The Cheapest Double Glazing - A Tip For Eliminating Window Heat Loss!

National Double Glazing Logo


After your window frames are weatherproofed, you can stop more heat loss through the window glass itself. The cheapest way to do this is using a clear plastic sheeting, taped to the window frame and then heated with a hair dryer. This will cause the plastic film to shrink; the tightening will remove wrinkles and creases. While this type of secondary glazing is low priced, it has to be replaced if you need to access the window; so these kinds of Double glazed windows are not really suitable if you'd like to open them before spring!

Secondary glazing panels are more expensive. These are built out of rigid clear plastic and they can either be attached to the wooden frame with magnetic tape, or with a plastic channel that can be left in place. In both of these cases, the Double glazing panels can normally be detached for cleaning and ventilation. When draft-proofing your home, make sure you have adequate ventilation in rooms containing a heater, fire, boiler or any other appliance that needs air for combustion. Also make sure to never block up air vents.

Every Double glazing company UK will tell you that a fter you've reduced the amount of energy needed to keep your home warm, you can turn down the thermostat. Even a 1 or 2 degree Centigrade reduction can significantly lower your heating bill. If you can set your heat to turn on a little later and switch off a bit earlier, a reputable Double glazing company will find that even a few minutes difference per day can add up to big savings over the course of a year. After you start thinking about saving energy, you'll be surprised how it soon becomes second nature. Before you know it, Double glazing London can show you how to have a more energy efficient home with big benefits for your finances and the planet.
