Single vs double glazing: pros and cons
Choosing between single and double glazing depends on your needs, budget, and property type. Here’s how they compare:
- Single Glazed Windows:
- Pros: Lower upfront cost and suitable for period properties or rooms where insulation is less critical.
- Cons: Poor insulation compared to double glazing, leading to higher heating bills and less soundproofing.
- Tips: Insulating single glazed windows with draft-proofing materials can improve their efficiency.
- Double Glazed Windows:
- Pros: Excellent insulation, reducing heat loss, energy bills, and outside noise. They also add value to your home.
- Cons: Higher initial cost compared to single glazing and may not be suitable for homes in conservation areas.
How much does it cost to install double/single glazed windows?
The cost of window installation depends on the type of glazing, size, and materials:
- Single Glazed Windows: Installation costs typically range from £100 to £300 per window, depending on size and style.
- Double Glazed Windows: Costs for double glazing range from £350 to £800 per window, with variations based on frame material (e.g., uPVC, wood, or aluminium). Larger or bespoke designs may cost more.
