windows suffer from condensation, but the truth is that they're more energy efficient and less prone to this problem. Internal condensation is only a problem if there is excessive humidity in the air or a low temperatures in the room, and is best handled by enhancing ventilation and eliminating moisture sources like pets and house plants shed. Condensation must also be cleaned up quickly as the accumulation of condensation on surfaces can result in mould and rot.
Double-glazed windows can display condensation on the outside panes as they warm up next morning or switch on the heating. This is normal and the condensation will disappear as the glass warms. It's important to know that condensation can form not only on windows but as well on frames, sills, and plaster reveal on uPVC or wood frames.
If you notice condensation on the glass panes of your double-glazed window, the seal is likely to be deteriorating. It is possible to have this repaired, but resealing can be expensive and doesn't address the root cause of the issue. It is therefore worth considering whether replacing windows is a better and economical option in the longer in the long run. However this is a decision that needs to be taken in concert with the window makers because it will be contingent on their anticipated life-cycle.
Sound insulation improved
One of the great things about double glazing is that it's a fantastic way to reduce noise from outside your home. If you live near a busy road, railway line or airport, or if your neighbours are noisy, double glazing is a simple way to keep the noise from entering your home.
This is because double glazed windows are made up of two panes of glass which are separated by a space filled with inert gas or air. The glass is stronger and thus doesn't sway as much when sound hits it. The argon gas inside the panes has distinct properties from regular air, and therefore can dampen vibrations of sound waves before they reach you.
This will create a peaceful living space, ideal for a restful night's sleep or a tranquil atmosphere. You can go one step further and select the acoustic glass which is designed specifically to reduce noise levels.
This type of double-glazing features an internal layer bonded to help reduce noise and absorb it. This kind of double glazing is more expensive than standard double-glazing, however it's worth the cost to reduce noise levels at home. This is not a soundproof solution. You'll need to employ other measures to block out noise from outside like sound insulation or a solid wall.
Safety is increased
A double-glazed window will ensure your home is secure from burglars. As opposed to single pane windows double-glazed windows are tighter and harder to open from the outside. In addition, they are also resistant to extreme weather conditions like snow, rain or the scorching heat. They are the best option to ensure the safety of your family.
The space between the two glass panes creates an air layer, which acts as an insulation to reduce energy loss. This can help homeowners save money by preventing warm air from escaping in colder weather. This can reduce the need for artificial heat which could reduce the cost of electricity.
We offer a variety of options for glazing, from basic energy efficiency to industry-leading Comfort Glass, which features an innovative laminate layer and a Low-E coating to stop 56% more heat escaping your home than standard double glazing. The glass you select will depend on the location of your Bromley, Croydon or South London home. For instance our Comfort Plus glass option is ideal for rooms prone to overheating since it stops the sun from shining into the room and causing destruction to furniture.
We also provide a range of secondary glazing options that can be added to your frames to enhance their performance. There are tinted or toned glasses that can reduce the amount sunlight that passes through them, and reflective coatings which can reflect more heat back into the room.
