Commercial double glazing can be the solution to many common problems that companies experience. For example, if you’ve noticed that your business space is cold and draughty, or you’ve had complaints from customers and employees about the temperature of your rooms, there’s one simple step you can take to make your premises more warm, inviting, and comfortable: investing in double-glazed windows.
While draught-proofing the structure of your building can be an expensive and disruptive task, getting your windows replaced is simple and cost-effective, and it can save your business hundreds of pounds in heating bills.
As the price of electricity and gas continues to escalate, it’s more important than ever for businesses to ensure the thermal efficiency of their business premises, and this can be achieved with minimal cost or disruption to routine business operations by simply switching from single-glazed to double-glazed windows.
And it’s not just money that you will save either; double glazing offers numerous benefits to businesses, covering everything from costs to reduced carbon emissions.
If your energy bills have been skyrocketing lately, you’re not alone. You may find that you are paying out of pocket for extortionate gas and electric bills, only to find that no matter how much you spend, your office continues to be cold and uncomfortable for you, your customers, and employees.
But there is a simple solution: switching from single-glazing to double-glazed windows can greatly improve the thermal efficiency of your structure. Double glazing reduces heat loss by using trapped air between the two panes as an insulator, which is by far more efficient than traditional single-glazed windows. Double glazing can even improve heat gain from sunlight, by transferring the energy inwards through the panes directly, and by the processes of radiation and convection.
In contrast, single-glazed windows can lose up to 70% of all heat generated within the building, resulting in unnecessarily expensive gas and electric bills. In fact, heat is lost twice as fast through single glazing than through standard double-glazed windows. By simply switching to double-glazing, your business can reduce heat loss by up to 74%, generating huge savings and creating a more comfortable atmosphere for your customers and employees.
In real terms, this could be a saving of up to £235 per year, which is a very welcome benefit to businesses in the current economic climate.

There’s nothing more disruptive when conducting a business meeting than the sounds of traffic and the public in the street below. Excessive noise can affect your employees’ concentration, which may impact their productivity and ability to engage and communicate effectively.
This may also impact your ability to communicate to clients; noise has been scientifically proven to reduce concentration spans, which may make your clients less attentive during a pitch, with the result of reduced engagement and fewer sales.
Single glazing may be a factor in noise levels in your office. Single glazing offers just 25 decibels of noise reduction, which stands in stark contrast with double glazing, which can offer up to 45 decibels. That’s an overall noise reduction of up to 65%.
If your team is struggling to concentrate against background noise, make the change today. Call us on 01908 828960 for your free quote!
Under the Net-Zero scheme, businesses are under increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint.
Companies across the UK are racing to prove their status as ‘green businesses’, with many adopting green initiatives in competition for the many financial incentives on offer for eco-friendly organisations, including government loans and grants.
In June 2021, 38% of businesses reported that they are taking action to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, with a further 28% promising to take action within 12 months.
By making the simple choice to switch to double glazing, your business can save up to 680 kg of carbon emissions per year. To put this in perspective, that’s the carbon emissions of driving a car for 3000 miles.

According to data from the Office of National Statistics, intruders gain entry through the window in 30% of domestic burglaries.
It’s a common and outdated misconception that double-glazed windows are more vulnerable to intruders than traditional, single-glazed windows. This was due to the external beading that was historically used to install double-glazed windows, which made it easy for burglars to remove the windowpane. As such, if you have older models of double-glazed windows, it is essential to have them replaced with modern double-glazing.
Modern double-glazed windows now use internal beading, which makes it extremely difficult for burglars to remove the windowpane from the building structure. Modern double-glazed windowpanes are strong enough to resist even heavy objects such as rocks or bricks being thrown against them, and an intruder would need to smash through two layers of this glazing unnoticed to gain access to the building; a virtually impossible feat.
By contrast, single-glazing is highly vulnerable to intruders. A skilled burglar can remove a single-glazed windowpane by simply removing the window putty securing the pane, and even the most amateur of criminals can easily smash a single-glazed window using a stone or brick.
With a burglary taking place every 106 seconds in the UK, affecting 1 in 10 business premises, employers cannot afford to take their chances against commercial burglary.
