The Advantages of Switching from Single to Double-Pane

A full-service real estate company led by co-founders Paul and John Salib, Castellan Real Estate Partners has shown success in turning around properties and selling them at a profit. To unlock a property’s value, Castellan Real Estate Partners makes strategic property management changes and undertakes comprehensive renovations. Part of these renovations includes replacing single-pane windows with double-pane windows.

Double-pane windows are great for energy saving. Comprising two glass panes separated by a gas or air, they offer better insulation against heat loss, preventing outside temperatures from affecting indoor temperature. In a typical home with single-pane windows, 70 percent of heat loss occurs at the windows and doors. According to the Department of Energy, heat loss through the windows is responsible for 25 percent of a property’s annual heating and cooling costs. With double-pane windows though, a property owner reduces his or her energy utilization by as much as 24 percent during winter and 18 percent during summer.

Not only do property owners save more, they also reduce their carbon footprint. High energy utilization means utility companies have to burn more fossil fuels to power the national grid. Low energy utilization reverses this.

Besides temperature, double-pane windows are also good for reducing noise pollution. This is invaluable especially for properties located in noisy neighborhoods or near busy streets. Overall, these benefits make properties more attractive, raising their value.
