Not all modern houses have double glazing, though double gazing id a very commonplace practice. Double glazing significant reduces the rate at which heat penetrates the house reducing heating, and cooling costs.
Why use double glazing?
Double glazing helps improve energy efficiency in the home as it is has superior heat insulator properties to a single pane window. Double glazed windows usually carry the beenfit of being fitted with excellent anti-burglar locks which are recognised by insurance companies in the UK. The standard for double glazed windows is Pilkington K Glass which is manufactured in Italy. The benefits of double glazing are simple; double glazing saves you money, reduces your energy bills and reduces your carbon footprint. Save money on energy bills by replacing all the single glazed windows in your home with energy efficient glazing. This could save you around £135 per year on your energy bills. Reduce your carbon footprint by cutting down on the energy used to heat your home because less heat is escaping through your windows. You will generate less carbon dioxide (CO2) which is what leads to global warming. Be more comfortable in your home as energy efficient double glazing reduces heat loss through windows and means fewer draughts and cold spots. More peace and quiet because as well as keeping the heat in, energy efficient double glazed windows can insulate your home against unwanted outside noise.

What is double glazing is and when is it used?
Double glazing is where two sheets of glass are placed together in a frame with a vacuum between the panes. The vacuum prevents cold entering from the outside and warmth existing from the inside. Therefore it is normally used for external windows and doors. Note. It also acts a noise reducer and some houses near airports and their flight paths even have triple or quadruple glazing to reduce aircraft noise.
What does double glazing windows do?
Double glazing keeps your house at a constant temperature because there is a vacuum in between two layers of glass. There is no air or particles of any kind in a vacuum, so heat cannot be conducted through it. Therefore the heat inside the building cannot be lost to outside, and vice versa
