Secondary Glazing SpecialistsDo I Need Energy-Efficient Windows In The Summer?
As the weather warms up and the days get longer, the heating can be turned down, and our energy bills will start dropping. Yet one of the most common questions that we are asked here at Clearview Secondary Glazing is whether energy-efficient windows are still needed during the summer months or whether they can wait until next winter before upgrading their property.
This is a valid question, and in this latest article, we thought we would take a look at why secondary-glazed windows can be just as beneficial in the summer as in the winter…
Keep the cool in
Secondary glazed windows are highly energy efficient. In the winter months, which means that they help to keep the heat in, reducing the need to have your heating on so high. However, in the summer months, the opposite is true, and they help to stop the heat from the outside from transferring in! This means your home can stay cooler, meaning your air con systems or fans do not need to work so hard to cool the room.
Minimise UV rays
UV rays from sunlight can be very damaging to your furnishings, curtains, carpets and even wooden floors. Prolonged exposure over the years can lead to fabrics fading in colour and requiring you to replace your belongings more frequently. Secondary glazed windows help minimise the UV rays that pass through the panes, protecting your interior!
Minimise noise
As the weather warms up, people gravitate to being outside. However, this can lead to an increase in noise pollution that can disturb your day-to-day life. Secondary glazed windows offer fantastic noise insulation, reducing noise pollution by up to 50 dB and helping to create a serene and peaceful interior no matter what is happening outside.
Greater security
Are you heading away on a summer holiday? Installing secondary glazing to your property can give you peace of mind that your home is safe and secure. Windows are one of the most common entryways for criminals looking to target your home, so adding a secondary barrier makes it far more challenging for thieves looking to gain entry. This increased security is a major deterrent to any would-be criminals!
Ready for winter
Of course, opting to have your property fitted with secondary glazing during the summer months means you will be fully ready for when winter returns! The warmer months are the ideal time to have your windows updated, as you’ll face less disruption with cold or rainy weather, ensuring a quicker installation.
