Energy Efficient Double Glazing in Bromley Double glazing is a fantastic method to make your home more energy efficient. Not only will it help you save money on your electric bills but it can also reduce condensation and draughts within your home.

This is because your house will be warmer and you won't have to heat more often. Eden replacement uPVC windows increase the energy efficiency of your Bromley home by blocking as much heat as possible from passing through your old, single glazed window frames.

One of the most sinister tricks an unprofessional double glazing salesperson will employ is to sell their products at a 'discounted price', which they may then claim is only available for a certain period of time. For instance, a “summer sale' or a 'January sale'. This tactic is similar to the way supermarkets advertise their products, by educating the public to expect the lowest price.
