It is worthwhile considering installing MagicSeal's retrofit double glazing to your existing windows to help keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Acrylic prevents the transfer of temperature eight times better than glass. In Winter when your heating is on you will notice your home heats up quicker and stays warmer for longer when the heating gets switched off.
Summer time expect the cool air-conditioned air to remain in your home and not dissipate through your single glazed windows, again staying cooler even when you've switched off the heat pump/air conditioning.
The cost savings alone from keeping your home more comfortable will result in a significant decrease in energy bills and an increase in warmth in winter and cooling in summer. The investment will be worthwhile for a warmer, drier, healthier home with lower energy costs and better insulation

This acts as an insulation baffle, therefore reduce noise and the amount of sound transmitted through the single pane.
