How new sash windows are more energy efficient
Whether you already have sash windows in your property that need updating, or you are thinking of installing new sash windows to replace a different style entirely, they are a great way to improve the energy efficiency of any property.
Below we explain their benefits, why installing triple glazing with Argon gas works so well and how our bespoke service can help your property.
Benefits of New Sash windows
Installing new sash windows brings a wide range of benefits to your home, such as:
- Reduced energy use
Installing new double or triple glazed sash windows into a property will lead to lower energy bills. Because it provides a higher level of insulation, it means you do not have to rely on your central heating as much to keep you warm. You will also have a positive impact on the environment, as by using less energy, it also reduces the amount of carbon produced by your provider.
- Less condensation
Older properties tend to feature single glazed sash windows and usually suffer from condensation more than modern builds. This often leads to mould and rot, as well as affecting the health of the people living or working there. New sash windows will help to reduce condensation as each pane of glass is closer to the room temperature, meaning there is far less of a clash between warmth and cold.
- Lower noise
Double or triple glazing will significantly lower the amount of noise pollution coming from outside. This leads to a better quality of life for people inside the property and allows you to concentrate on what needs to be done without interference.
- Better security
By installing double or triple glazed new sash windows you also improve the security of your home. This type of glazing is harder to break than single glazing and is more likely to deter potential intruders from trying to break in – especially if laminted glass is installed.
- Enhances resale value
A great way to maintain and increase the value of your property is to install new sash windows. Not only will it mean you have better insulation, but these original-style features add character to the building which improves the overall value. Not only that, but it will require less maintenance by the new owner once they move in.
Triple glazed glass with Argon gas is more energy efficient
One of the best ways to improve energy efficiency in any building is to install tripe glazing. Of course, this may not be suitable for every sash window or property, but this can be judged on a case-by-case basis by the installer.
The reason why triple glazing is so effective is because it adds an additional layer of glass compared to double glazing. This means the temperature of the glass will remain closer to that of the temperature of the room, which significantly lowers the chances of the build-up of condensation and the development of mould and rot.
Any integral part of installing triple (or double) glazed glass involves the use of Argon gas. This is placed between each pane of glass to stop the flow of air from one side to another. Because Argon gas is denser than air, this means the insulation levels within the room will be much higher.
