If this is happening frequently, particularly during the winter, you can either replace the sealed unit, or get brand new windows.

Changing to double glazing will see an immediate improvement in the warmth and insulation from outside sounds, if your home in Southborough has currently got windows with single glazing.

The Benefits of Double Glazing in Southborough

Additionally, double glazing can help to reduce noise pollution, as thicker windows will reduce noise from busy roads, airports, and other sources.

Another benefit of double glazing is that it can reduce your winter heating bill by up to 50%.

Condensation is a serious problem in a home. Excess moisture that accumulates on windows and doors can lead to mould and rot, affecting the house's value as well as the health of its occupants.
