This is a great idea in England due our cold weather, the extra layer of glass stops them low temperatures from getting in.

Double glazing is a need if you live on a very loud street or a city apartment where there is loud people on the street. if you do then double glazing is a great way to separate your home form the outside world and not get woken up at night!

It is also a must if you live on a less noisy street but have a small child who sleeps in the day.

Although double glazing may be more expensive than single glass to install, it can benefit greatly, and the money you save on heating bills will almost certainly pay for the installation.
