Winter in Glasgow brings cold temperatures, heavy rain and biting winds, making effective double glazing essential for keeping homes warm and energy efficient. Poor or ageing windows can quickly lead to heat loss, draughts and higher energy bills. As experienced local glaziers in Glasgow, understanding when to repair or replace your double glazing, which can make a real difference during the colder months.
Why Double Glazing Is Important During Winter
High-quality double glazing helps protect your home by:
Reducing heat loss through windows and improving insulation
Minimising cold draughts caused by worn seals or older frames
Lowering condensation levels, helping to prevent damp and mould
Improving sound insulation, particularly useful in busy areas of Glasgow
If your windows are performing well, your home should feel warmer and more comfortable without constantly turning up the heating.
Signs Your Double Glazing Needs Replacing
Many homeowners are unaware that their windows are no longer working efficiently. Common signs include:
Cold air coming through even when windows are closed
Foggy or misted glass between the panes
Frames that are cracked, warped or difficult to open and close
Noticeably higher heating bills during winter
Most double glazing lasts around 15 to 20 years. In Glasgow’s wet and windy climate, wear and tear can occur sooner if windows are not properly maintained.
