We spend a
lot of time here telling you all about the benefits of secondary glazing, and
it’s fair to say that we’re well aware of the two main benefits of secondary
glazing: increased thermal efficiency and noise reduction. For example, Glaze
& Save InvisiTherm™ reduces heat loss through your
windows by 63%, while reducing noise by a minimum of 48%, and those are two
benefits we do like to shout about.
However the benefits of secondary glazing, and the discrete systems of InvisiTherm™ in particular, have quite a few benefits that surprise you.
1. Enhanced Security
It’s a sad fact that many of us are required to be more security conscious these days, and this is a rare instance where original windows just aren’t necessarily up to the job. Adding secondary glazing creates an extra barrier, which can assist with low security original windows or properties on ground or sub ground floors.
2. No more faded furniture, pictures and curtains
Glaze & Save InvisiTherm™ completely blocks UV rays, eliminating fading. This is great for those of us who have light sensitive furniture of artefacts (such as in stately homes), but is also great for preserving the life of your soft furnishings, artworks, curtains or wallpaper: in fact, anything that may ordinarily become faded by the sun.
3. No redecoration required
Replacing your original windows is a messy business. Even the installation of traditional secondary glazing tends to mean that redecoration is inevitable. Luckily, Glaze & Save InvisiTherm™ is a completely non-invasive secondary glazing solution that does not require the construction of any frame or support outwith the window frame area itself. This means that no redecoration is required to the surrounding area, saving you money and hassle!
4. Reduces dirt, dust and outdoor pollution
Secondary glazing is an effective way of reducing the ingress of dirt, dust and pollution from outdoors into your home. Original single glazed windows often have multiple gaps and cracks where particles of dirt and dust can make their way in. This is why window sills of old windows are very often dirty and need regular cleaning! By sealing over the cracks with a secondary glazing system such as InvisiTherm™, dirt and dust ingress is virtually eliminated, leading to a cleaner home and better air quality.
5. Extends the life of your original window
InvisiTherm™ is exceptional at reducing, and oftentimes completely eliminating, condensation. This has the added benefit of drying out damp window frames, reducing instances of mould and drying out the general area. This in turn extends the life of both internal and external paintwork, keeping your windows pristine, dry and in excellent condition.
Glaze & Save InvisiTherm is an innovative bespoke magnetic secondary glazing solution that reduces noise, increases thermal efficiency and can actually eradicate condensation from your windows.
