Modern-day double glazing was invented in 1930 in the USA by C D Haven, which he sold to a company in 1941 to manufacture this product considered way ahead of its time. In the UK, double glazing appeared in the 1970s, as an energy-saving, comfort-seeking measure among rising energy costs. Energy-efficient glass and double-glazing is more eco-friendly because it requires less fuel to heat the home. It can be combined with other energy-efficient designs to reduce your carbon footprint on an even greater scale.

Double and triple glazing vary when it comes to design, function and performance. Double glazing is a sealed unit, consisting of two glass panes with a spacer bar installed between the two. The glazing is sealed together into a single unit, with air and insulating gas trapped in the gap between the two panes. In comparison, triple glazing is made up of three glass panes and features two ‘gas and air pockets’ instead of one. It reduces drafts, and it’s a vast step up from single glazing – which involves a single pane of glass alone acting as a barrier between the inside and outside worlds. As anyone with single glazed windows likely knows, during the cold months, these lone panes can act like chilling units inside a home.
