Why Autumn is the Best Time for Double Glazing

As autumn arrives, there’s one home improvement that stands out above all others for both comfort and savings: replacement double glazing. At East Lothian Glass and Glazing, we’ve been trusted for over 70 years to deliver glazing solutions that stand the test of time. And if you’ve been wondering whether this is the season to upgrade your windows, the answer is a resounding yes.

Why autumn?

It’s simple. Temperatures are dropping, energy use is climbing, and you’ll soon be relying on your heating system every day. Old or inefficient glazing lets precious warmth escape, forcing you to spend more on energy bills. Replacement double glazing provides an immediate improvement in insulation, reducing heat loss and helping your home stay cosy for less.

But the benefits don’t stop with energy savings. Modern double glazing also significantly reduces outside noise. If you live near busy roads or in a lively neighbourhood, new windows create a quieter, calmer atmosphere inside. For many of our customers, the difference is night and day.

Improved Security

There’s also the matter of security. Old or damaged frames and panes can be easier to force open, leaving your home vulnerable. Replacement glazing installed by professionals gives you peace of mind with improved locking systems and sturdy, long-lasting frames.

Curb Appeal and Property Value

Fresh glazing updates the look of your home, boosting curb appeal and even increasing resale value. Whether you prefer sleek modern styles or frames that blend with a traditional property, we can help you choose the right match.

Signs you need to replace your glazing

• Condensation between panes

• Draughts you can feel near the window

• Visible damage to frames and seals

• Higher heating bills without a clear reason

These are all indicators that it’s time to act. Waiting until winter only makes the problem worse and costlier. Acting now ensures your home is ready for the coldest months.
