Reduced condensation
Double-glazed windows are less likely to be affected by condensation. They're also more energy efficient. Internal condensation is only a problem if there's too much humidity in the air or low room temperature, and it's best handled by enhancing ventilation and eliminating moisture sources like pets and houseplants shedding. Condensation should be removed promptly, since it can cause mold and rot when left on surfaces.
In the case of double glazed windows, condensation may appear on the outside of the window panes when they begin to warm up in the morning or after you turn the heating on. This is normal and it will clear as the glass warms up. However, it is important to remember that condensation doesn't only form on windows but may also get accumulated on the sills, frames and the plaster the surface of wooden or aluminium frames.

It is worth evaluating whether it is more economical to replace the windows over the long run. However it is a decision which should be taken in consultation with the window manufacturer since it will depend on the expected life span of the windows.

Double-glazed windows consist of two panes that are separated by an inert gas, or air. The glass itself is more dense than one pane, and therefore it isn't as likely to vibrate when the sound hits it. The argon between the panes has distinct properties like air and it can dampen vibrations before they reach you.
This will help create a quieter living space, ideal for a restful night's sleep or a serene atmosphere. You can also go a step further by choosing acoustic glass that is designed specifically to cut down on noise.
