Now other than flying less and cutting down on the usage of our cars you may be wondering what else you can do to contribute towards reducing your own carbon footprint. Installing replacement windows is one such way of doing so.

Double glazing in Preston and double glazing in Lancashire is a simple way of lessening the amount of time you keep your heating on within the home, as excessive use of your heating system can not only cost you a lot of money but it could literally be costing the earth. Double glazing is a great way of conserving heat and guaranteeing that any heat created is kept within the home and unable to escape through any gaps which you would find in old timber windows.

Air is trapped between the two thick panes of glass, compared to single glazed windows which only consist of a single pane of glass which is usually unable to cope with poor weather from outside. Double glazing can not only help heat you during the winter months, but due to its unique structure it can also help keep you cool in the summer. Once it is installed you can almost guarantee that your windows will never need be replaced again, so although it can cost a decent sum of money, it will pay for itself over time due to the reduction it will bring in your heating bills.
