Why you should avoid cheap double glazing

Installing quality windows and doors

Buying inferior quality products may not actually give you any benefit to what you have currently which is why you should avoid cheap double glazing.

New double glazing in your windows can reduce heat loss significantly, which in turn saves you a lot of money on your heating bills. These windows can also help reduce noise pollution and provide additional security and comfort to your home.

Why you should avoid cheap double glazing

A good supplier and installer should work with you ensure you are getting the best quality products and services. However, some double-glazing companies or ‘one man band’ installers can adopt crafty sales tactics to convince you that the double-glazing they offer is a brilliant deal, when in reality you’ll be being short-changed. Many double-glazing companies offer UPVC windows or doors at cheap rates. It may seem on the surface like a brilliant price for a fantastic, energy efficient product. The simple truth is that cheap double glazing no where near the same as quality double glazing.

The downside to cheap double glazing

The product will most likely wear down quickly and leave you with the same problems you had before. Cheap double glazing isn’t going to give you greater efficiency and a better home, but instead could give you massive maintenance problems over time. You will probably end up spending more money in the long run as you will have to keep updating your windows and doors in order to see the benefits. Your home is your pride and joy, so it is worth spending the money on to get it right the first time.

The cheaper versions that are available will have had to remove things from the products to cut this price so the quality of them will be significantly reduced. They will most likely let in more draughts, expand and contract in bad weather. This means that it will also begin to crack far quicker than it should, affecting the lifespan of it and costing you more money in the long run.

Choosing the wrong supplier can leave you with nothing but headaches, stress and utter frustration as well as wasting your hard-earned money on cheap windows that are simply not fit for purpose. You need to be sure that the company you choose to do your double glazing is a respectable and trustworthy company who will ensure that the job is done correctly and efficiently and will have long lasting results.
