Reduced condensation

Many people worry that their double-glazed windows will suffer from condensation, but the truth is that they're more energy efficient and less prone to this issue. Internal condensation occurs when there's too much humidity in the room or if it's too cold. It can be prevented by boosting ventilation and eliminating the sources of moisture like houseplants and hair from pets. Condensation should be removed as soon as possible since it can lead to mold and rot when left on surfaces.

Double-glazed windows may show condensation on the outside panes when they warm up the next morning, or turn on the heating. This is normal and the condensation will dissipate as the glass warms.

Improved sound insulation

Double glazing can be a wonderful way to minimize outside noise. If you live near a busy highway, airport or railway station or in the event that your neighbors are noisy, double glazing is a great way to block out the noise.

This is because double glazed windows have two panes glass separated by a space filled with inert gas or air. The glass is thicker and doesn't vibrate as much when sound hits it. The argon gas in between the panes also has different properties than regular air, and therefore can dampen vibrations of the sound waves before they hit you.

This will help create a quieter living space, ideal for a restful night's sleep or for a relaxing atmosphere. You can go one step further and select acoustic glass that is designed specifically to reduce noise levels.
