The Top 7 Benefits of uPVC Double Glazed Windows for Your Home

At JG King Homes, we’re pleased to offer a groundbreaking upgrade for every home: European Styled (uPVC) Double Glazed windows. As with everything we do, our double glazing features consider design that goes beyond beautiful homes, helping you improve energy efficiency, durability, performance, comfort, and sustainability. Our unplasticised polyvinyl chloride windows (uPVC) are double glazed, which uses an argon gas filled spacer, offering a proven way to achieve all these benefits and more.

Here are seven reasons to make the switch today:

1. uPVC Unmatched Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is how much energy you have to use to achieve your desired outcome – for example, how much heat you need to stay warm inside your home. Poor glazing can result in up to 40% of heating energy lost through windows, meaning you need to run your heating harder to keep your home warm. Double glazing – particularly with uPVC window frames, which don’t conduct heat – can improve this heat exchange, meaning you need less energy to regulate your home’s temperature.

2. uPVC With Enhanced Durability for Australian Conditions

Wherever you live in Australia, the weather can quickly make its presence known. uPVC is a type of polymer used in the frame of our double glazing. This material is much more weather-resistant than timber, able to withstand high winds and excessive heat to ensure your home stays airtight and well-regulated.

3. Low Maintenance, High Performance

Avoiding aluminium’s susceptibility to rust and timber’s potential to rot means uPVC frames require little ongoing maintenance across decades-long lifespans. Combine this with the reliability of double glazed windows in general and it’s really set-and-forget when it comes to uPVC double glazing.

4. uPVC Has Superior Noise Reduction

Double glazed uPVC windows and doors offer more than just durability and energy efficiency. Whether you’re trying to keep noise out or in, double glazing is up to 62% more effective at sound insulation than single pane windows, with noise reduction of up to 47 decibels.

5. Stylish and Customisable Designs for uPVC Windows

With a huge range of colours and design styles on offer, uPVC double glazing makes a stylish addition to any home. Ask us about how we can customise uPVC windows and doors to your specifications.

6. uPVC Are Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

uPVC may be a plastic but it’s known for its enviro credentials. The material is BPA-free and non-toxic (it’s often used in medical equipment), more durable than timber and less carbon-intensive to produce than aluminium. It’s also recyclable which means that, at the end of its lifespan, it won’t go to landfill.

7. Cost-Effective Quality

With interest rate rises and growing energy costs, one thing we don’t need as homeowners is additional expenses. uPVC double glazing is an ideal way to reduce costs over the life of your home, with incredible durability, energy efficiency and low maintenance making it a smart and cost-effective investment for the long term.
