Double Glazed Windows

From a business perspective, double glazing offers many benefits from cost saving to improved security measures and works towards maintaining a comfortable working environment. A spacer bar maintains the gap between the panes and is usually made from aluminium or plastic with low heat conductivity properties. Energy-saving glass helps reduce heat loss but it can be more expensive to install. Founded in 1884, George Barnsdale is a family run business manufacturing high-performance timber windows and doors in Donington, Lincolnshire and offering a nationwide project management and installation service. The extra layer of protection offered by secondary glazing ensures the heat remains firmly within your home. Our solutions reduce heat loss by up to 60% and improves your carbon footprint.
Your local authority has funding available to assist families on lower incomes with the cost of installing energy-efficient home improvements, including double glazing windows. According to Energy Savings Trust, installing A-rated replacement windows in an entirely single-glazed semi-detached property could save you £140 a year. If you replace single glazing windows with A++ rated double glazed options, you could save up to £235 annually.

The Bluemanor Windows glazing experts have put together this comparison guide to help you find the best glazing for your home. Many owners of older properties have double-glazed windows that are not as efficient as they could be, but would rather not send their existing windows into landfill and replace them with new ones. As well as improving thermal efficiency of single-glazed windows, our CosyGlazing system can also be installed to add an extra layer of thermal efficiency to double-glazed windows to make them effectively triple glazed. This can improve the warmth and comfort of older style double glazing, saving even more energy and CO2. Replacing double glazed windows is worth considering if they are old, damaged, or inefficient.

When the glazing has a single pane of glass it is called single glazing; double-glazed windows have two glass panes separated by an air gap of an inert gas like argon or krypton. The highest multiple of panes is usually the triple-glazed model with three panes each separated from the other with an inert gas layer. The more panes there are, the more efficient the performance is with respect to energy efficiency, noise reduction, and security. The manufacturing process for double glazed windows is quite straightforward; each unit is created by cutting two panes of glass according to set measurements.
Historically, the installation of glazing was generally undertaken by a specialist glazier, but today it is possible to purchase an entire window which can be fitted by a general contractor. In older buildings, re-glazing can be done by specialist firms that restore rather than replace windows. Enter the sizes you need for your secondary glazing pane above then select the number of rolls of extreme magnetic tape you require. The magnetic tape comes in a pack containing 10m of white steel tape to attach to your window frame and 10m of magnet tape (with a white backing) to attach to your acrylic panel.

Our secondary glazing is manufactured using state-of-the-art machinery to lock-in a tightly sealed frame which reduces noise levels by up to a whopping 80%. Double glazing reduces heat loss through the window by creating a barrier that slows down the transfer of heat. Heat can transfer through a window in several ways, including conduction, convection, and radiation.
We are able to combine and/or couple together our hinged & lift out secondary glazing units. These units are perfect for treating more complicated window styles and bay windows. With traditional single-glazed timber windows, Michael wanted a solution that didn't cost a fortune, and one that didn't require a big job. Retro Panes reduce heat loss through your windows all year round and add a layer of sound insulation to your home. A 3 bedroom gas heated house, using an average of kwh of energy per year, saving around 10% of their energy costs through the insulative powers of double glazing alone, stands to save around £70 a year.
