1. Enhanced Energy Efficiency
An influential factor – along with less noise and better comfort – for Perth residents is that they can improve the energy efficiency of their homes, which is likely the driving reason for the majority of Perth residents embracing double glazing. Unlike a single pane of glass, double glazed units include two panes of glass with an insulation gas layer in between. This drastically cuts thermal transfer meaning that in summer your home is cooler and in winter it is warmer.
With Perth homes really feeling the heat with air conditioners and heaters working overtime, double glazing can lead to significantly reduced energy use. Less heating/cooling means reduced energy bills and a smaller environmental footprint – something all homeowners will appreciate!
2. Better Comfort All Year Round
Older windows will often leak, will have drafts, and create hot or cold spots around its glazing. Double-glazing does away with this issue and will create a continuous seal around your home. It will keep a more even temperature indoors and allow you to be more comfortable at home, fixtures doing work close or next to glazing.
Furthermore, our uPVC window frames (which are the only kind we sell here at Canon) also give better insulation when compared with regular aluminium frames, which conduct heat and cold. The combination of uPVC and double glazing, your home will be like a special place from changing weather.
3. Superior Decreased Noise
Noise pollution can impact your peace of mind regardless of whether you live next to a busy street, busy train line, or in a busy suburb. Double glazing improves noise pollution issues due to the dual-pane and the isolating air gap which isolates and reduces outside noise levels.
Many Perth homeowners are surprised at how much quieter their homes become when they install Canon’s double glazed windows. It doesn’t just improve energy efficiency, but also improves your living circumstances by reducing noise pollution.
4. Greater Security
When replacing older windows, you may notice that many old windows came with poor latching or locking mechanisms, some hadn’t even got an internal latch of lock, and glass may even be quite flimsy. Old windows are security risks, that’s why Canon’s double glazed windows are built with safety in mind. The two panes of toughened glass are significantly harder to break than one single pane of glass, not to mention our multi-point locking mechanisms on the uPVC frames are vastly better than bolts/screws and things provided with an old poorly fitted sash window.
You may be a family considering, or now want to, incorporate extra protection into their home, and upgrading to a double glazing in the home is an obvious means of providing that protection.
5. Less Condensation and Dampness
Perth’s coastal climate can have its downsides, one of them being moisture build up, and consequent condensation, on colder surfaces, typically poorly insulated windows. This can lead to mold growth , and further terminal damage to the interior walls, or furniture items. Double glazed allows condensation to get away much more readily, because with the interior pane being much warmer, it does not have the same cold surface appeal for water vapour.
The benefit of this is particularly relevant for older homes where problematic moisture levels already present an ongoing battle!
6. Increase Your Property’s Worth
Double glazed windows aren’t just a lifestyle choice; it is a worthwhile financial move. Modern homebuyers are looking for energy efficient, low-maintenance homes with modern conveniences. Double glazed windows offer a modern upgrade without detracting from the quality of your property.
If you plan to sell your home in the short term or stay there for a while, double glazing supplied by Canon Windows will improve the curb appeal of your property and increase the value of your home.
7. Low Maintenance, Long Life
Canon’s uPVC windows are engineered to resist Perth’s harsh sun and coastal conditions. Unlike timber, which can warp and rot, and unlike aluminium which can corrode, uPVC is weather-resistant and practically maintenance free. A simple wipe down now and again will keep your windows looking brand new.
Coupled with the long-life of double glazed units, often 20 years or more, this upgrade will pay for itself.
