Not only can double glazing increase your home’s value, itcan also provide you with endless bonuses. If you need convincing about replacing your windows and choosing to upgrade to double glazing, read on to see how your home could benefit…
Enhanced aesthetics
Replacing your windows will mean that your frames are fresh and modernised. When you’re selling your home, you want it to look its very best and new windows will be a step in the right direction. With glossy, fresh frames that improve your home, your potential buyers are more likely to be enticed to make an offer!
Decreased condensation
Brand-new windows are bound to be more effective. Due to this, condensation won’t be a problem for your home. If your existing windows are older, they may struggle with condensation. This can escalate into more problems, and damp is one of the things that prospective buyers look for – it can definitely put someone off your property!
Heat retention
Having double-glazed windows installed in your home will make a difference to your property’s thermal efficiency. Double glazing adds insulation,as there are two panes of glass per window unit. It traps the warm air inside your home meaning that it will stay warmer for longer, which is a brilliant selling point… This will do wonders for your energy efficiency, and you could even save money on your energy bills.
Safety elements
As opposed to single-glazed windows, double glazing is more durable and secure. With two panes of sturdy glass, your windows are much less likely to crack. Upgrading your windows is also a good idea in older homes. This will mean that you can update your locks and handles at the same time, giving you peace of mind that no one can enter your property.
Research has shown that double glazing installation can increase your home’s value by up to 10%! This is an incredible increase, and it means that you’ll earn back your investment into double-glazed windows during the sale of your property.
It goes without saying that if you don’t actually need your windows replaced, this could be a wasted investment. So, here are the signs to look for that indicate whether you need new double glazing:
- Draughts coming from your windows.
- Leaking window frames.
- Discolouration or cracking of your existing window frames.
- Ineffective noise cancellation from your windows.
- Difficulty opening and closing windows.
