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.
Opting to replace your windows can provide a cost-effective solution to improve the thermal efficiency of your business premises, which is crucial in light of rising energy costs.
Though draught-proofing the building structure may be a costly and disruptive process, the switch from single-glazed to double-glazed windows is a simple alternative that can save your business hundreds of pounds in heating bills. This upgrade can be achieved with minimal disruption to your day-to-day business operations and at a low cost.
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 you’ve noticed a sharp increase in your energy bills recently, you’re not alone. It can be frustrating to spend a significant amount of money on gas and electric bills only to discover that your office remains cold and uncomfortable for your employees and customers.
Fortunately, there’s an easy solution: replacing your single-glazed windows with double-glazed ones can significantly enhance the thermal efficiency of your building. With trapped air functioning as an insulator between the two panes, double glazing diminishes heat loss, making it a significantly more efficient option compared to traditional single-glazed windows. Moreover, double glazing can even boost heat gain from sunlight by transferring energy through the panes directly, along with the processes of radiation and convection.
By 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.

Excessive noise from the street and general public can be highly disruptive during a business meeting, making it difficult for your employees to concentrate and engage effectively. This can lead to a decrease in productivity and impact their ability to communicate efficiently.
Moreover, the impact may not be limited to just employees; excessive noise has been scientifically proven to shorten concentration spans, which can potentially make clients less attentive during a pitch, leading to 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%.

Under the Net-Zero scheme, businesses are under increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint.
In the UK, businesses are in a race to establish themselves as ‘green’ companies, with many adopting various eco-friendly initiatives to compete for the numerous incentives available for such organisations – incentives that include substantial 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.
An outdated yet prevalent misconception is that double-glazed windows are more vulnerable to intruders than traditional single-glazed windows. This was a result of the installation method historically used for double-glazed windows, which involved external beading that could be easily removed by burglars. If you have older double-glazed windows, it is imperative to replace them with modern ones.
Modern double-glazed windows utilize internal beading, making it exceedingly difficult for burglars to remove the windowpane from the building structure. The durability of modern double-glazed windowpanes is strong enough to resist heavy objects such as rocks or bricks being thrown at them. Additionally, to gain access to the building, intruders would need to break through two layers of glazing, which is virtually impossible to accomplish undetected.
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.
