Even if your units are not misted, upgrading to modern energy efficient sealed units can:
- Reduce heat loss

You don’t always need new windows — sometimes upgrading the glass is enough.
What Is Energy Efficient Glass?
Modern energy efficient glass includes several key components:
Low-E (Low Emissivity) Coatings
A microscopic coating that reflects heat back into your home while allowing natural light in.
Argon Gas Filled Units
Insulating gas between the panes reduces heat transfer.
Warm Edge Spacer Bars
Improves thermal performance around the perimeter of the unit.
Improved Glass Specifications
Modern sealed units are designed to achieve better thermal performance than older
installations.
Upgrade Without Replacing Frames
Upgrading your sealed units can dramatically improve comfort without removing the existing
frames.
Before – Standard sealed unit
After – New sealed unit with integrated cat flap
Replacing the glass ensures a clean, secure and professional finish.
Is Energy Efficient Glass Right For You?
Energy efficient glass upgrades are ideal if:
- Your home feels cold near windows
- You experience draught-like sensations
- Your windows are older but not failed
- You want to improve insulation without major renovation
- You are upgrading while replacing misted units
If your frames are structurally sound, upgrading the glass is often the smarter choice.
Should You Upgrade to Triple Glazing?
In some cases, upgrading to triple glazed units may provide additional insulation benefits.
We assess
- Frame depth
- Structural suitability
- Thermal goals
If triple glazing is suitable, we’ll advise accordingly.
How Much Does Energy Efficient Glass Replacement Cost?
The cost depends on:
- Unit size
- Double or triple glazing
- Glass specification
- Safety requirements
Replacing only the sealed unit is significantly more affordable than full window replacement.
