How To Get Free Double Glazing With The Green Deal

There are various options available to home owners, landlords and tenants under the Governments green deal scheme. One such grant under the plan is free double glazing, however there is a catch.

A large proportion of Britain's housing stock has single glazing fitted, as a result the energy performance rating of the home would be lower than houses fitted with "A" rated double glazed windows which have better thermal performance and keep your home warmer on cold winter days and nights.

The good news is that under the scheme if you meet the "golden rule" eligibility criteria set out by the Government (the rules are explained by your local green deal advisor) then you can have new UPVC double glazing fitted as a replacement.

Ensure you get a recommended installer
 Having double or secondary glazing can help you reduce your energy bills, cut carbon emissions and save you money. Most installers will conduct an initial survey of your home and on delivery most homes can have a complete installation carried out in a couple of days. Thereafter you can reap the benefits of staying warmer in winter and the extra piece of mind that your heating bills will also be cut.

So what's the catch - well unlike the other home improvement options available through the plan in the case of Double Glazing the property owner will have to pay a proportion of the cost of the supply and installation for this upgrade. The final amount that you would have to pay has not been decided as yet, however it will be substantially less than buying double glazed windows outright. If your interested in improving the energy efficiency of your home then find out more about Home Improvements.

  6. The space between the two panes of glass traps air, forming a layer of insulation. If the seal isn’t airtight, condensation will appear between the panes.

  7. Double glazing doors and windows can make a huge difference thanks to their insulation properties, as they keep the heat inside.

  11. One of the most dramatic benefits of double glazing is the reduction in noise pollution. When you replace your single pane windows with double glazed windows, you will hear less street noise and other sounds from outside your home.
