Most homeowners are very familiar with single-paned glass because they likely have it installed in their home. While these windows are the most economical for many, they may not keep out the noise or the weather, such as the heat of the day or the coolness of winter. Depending on your needs and budget options, you may want to consider double-glazed windows to enhance your home and space.
Energy Loss
If you want to double your satisfaction with your home, you need to prevent energy from escaping or using too much electricity. Most single-paned windows do just that. The heat and cold air you create in your home to keep you comfortable escapes through tiny cracks that you may not see and through the window itself. Likewise, outside air can creep into the home, which requires your HVAC system to work harder, which uses more energy and costs you more money.
By using two pieces of glass with a vacuum or gas in between, you have double-glazed windows which will prevent these issues from happening.

Most people dislike the thought of hiring a professional and think they can do it themselves. While there are kits available, it is usually best to hire the professionals at Weatherall Windows.
