3 Ways Double Glazing Improves Indoor Air Quality

Double glazing is a popular home improvement option for many homeowners, and for very good reason. They look fantastic (Ecostar has over 700 designs and styles) and modernise your home. Not only does it help to reduce energy costs and enhance the overall look of your home, but it also improves indoor air quality in a number of ways. This is one of the unsung benefits of double glazing and it’s rarely focused on, so we thought we’d take the opportunity to shine a spotlight on it. Read on to see just three ways that double glazing can improve the air quality inside your home.

Reduced Drafts

Double glazed windows are much better at sealing out drafts than single pane windows. This means that there is less air leakage, which can help to reduce the amount of pollutants that enter your home or office. This is particularly important for people with allergies or respiratory issues, as drafts can aggravate these conditions.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Double glazed windows are also much more energy efficient than regular windows. This means that they help to keep your home or office warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This can reduce the amount of pollutants that are created by heating and cooling systems. You’ll be saving energy, and loads of money, too.

Reduced Condensation

Double glazed windows are less likely to develop condensation on the inside surface. This is because the space between the two panes of glass acts as an insulator, which helps to keep the inside surface of the window at a consistent temperature. Condensation can be a breeding ground for mould and other air contaminants, so reducing it can improve indoor air quality. As an added bonus, this also reduces the chance of water damage to your window frames and wallpaper.

Double glazing is an excellent option for those looking to improve indoor air quality in their home or office. Not only does it reduce drafts and improve energy efficiency, it also cuts down the risk of condensation, which can be a breeding ground for pollutants. If you’re thinking of upgrading your windows, Ecostar double glazing is the way to go for improving your indoor air quality!
