When you look at old houses they will commonly have sash windows on them. These sorts of windows are usually very drafty and this is because they are fairly loose fitted and can be subject to wear and tear over the decades that the house has been standing. As such, it is a great option to get these windows upgraded to double glazed sash windows. These have a fair few benefits that you can take advantage of.
Designed to increase insulation and sealed to prevent drafts, double glazed windows are desirable wherever windows are needed. The two panes of glass, separated by a “dead” space that usually contains an inert gas, create an effective thermal barrier between the inside and the outside. Spacers, usually made of thin gauge steel or aluminum, hold the glass in place. To prevent condensation between the panes, desiccant is often installed within the spacer between the glass layers. Manufactured specifically to slow the transfer of heat or cold, double glazed windows are a welcome addition to any room.
