When adding a conservatory, orangery or sunroom to your house it pays on the long run not to skimp on cheap materials. Be sure what your contractor is supplying when getting your quote. All glass is not equal and all quotes should be on a level playing field basis.

We recommend that no matter how large the glass area of your building, you use double- glazing as a minimum standard. Double glazed windows consist of two panes of glass sealed together with air or gas between them, which acts as an insulator. This allows the sun's heat and light to pass through the glass into your home, but reduces the heat lost.

With double-glazing, you'll block noise. The extra layer of glass in double-glazing literally doubles the sound-reducing abilities of the glass. Double-glazing in Ireland is particularly useful for those many houses that are along busy roads, creating a much quieter and more homely feel.

Double-glazing also means you c ut energy costs. The added insulation in double-glazing means that you won't be spending unnecessary money on heating and cooling because the temperature will maintain itself for longer.

Apart from these considerations in these times of global awareness, remember that double-glazing is better for the environment. By reducing the amount of energy in your home, you are not just saving costs. You are also reducing your personal carbon footprint, meaning that you are doing your bit for the welfare of our planet.
