Local Double Glazing

Heat loss is greatly reduced using double glazing. Double glazing features two panes of glass with a layer of trapped air or gas in-between. Air is a poor conductor of heat so much less heat is lost through the window itself.

When moisture in the air suddenly cools and condenses on a cold window, you get condensation. Well insulated (Low E) double glazing will help prevent condensation from forming on the interior of your window. Replacement glass units or replacement double glazed windows are recommended for windows with condensation.
