Should People Still Be Living with Single Glazing?
With the clear benefits of installing secondary or double glazing, it may come as a surprise to many of us that people are still living with single glazing windows. Especially with the ever-growing cost of energy bills, it’s hard to believe that some people aren’t reaping the benefits of installing secondary glazing in their home.
If you’re still living with single glazing in your property, keep reading to discover just why you should consider making a change.
Poor security
For most of us, the security of our home is of utmost importance. Preventing break-ins, putting you at ease and keeping your family and property safe is the number one priority. But if you’re still using single glazing windows, you’re making it much easier for thieves to break in. A single pane of glass can easily shatter, providing a quick entry point for burglars.

Whether your home is close to a road, an airport or you’re just in a busy city, you’ll understand the frustration of not being able to block out the loud noise.

Despite the obvious disadvantages of single glazing windows, a number of people are still living with them. Why? One of the key reasons for keeping single glazing is to preserve the original character of a home. Installing double glazing involves removing original windows and replacing them with a modern alternative, which can transform the look of a building and diminish its style. However, there is an alternative…
