Can Sash Windows be Double Glazed?

With rising energy costs and concerns about sustainability, you may be wondering if Sash Windows can be double glazed, and if so – is that the right decision for you and your home?

What is double glazing?

Double glazing involves two panes of glass with a space in between, usually filled with air or gas. This increases the thickness of the window and improves thermal and sound insulation.

What are the benefits of double glazing your sash windows?

More energy efficient:
Double glazing your Sash Windows can improve heat loss by 30% compared to single glazed windows. This keeps your home warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer and reduces the overall cost of your energy bills! 

Noise reduction:
The thickness of double glazing means sound has to pass through not just one, but two layers of glass. This significantly reduces outside noise, such as road traffic and voices, making your night’s sleep more relaxed. 

Increase value:
You might not be looking to sell your home anytime soon, but upgrading your Sash Windows to double glazed will increase the value of your property. It will also be a great selling point for those wanting a classic home with a modern twist. 

Is double glazing my sash windows worth it?
If you’re looking to invest in your property to make it more energy efficient, modern and comfortable then it is definitely a good return on investment. However, ensuring you work with experienced craftsmen who understand your requirements is essential.
