How does double glazing work? You can liken it to when you wear layers of clothing. Air, unlike metal or other solids, is a poor conductor of heat. Therefore when you have air trapped between layers of clothing or layers of glass, the heat doesn’t escape as easily to the outside world. As a result of using highly officiant double glazing to keep our homes warmer, and keep any heating created inside, energy loss and energy bills have also been lowered.
Double glazing became popular in the 70’s when people began to think more about being energy conscious and reducing its use. Since that time, majority of homes today have double glazing for their homes and rental properties. For twenty one years, the company of C.B Windows have been supplying the people of Staines with double glazing for all of their rooms, conversions and extensions, including conservatories. The typical lifetime of double glazing is around 20 years depending on the quality of materials used. That is why C.B Windows of Staines, uses the highest quality installation methods and craftsmanship, to ensure the best service for you, your family and your home.
