 How can double glazing benefit homeowners in Buckinghamshire?

Double glazed windows have fast become the norm for homeowners in our county of Buckinghamshire, with around 82% of properties in the area said to have the solution installed. There are several reasons for this, including better energy efficiency, security, and improved sound insulation.

At Premier Windows, we’ve been putting an end to drafty living rooms, costly heating bills, and excessive condensation for over 26 years thanks to our industry-leading double glazing.

Reflecting on our experiences and past installations, we’ve put together this guide to showcase eight key benefits of double glazing, explaining how it can transform your living space.

1. Slash Your Energy Bills

One of the most important benefits of double glazing is its impact on your heating costs. Thanks to advanced layers of glass, airtight seals, and inert gas fillings like argon or krypton, modern double glazed windows reduce the amount of heat escaping from your home.

By slowing the movement of hot air through your windows, you’ll use less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature, and it shows on your bills. In fact, upgrading old windows can help homeowners cut energy costs by hundreds of pounds each year.

2. Improve Thermal Efficiency and Comfort

New double glazing acts as a powerful insulator, keeping your home cosy in winter and cooler during the summer months.

Premier Windows’ Comfort Plus units are specially designed for sunny, south or west-facing rooms, reflecting up to 50% of external heat in summer while retaining 63% more warmth in winter compared to single glazing.

3. Enjoy Outstanding Noise Reduction

If you live near a busy road, flight path, or town centre, upgrading to modern double glazing is a game changer.

Thanks to thicker window panes, inert gas fillings, and clever design, Comfort Plus glazing cuts noise levels by up to 20% compared to traditional units.

The result? A quieter, more peaceful home where you can truly relax.

4. Boost Security and Peace of Mind

Your windows are a crucial line of defence against burglars. Our modern double glazing is tougher to break through than older units, offering a higher level of security and greater peace of mind.

Our glazing is designed with safety in mind, and all of our installations meet and exceed the latest building regulations for security and performance.

5. Minimise Condensation and Protect Your Health

With an effective airtight seal and two panes of glass, double glazing greatly reduces the build-up of moisture on your windows.

Less condensation means a lower risk of mould and related health problems, creating a drier, healthier home environment.

6. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

With the cost of heating soaring, the environmental impact of wasted energy is bigger than ever.

By improving the energy efficiency of your home and reducing the need for constant heating, double glazing is a great way to lower your carbon footprint and contribute towards a greener future for Buckinghamshire.

7. Increase the Value of Your Home

Energy-efficient features are highly attractive to potential buyers. New uPVC windows or aluminium frames with modern double glazing can significantly boost your property’s kerb appeal and overall value — a fantastic investment whether you plan to sell soon or stay for the long haul.

8. Upgrade the Style of Your Property

New windows don’t just improve performance — they completely refresh the look of your home!

At Premier Windows, we offer a wide range of stylish options to suit every type of property, including:

• Casement windows
• Tilt and turn windows
• Flush sash windows
• Vertical sliding sash windows
• Residence 9 traditional windows

Whether you live in a modern new build or a charming period cottage, we have designs and materials to complement your style.

FAQs about Double Glazing

What is the difference between double glazing and secondary glazing?

Double glazing uses two panes of glass separated by a gap filled with inert gas, sealed as one unit. Secondary glazing involves fitting a second pane inside your existing window frame. Double glazing offers better thermal efficiency and sound insulation.

Does double glazing really make a difference to energy bills?

Absolutely. Modern double glazing can reduce heat loss by up to 60% compared to single glazing, significantly cutting your energy bills — especially during the winter months.

How long does double glazing last?

When properly installed, quality double glazing like ours can last 20 years or more. All installations from Premier Windows come with a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee for complete peace of mind.

Can I install double glazing in a conservation area in Buckinghamshire?

Yes, but you’ll often need permission from the local council. Buckinghamshire has over 200 conservation areas, so it’s important to choose a knowledgeable installer like Premier Windows who can advise on building regulations and compliance.

Will double glazing help with external noise?

Yes. Modern double glazing — especially our Comfort Plus range — significantly reduces external noise, creating a quieter, calmer home environment.
