Knowing when and how to replace double glazing glass is helpful to keep your home at the increasing property energy efficiency standards. While double glazing glass can last for decades, eventually, it can fall behind in efficiency standards as glazing technology improves.

At Nolan uPVC, we offer industry leading double and triple glazing with all our uPVC windows and doors. We can replace almost any window within a Wales or South Wales property, and our double glazing can be a worthwhile investment that could pay for itself in just a few years of its lifespan.

When replacing your double glazing, you have a few options. The first is only to replace the double glazing panes within the window frame, and the second is to replace the window entirely with a brand new installation.

Why replace your double glazing glass?

It’s important to replace double glazing to keep your home updated with the latest technologies. By replacing your old double glazing with new modern double glazing, you could further enhance your home's energy efficiency. Over time, weather seals can begin to weaken, and condensation could build up inside the gap between the panes. Usually, double glazing has a lifespan of around 20 years but could last even longer with proper upkeep.

Replacing your misted over double glazing with our modern uPVC windows could give you decades of industry leading performance that can even end up saving you money on your energy bills due to our impressive thermally efficient glazing and profiles. All our double glazed windows meet modern efficiency standards, so you can have peace of mind that your installation will be built to last. Here at Nolan uPVC, all our double glazed windows are accredited by FENSA, Secure by Design, and Constructionline.

Additionally, if you replace your double glazing glass with ones that meet modern energy and safety standards, you could increase the property value of your home. This makes replacing double glazed glass with new equivalents useful for property owners who don’t live within the property as their primary residence.

Should I replace my double glazing with triple glazing?

Double and triple glazing both last, on average, around 20 years. Triple glazing can provide up to 40% more thermal efficiency compared to double glazing. But, it is also much thicker and, therefore, heavier than double glazing, which means both the frames and hinges must be made more robust to compensate for the increased weight. While this does improve the safety and robustness of your installation, there can also be an increased risk of condensation emerging between the glazing near the end of its lifespan.

Can the replacement double glazing be customised?

With Nolan uPVC, it’s easy to get customised double glazing. You can choose from a wide selection of colours and woodgrain foils if you replace the entire window, and we have a vast collection of accessories to match. 

Or, if you’re looking only to replace the double glazing itself, then we can also provide a vast collection of glass textures, including obscuring glass for those that need increased privacy.

Can a home within a conservation area replace its glazing?

In order to replace double glazing glass, you will need to get planning permission if your home resides within a conservation area. Get in touch with your local planning officer to find out if your heritage home can have its double glazing replaced. We can provide woodgrain foils to help retain the original external aesthetic of the property, which may help influence the decision, but it’s always best to check in first.
