Is there a benefit to adding magnetic secondary glazing to your windows in the summer? People often leave getting their secondary glazing until the winter months when the cold is already beginning to bite. The addition of secondary glazing in the summer however offers several key benefits. Here are the main advantages during warmer months:
1. Improved Thermal Insulation (Keeps Heat Out)
People often associate Secondary glazing with reduces solar heat gain by creating an insulating air gap between the original window and the secondary pane. This helps to keep indoor temperatures cooler making rooms for comfortable during hotter times
2. Lowers energy consumption
The improvement in comfort you can achieve by reducing room temperatures makes it less likely that you will need to rely so much on fans or even air conditioning devices.
This will in turn lower the energy charges for these electrically powered devices.
3. Noise Reduction
This year-round benefit is easy to achieve with the addition of secondary glazing panels to existing glass windows. Magnetic secondary glazing reduces external noise by adding a buffer between the two and forming an effective sound barrier.
4. Get winter ready
We rarely have a few weeks warning for when the feel of winter will set in. Although we know our homes will inevitably get colder in the wintertime, we do not necessarily know when the temperatures will start to drop. Ordering the magnetic secondary glazing before the onslaught will give you time to have the panels delivered and fitted in readiness for whenever the cold arrives. Magnetic secondary glazing is also easily removed or replaced should you not want to leave it up straight away.
So why wait – enjoy the benefits of magnetic double glazing all year round!
