What are the Different Styles of Double Glazing Windows?
When it comes to double glazing, there are several popular styles to choose from. Each style offers unique benefits in terms of aesthetics, functionality, and energy efficiency.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are always a popular choice due to their versatility and ease of use. These windows are hinged at the side and open outward, providing excellent ventilation and unobstructed views. They are an ideal option for modern homes and come in a range of colours and finishes to match your décor. Explore our casement windows here.
Sash Windows
For homeowners who prefer a traditional style, sash windows are an excellent option. These windows slide vertically and are perfect for older properties looking to maintain their classic look. Sash windows are not only aesthetically pleasing but also offer great sound insulation and energy efficiency. Discover our sash windows here.

By far the most respected and well-crafted uPVC timber effect window styles on the market, Double Glazing Essex Ltd are proud to offer homeowners windows from the Residence Collection. They provide properties with the natural beauty and look of timber combined with the low maintenance qualities of contemporary materials. Comprising Residence 9, Residence 7, and Residence 2, there’s a variant suited to all homes.

uPVC Windows

Timber Windows
Timber windows are an excellent choice for both modern and period properties.

Aluminium Windows
Aluminium windows are an increasingly popular choice for UK homeowners. Known for their strength and durability, aluminium windows can be used to create windows of almost any shape and size. These windows are rated A+ for energy efficiency, with multi-chambered frames and robust structures providing outstanding levels of thermal performance. Aluminium windows typically have slimmer frames, allowing for more natural light and panoramic views. Discover our aluminium windows.
What is the Difference Between Old and New Double Glazing?
Over the years, each type of double glazing technology has significantly improved, offering improved energy efficiency, security, and noise reduction compared to older models.
Energy Efficiency
Modern double glazing exceeds the minimum energy efficiency standards, with our units achieving as low as 0.8 W/m²K. This means better heat retention, reduced heat loss, and lower energy bills for homeowners. Learn more about our energy-efficient windows.
Better Security
New double glazing units are designed with security in mind. Extra panes of glass and multi-point locking systems make it harder for intruders to break in, providing homeowners with peace of mind. Find out about our secure and durable window options.
Noise Reduction
Modern double glazing offers superior soundproofing, making your home a quiet sanctuary. This is especially beneficial for homes near busy roads or in urban areas. Explore our soundproof windows.
When to Replace Double Glazing?
Knowing when to replace your double glazing is crucial to maintaining an efficient and secure home. Here are some signs that it might be time to upgrade your window unit:
Condensation Between Panes:
This indicates that the seal has failed, and the unit is no longer effective.
Drafts and Cold Spots:
If you feel cold air coming through your windows, it’s a sign that they are not performing well.
Increased Energy Bills:
Older windows may be less energy-efficient, leading to higher heating costs.
Visible Damage:
Cracks, warping, or broken hinges are clear indicators that your windows need replacement.
If you notice any of these signs, it might be time to invest in new windows. Get in touch with us for a quote.
