Glazing Options Double-Glazed And Triple-Glazed Windows

Working days are Monday to Friday; weekends and public holidays are excluded.If any items ordered on a next day delivery are out of stock, we will contact you to organise alternative arrangements. This provides easy, quick and cost effective heat insulation too, along with instant access to the window making cleaning and ventilation simple. Heat-treatment gives it incredible strength and in case of accidents, it will shatter into small, blunt pieces instead of sharp shards. It finds application in doors, near-floor windows, and large glass panels. The triple layer of glass means that it is harder to break in, so you can have peace of mind and a sound sleep both together if you have this in your bedroom window.
Thermal breakA type of metal frame that incorporates an insulating material of low thermal conductivity located between the inner and outer parts of the frame in order to reduce the rate of heat loss. Primary sealA butyl-based sealant applied to the edges of the space bar during assembly into double-glazed units, to ensure a watertight and airtight seal around the perimeter of the unit. Low-E glassLow-emission glass (Low-E) is a clear glass, it has a microscopically-thin coating of metal oxide. This allows the sun’s heat and light to pass trough the glass into the building. At the same time it blocks heat from leaving the room, reducing heat loss considerably. Low Emissivity (Low-E) CoatingsIs a microscopically-thin coating of metal oxide.
An insulated glass unit (IGU) combines multiple glass panes into a single unit system, for example a window. Double glazed units are made of two sheets of glass with a cavity between them that is generally 4-20 mm which creates an insulating barrier. IGUs help combat heat loss, making a building warmer, quieter and cheaper to run.These are prefabricated panels fitted into a single planar system. Our uPVC and Wooden windows have all been independently tested by the British Fenestration Rating Council (BFCR). When choosing your new double glazed windows, it’s important to know your options for energy efficiency. Choose from uPVC, wooden, or aluminium double glazed windows, each offering excellent energy efficiency and durability.

Low-E glass has an invisible coating that dramatically reduces heat transfer and reflects interior heat into the room. Low-E glass can make a big difference to a window’s thermal performance, whether it’s double or triple glazed. All VELFAC windows and doors are double glazed as standard, and deliver impressive thermal and acoustic insulation, which can be further improved with triple glazing. This style of secondary glazing is arguably the best solution in many cases, and requires fitting an internal secondary window behind your existing single glazed window.
We use only the highest grade, strongest and most durable aluminium to produce secondary glazing units of unparalleled quality. They are all crafted and engineered at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Sheffield, incorporating best-of-British workmanship. Windows are the biggest cause of heat loss in residential buildings, with period properties having the highest percentage of single glazing in the country.

Maximising energy efficiency efforts is essential within your business so double-glazed windows can help keep energy costs down. Double glazing works to regulate the temperatures inside your building, providing a natural balance of both cooling and insulating benefits, depending on the season. Double-glazing has soundproofing properties which is ideal for premises on busy high streets. The double-layered glass, alongside the soundproofing gases suspended in between, offers impressive noise reduction benefits.
Secondary glazing is the process of adding an insulating layer of glass or plastic inside existing windows to improve both thermal and sound insulation. Unlike double glazing, where two panes are built into a single unit, secondary glazing involves a separate pane that can be removed, creating a flexible and effective solution for enhancing window performance. This is especially beneficial in period properties where retaining the original window structure is preferred. Secondary glazing offers key features like energy efficiency and noise reduction, providing a cost-effective upgrade to traditional single glazing. Everest double glazed windows are constructed from a frame and a glazed unit featuring an insulating layer of Argon gas sandwiched between two panes of glass.

Energy-saving glass is even more efficient than standard double-glazing units with thermal spacer bars acting as a better insulator than standard aluminium bars. Explore hundreds of design options whether you’re upgrading an older property or increasing the value of an existing one. Find solutions and your inspiration here – just imagine the possibilities.

Both double and triple glazing feature glass panes set in parallel, with a cavity filled with argon gas to provide insulation. Triple glazing has an additional pane and cavity, offering enhanced insulation. Argon gas is clear, effective, and entirely safe, making it ideal for insulating your home. The Extreme Magnetic Secondary Glazing kit here at The Plastic People is as quick and easy to fit as our popular Standard Secondary Glazing kits, but designed to be even stronger! Single glazing, on its own, won't insulate to a degree as a double or triple-glazed model.
