Is All Double Glazing The Same?

Absolutely not.

All replacement windows and doors vary significantly in their lifespan, their ability to keep in heat, their ability to keep out high winds and driving rain and their ability to keep out intruders.

If all double glazing was the same, cost would be the only issue to consider, but this is far from the case. Buying replacement windows and doors based on cost alone will seldom result in getting the best replacement windows or double glazing for your needs, or the best value for money over the lifespan of your installation.

Which is the best value for money?

A householder gets two quotes for replacement double glazing direct from two local double glazing contractors. Both sets of replacement windows look the same but one quote is £200 more than the other.

The lower quote uses cheaper materials which will start to present problems within 5 years.

The more expensive quote uses more energy efficient materials that could save an extra £50 a year and have a 20 year lifespan.
