Garden structures such as our Tiger Sheds and Tiger Shiplap Pent Sunrooms feature windows to let in natural light, making these buildings more welcoming for gardeners. All our windows are constructed using 4mm toughened glass – far safer if broken than 3mm horticultural glass, which could shatter into dangerous sharp pieces upon impact.
Light and Airy
If you want to turn your garden building into a relaxing reading nook, hobby room or work space that lets in plenty of natural light then installing double glazing is essential. Not only will it keep the structure warm in wintertime, but its use also helps lower humidity levels so your wooden structure will be easier to maintain all year round and continue looking beautiful!
Garden rooms designed with style use high quality glazing as standard, often supplemented with tinted or metal-coated glasses to add additional solar control and protect their buildings against the harsh sunlight while still allowing natural lighting. This method can especially come in handy in historic structures where modern glazing could cause irreparable harm to fabric or finishes.
Additionally, uPVC is a more thermally efficient material than single pane glass and can make a dramatic impactful change to energy efficiency of your shed or summerhouse, saving money by significantly reducing heating and cooling expenses. This could help save money when renting garden office spaces from other providers.
Many inexpensive sheds and summerhouses utilize plastic or perspex windows, which can flex in the wind and become noisy to live with. Furthermore, over time they may discolour with yellow or brown tinting that detracts from its overall aesthetic appeal.
By opting for double or triple glazing with argon gas, you can increase the thermal performance of your shed to help lower energy bills even further. Since windows account for as much as 50% of energy costs, this investment will quickly pay for itself.
Insulated glazing can also prove useful during summer use of your garden building as an outdoor retreat, by keeping the heat inside where it belongs and remaining cooler than it would with single pane glazing alone. When combined with effective insulation and an open layout plan, this can make an enormous difference to its usability year-round.
Aesthetically Pleasing
Garden buildings often come equipped with windows made of single pane glass; however, this may not be suitable if you plan to use your building year round. Double glazing offers better insulation against heat transference as well as noise reduction for an ideal place for working or relaxing.
uPVC windows make an excellent addition to garden sheds and summerhouses, easily upgraded with more reliable options such as wood. Installation is straightforward and the look great from both inside and out of the building; their increased durability makes uPVC an even better choice when exposed to elements.
Garden buildings that feature double glazed windows can add an air of contemporary and stylishness, as these windows consist of two panes of toughened glass connected by an air gap to provide insulation and energy efficiency benefits for the building.
Double glazed windows offer another benefit for garden buildings: they help reduce condensation and mold growth by acting as a moisture barrier, keeping water vapour from condensing into condensation or mold growth.
Sash windows offer a classic aesthetic with the versatility to adapt to modern gardens, but require regular care to maintain. Their two panes slide across one another using a pulley system when opening or closing them – however this requires regular cleanings to keep it looking its best! Unfortunately however, these windows require periodic upkeep in terms of dirt removal.
Double glazing windows make an excellent addition to garden rooms, home offices and living spaces as they offer better insulation and security. Being harder to break makes double-glazed windows more secure than single glazed ones while acting as an effective deterrent against intruders as they don’t see anyone breaking in through the glass surface.
Increased Security
Double glazing not only offers outstanding insulation to keep your garden building comfortable during the cold months and cool in summer, but it can also significantly lower outside noise pollution – perfect for anyone wanting peace and quiet when working or relaxing in their garden building. Plus, its harder breaking properties provide peace of mind knowing your timber garden building is safe from intruders.
Selecting the ideal timber building, whether for use as a garden shed, retreat space or outdoor office can make all the difference in terms of meeting your specific needs. Factors to keep in mind include its size, layout and style as well as how much light needs to come in as well as any energy efficiency features required for it to meet them all.
Double glazing is an increasingly popular feature when it comes to home improvement projects, and should also be taken into consideration when shopping for a garden shed. Not only can it increase security but it may help save you money when heating and cooling it as well. Double glazed windows feature two panes separated by an air gap which is filled with an inert gas such as argon; providing extra layers of protection in winter and cooling it in the summer.
While some sheds employ less-than-sturdy plastic or perspex windows for their windows, double glazed options are more durable and provide better visibility – something especially crucial if your garden shed is being used as part of a business operation. Cheaper options may flex in response to wind gusts and cause noise disruption during use; cheap alternatives will likely flex more than their more durable counterparts which makes them noisier options overall.
Installing new double glazing requires accurately measuring your window frame to ensure that its new windows fit securely, without leaving gaps behind them. Once this step has been taken, enlisting help from another person is best in order to remove old windows from their frames before prepping them for installation by taking steps such as unscrewing any screws or nails holding it together before positioning and securing new double glazed windows with packers to maintain an even gap around their entire frames.
Energy Efficiency
Windows are at the heart of any garden building and serve multiple functions – from creating an ideal atmosphere to increasing energy efficiency. Windows allow natural light into your workspace for an airy and bright atmosphere, providing access to outdoor views from within your shed, office or log cabin.
Single glazed windows present many issues, such as poor insulation, condensation and high energy bills – not ideal for the British climate when temperatures can become both cold and wet. Contrarily, double glazed windows offer numerous benefits including reduced heating costs while keeping cosy spaces warm in winter and cool in summer – not to mention helping reduce outside noise pollution for an idyllic place to work or relax!
Double glazed windows can do more than save energy; they’re also great at protecting the environment. By limiting heat loss and cutting overall energy consumption, double glazed windows help your heating system operate more efficiently while cutting overall consumption costs. While double glazed windows are most often found in homes or commercial buildings, garden sheds also benefit from having double-glazed windows installed to improve insulation while conserving natural resources.
Shed windows are commonly constructed from lightweight and inexpensive polystyrene or polycarbonate materials that can become misted and faded over time, becoming misty and foggy over time. Double glazed windows, however, are more resilient as they’re typically constructed out of glass or thickened uPVC – more energy-efficient than their single pane counterparts – saving up to 50% off in energy bills versus traditional single pane ones.
Double glazed windows have become increasingly popular for their energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal, adding significant resale value to garden buildings with double glazed uPVC windows. As more homeowners recognize the advantages of energy-saving solutions such as double glazed uPVC windows, more are willing to pay a premium price for properties featuring these energy-saving windows. Furthermore, energy efficient features play an integral part in determining your EPC rating; installing them into garden buildings will increase their resale value considerably.
