Double Glazing Installers

The cost to install double glazing will depend on the size of your home and how much double glazing you require. If you are getting double glazing on a standard property of 8 windows and 2 doors, it could cost in the region of £4,000. If your property requires double the amount of windows, around 16 windows and 2 doors, it will cost around £6,000. If you are getting double glazing in a larger property with 20 or more windows, you may pay up to £8,000.

Double glazing is cheaper to install in winter and comes with plenty of added benefits, too. The run-up to Christmas is probably the best time, with installers having good availability in the colder months. Double glazing quotes can be less during the winter months, and you may often be encouraged to install double glazing at this time of the year with attractive discounts.

By installing double glazing, significant financial savings can be made. Category B-rated double glazing has an estimated saving of £100 and £140 a year on a detached home's typical heating costs. That saving equates to more than £1,000 over ten years. With A and A+-rated double glazing, this saving is only made better.

On average, it takes 30 minutes to an hour for one new double-glazed window to be installed, depending on the size, style, and fittings of the window. On average, an experienced double-glazing engineer can install around 12 and 15 windows installed in a day, fewer if the windows are particularly large in size. It will take longer to install double-glazed doors.

Installation of new double-glazed windows and doors can be done from either the inside or the outside. This will vary with the style and size of the windows or doors, and the accuracy of the measurements, i.e., ensuring that the window or door space is not too small, nor too large which would lead to gaps around the windows or doors.

It isn't law for landlords to install double glazing unless a property falls under an Energy Performance Certificate rating of F or G. Any homes being rented by landlords that fall under these certificate ratings must make improvements to raise the rating. Improvements could be double glazed windows, giving more warmth and efficiency to a home.

Double glazing can be fitted by anyone with no required certification needed to sign it off as completed. If you are an excellent DIY’er or have previous experience in this kind of installation, it could be a great way to save some extra cash. After you have fitted your double-glazed window, it can be checked over by a professional installer who will ensure that your window is correctly in place.
