Double Glazed Windows – What Are the Benefits? 

09/02/2024

When building or designing a home, every detail counts, from colour selection and storage to the choice of windows. At Regional Home Builders, we recognise the significance of such decisions and highlight the advantages of double-glazed windows in our new homes. 

Double glazing refers to the installation of two glass panes in a frame, with a layer of air or gas in between. This concept may seem basic, but it provides numerous advantages within your home, and its importance cannot be overstated. 

Temperature Retainment  

Double glazed windows offer a significant advantage in that they can keep your home warm during colder months and repel heat during warmer months. The insulation barrier helps reduce the amount of heat that can transfer in and out of your home, thus maintaining a comfortable temperature all year round.  

This is especially beneficial for homeowners living in regional Victoria, where temperatures can vary dramatically. As a result, you will need to rely less on heating and cooling, lowering energy bills as well as reducing your carbon footprint. 

In homes with inadequate insulation, condensation can become a problem, resulting in the frustrating growth of mould and mildew. This can cause damage to your property over time, as well as lead to health issues. Because double glazed windows help maintain a consistent internal temperature, they reduce the risk of condensation, protecting your family and home. 

Noise Reduction 

Living in a regional area can be a serene escape from the noise of urban environments, but external noise can still be a disruption. Double glazed windows offer excellent noise reduction due to the vacuum or gas-filled space between the panes, which acts as a buffer against sound. Whether it’s the hustle and bustle of a nearby street or the sounds of nature, double glazing helps keep your home peaceful. 

Increased Security 

Double glazed windows are more difficult to break than single glazed windows. This is because they have two layers of glass and high-quality frames, which add to their strength. This added strength increases the security of your home, giving you peace of mind that your family and possessions are safe.
