Why is Double Glazing Important When You Have Young Children At Home?

April 27, 2022 by admin Leave a Comment

When you have a young family, you may need to spend a lot of time considering the best ways to keep them safe and healthy. This can include the dangers that exist within the home. Having double glazed windows fitted within your property can allow you to benefit in a number of different ways. Not only could they keep your children safer, but they may also make life much more comfortable.

Having your windows fitted correctly can be an important part of this process. You may want to search through a list of double glazing companies to see what is being offered in your area. This can allow you to find a provider who can obtain the correct windows for your property, and fit them in a timely manner.

Due to the use of customer reviews, you might also be able to figure out what each company’s strengths and weaknesses are, allowing you to avoid associating with anyone who may charge hidden fees or act unprofessionally. While keeping costs as low as possible may be important to you, you might also want to consider how crucial it is for the windows to be of high quality, and sealed so that they do not become loose or dangerous.

Poor quality windows may have serious consequences for your child’s welfare. It is possible that some of the 4000 children injured from falls from windows each year are in that position due to faults with those windows itself. 

When on the ground floor or first floor of a property, these injuries may not be life-threatening. However, if you live above the third floor, you may be shocked to hear that window-related incidents can account for 90% of fatalities in regard to falls. Fitting restrictors onto secure, double glazed windows could greatly improve your child’s safety. Regardless of the type of window used, it can be prudent to never leave a young child unaccompanied in a room where the window is unlocked.

Although many people associate double glazing with keeping the heat in, it can also be imperative for keeping heat out during warmer weather. For babies, a room that is too hot could contribute to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, more commonly referred to as SIDS. Having properly glazed and insulated windows may help to regulate the temperature in each room of the house. Even older children might also benefit from windows that can keep the outside elements at bay, in terms of both welfare and comfort.

You may not often give much thought to the windows in your home, especially when other potential dangers may be much more obvious. However, by ensuring that you have at least double glazing within your property, you may be able to prevent illness or injury from occurring to your child. On top of this, good quality windows can help with keeping your home secure and even increase the amount of enjoyment you might be able to gain from where you live.
