Finding window prices for a window replacement can be a difficult business. There are so many factors that can affect the price of the materials and labour involved that it’s almost impossible for a window installer to estimate without visiting your home.

Double glazing will help reduce condensation on windows. As double glazing is made up of two panes of glass with an air gap in between, it means the inner pane of glass will be warmer which means less chance of condensation. One of the benefits of double glazing is that they reduce the loss of heat from your home. With single glazed windows, the surface temperature of the glass is lower which increases the risk of condensation, especially in winter. Double glazing can’t eliminate condensation entirely, so following a combined approach of windows, ventilation and reduced moisture is the only way to completely get rid of condensation.

However, it’s important to be aware that double glazing isn’t actually soundproof.
