Double glazing is one of the most widely used types of glazing across the UK. Comprised of two panes of glass separated by a spacer bar, a double glazed unit uses the insulating space between panes to slow the escape of warmth from a building.
With over 20 years’ experience, at Albany Windows we provide high quality double glazing for a range of properties across Cheltenham, Gloucester and the surrounding areas. We install energy-efficient, long-lasting, and attractive uPVC and aluminium windows, doors, and conservatories that will perfectly suit your home. Whether your home is a thatched cottage in the Cotswolds or you are looking for something more modern for your renovation; we have a range of double glazing options that will match your home improvement needs.
Get in TouchAt Albany Windows, we use Planitherm Total+ low emissivity glass in our double glazed units because of its exceptional thermal performance and energy rating. This type of double glazing achieves an ultra-low U Value of 1.4 W/m2K, thus keeping your Cheltenham home significantly warmer for longer and potentially saving you money on the cost of your energy bills.
Planitherm Total+ double glazing also uses an innovative coating to reflect excess heating in the summer but retain heat in the winter, making it perfect for naturally regulating temperature in a home.

If you are starting to feel draughts inside your home then this could mean that the seals around your window frames have started to fall apart. Starting to notice an increase in your energy bills? There could be a variety of factors for this but it might be a good idea to take a look at your double glazing.
Condensation can be another sign of your double glazing needing to be replaced, as it shows a sign that there is a possible leak between the panes of glass. Similarly, if there is any water leaking inside the window from rainfall then it is likely a failed seal that is the problem. If your double glazing windows are on the older side, for example, 15-20 years old, then it would be a more cost-effective option to simply have them replaced.

Another short-term fix would be to use a dryer of some variety, such as a hairdryer. This can help to serve the same purpose as utilising the warm air feature in a car to draw out the moisture. In terms of more permanent fixes, replacing the seals on your windows may do the trick, or you may well have to end up replacing your double glazing entirely.
