Double Glazing, Conservatories

This includes the glass, the frame and everything that goes into windows. The average noise level inside a home is thought to be approximately 40 dB. With humans able to hear sounds up to 140dB, soundproof windows are essential to keep your home environment as quiet and peaceful as possible. There are many outside sounds that can make their way into your property, including traffic sounds, conversations between pedestrians, building work and sirens. Because our glazing fits the existing timber & metal frames, we don’t alter the fine detailing of your glazing bars. The findings, from Confusedaboutenergy.co.uk, paint an illuminating picture, about how the effectiveness of double glazing can vary dramatically.

The secondary panel will have its own frame and will be sealed around the edges for better thermal efficiency. Argon gas has around a 34% lower thermal conductivity level than air because it is denser so it acts as a better insulator. When it’s used between the panes it’s even harder for heat to escape through double-glazed windows, further improving thermal efficiency. It is also an excellent insulator of heat and is a non-flammable and ‘non-reactive’ gas.

Explore the differences between double and triple glazing to decide which is right for your home. Perfect for wide multi-pane windows that have vertical bars, such as casement windows. Panels slide to give easy access to the existing window for ventilation and can be removed for cleaning. We'll calculate pricing to upgrade any or all of your windows, including our optional installation service.

Secondary glazing, although cheaper, timber vs aluminium frames is generally not as effective at keeping your home warm. It also doesn’t prevent condensation from building up nor add to your property’s security. Whereas in the past windows were generally single glazed consisting of just a single layer of glass, today there are many different options for glazing. Yes, secondary glazing can significantly improve noise reduction in a home. By adding a second pane of glass to existing windows, secondary glazing creates an extra barrier that can effectively block external noise. A gap of around 100–150 mm between panes is optimal for soundproofing, as it can dampen a wider range of sound frequencies.
