What does window insulation do?

Window insulation involves adding extra layers between your home and the cold outdoors. This means that when you heat the air inside your home, it has to go through many more barriers to reach the outside than if you hadn’t added extra insulation. This can come in many forms:

• Double glazing
• Triple glazing
• DIY Window Insulation

Next, we will explore which are the best options for your home.

What’s the best window insulation?

Double Glazing

Nowadays, double glazed windows are ubiquitous. Modern ones, especially, are fantastic at insulating your home. However, you should think about replacing your windows with new double glazing if:

• Your windows are damaged, warped or fog up
• They are older than 20 years old
• Your windows are single glazed

In these cases, you will benefit from a warmer home and lower energy bills when you get new double glazed windows.

Triple Glazing

For insulation from noise and cold that’s a cut above the rest, you can opt for triple glazed windows. These have three panes of glass with two chambers of inert gas between them that keep the cold air from coming into your home.

DIY Window Insulation

These days you can even do some work yourself that will help you insulate your home and enjoy a warmer environment to relax in. There are a few ways you can do this. Here are just some of the options available to you:

• Using foam
• Using bubble wrap
• Window insulation kits

These methods are most commonly used in the US. Foam is a somewhat unattractive option but is a good temporary solution to defective windows. Bubble wrap is also a short-term solution that can offer some respite but must be replaced with something different in the long-term.

Insulation kits can work over the winter and can be ordered from the US to the UK. They are around 15 dollars – or about 12 pounds. These kits are cheap and effective, but not very pretty. Plus, you can’t open the window in question once the wrap has been applied.

If you can’t afford a new set of windows right away, these could save you in the winter. However, temporary solutions won’t last forever so you need to invest in new windows whenever possible.
