Thinking of Replacing Your School Windows?
If you are thinking of replacing your school windows, it makes commercial sense and there are many benefits. Based in Kent, Waller Glazing Services specialises in upgrading school windows in Kent and the south east. We are continuously working with schools, academies and colleges.
But why replace old windows if the current ones look “ok”? There are five main reasons;
- Better Security
- Improved Thermal Efficiency (lower heating costs)
- Enhanced Safety
- Noise Reduction
- Cosmetic Improvement to School Buildings (attract future students to a modern looking school)
Better Security
Double glazed windows are made with toughened and laminated glass which is much harder to damage than old single glazed windows. Multi point locking systems also make it hard to break into buildings via the windows.
Improved Thermal Efficiency (lower heating costs)
Due to the materials used, uPVC and aluminium double glazed windows improve the thermal efficiency of buildings. This allows less heat to escape during the colder months which means lower heating costs!
Enhanced Safety
Due to government legislation, all new windows must be fitted with safety glass. This means that if the glass is damaged it will not break into long dangerous sharp shards unlike older glazing. Toughened glass will shatter into many small pieces which makes deep cuts a thing of the past. Laminated glass is a safety glass that holds together when damaged. If broken it is held in place by an interlayer between its two or more layers of glass. All safety glass will have a stamp on the glass to show that it is safety glass.
Noise Reduction
Waller Glazing Services installed new double glazed windows in a school that is situated on a busy main road. The teachers couldn’t believe what a difference the windows made, reducing the traffic noise to a minimum. This was a benefit to pupil concentration.
Cosmetic Improvement to School Buildings
Many school buildings look tired due to their age. Windows are a large part of any building and, if replaced, can make a difference to the appearance. A facelift could prove very important if you are looking to attract new pupils to the school in the future. Replace old metal, wooden framed, or old uPVC windows with an upgraded system.
