Double glazing plays a crucial role in maintaining your home's energy efficiency by reducing heat loss and keeping your space comfortable. However, over time, windows can lose their effectiveness due to wear and tear. The key question is whether to repair or replace them.
If you notice condensation between the panes or draughts, repairing the seals or replacing individual components might restore the window's insulating properties. Fixing these issues can be a cost-effective way to regain energy efficiency without the expense of a full replacement.
However, if the windows are severely damaged, such as with cracked glass, warped frames, or repeated condensation problems, replacement may be the better option. Shepherds Bush Glaziers offers enhanced thermal performance, which can lead to significant energy savings over time.
In general, minor issues can be addressed with repairs, but older or severely compromised windows often benefit more from a full replacement to optimize energy efficiency.
