Have you ever wondered what happens to all the CO2 we release from our homes every day? Cars and other fuel-powered machines are not the only source of climate changes and the main reason of pollution. Believe it or not, our homes are responsible for releasing a significant amount of CO2 every day. There is a way to stop most of it, and that is by simply installing double glazed windows. There are many wonderful perks which come with these windows, and most of them are listed below.
Improved Heating
Did you know that regular windows get cold during winter time and by doing so they release heat? Windows are responsible for releasing up to 60% of the heat generated inside the house, and that can be a dramatic change during the cold winter days. This makes you spend more energy on heating, and with more energy you spend more money on the bills.
By simply installing double glazed windows, your heat will stay trapped inside the house and you will save up to 12 percent on bills every month while heating is on, and even more if you combine this retrofit with other innovations in sustainable architecture. The secret is in two panels of glass which have air trapped between them. The air’s role in the glass is to make sure nothing comes in and that nothing goes out. It is as simple as it sounds, yet very effective.
Reduced Air Condensation
Remember that moisture that used to form on your windows during cold days? The same moisture which would freeze and then make the windows and your room even colder? Well that is history, long forgotten, simply because double glazed windows came to be. These double panels not only prevent the windows from creating moist, but they also prevent condensation and save all the heat inside the room, preventing your from using additional sources of heating or wasting more energy than is necessary.
Considerable Decrease in Carbon Emission
The most important thing about double glazed windows is their ability to keep things inside the house. This does not only refer to heat, but also refers to stopping the CO2 from leaving your house. If you install a pair of quality double glazed windows, not only will you help the community by reducing the energy loss, but you will also stop the noise pollution for these windows also prevent noise from coming in the house and getting out of the house. The barrier between the two panels is responsible for that, so make sure you put it to a good use.
Your Furniture Will Last Longer
There are several things which you can do to prevent your furnishing from being destroyed by the sun. Usually, sun is responsible for running your carpets and furniture, but in some cases it can be a pet. Well, if you don’t have a pet, then you have to deal with the sun, and the way to do it is to install double glazed windows which will stop the sun rats from penetrating with their full force. This will weaken the impact of the sun on your furnishing and will make your furniture and carpets last longer. Now you have one more thing to get rid of in order to save your furniture – the chemicals you are using to repaint damaged furniture. Once you get rid of them and install new windows, your furnishing will be as brand as new.
Nothing can go wrong with double glazed windows, and if you already don’t have them, you should get them installed right away for no matter what part of the year it is, you can start saving up on energy straight away. And besides, winter is coming, so you better be prepared for it.
