Glazing

Double glazing provides improved thermal insulation and noise reduction, due to the air barrier present between the panes. It significantly reduces heat and sound transfer between the inside and outside of the room. Especially favourable for climate such as the UK, it gives you both a good level of insulation for not a lot of money.
Manufactured from sustainable sources, our units are also fully recyclable.

This can help to maintain a comfortable interior environment and save money on energy bills. The transition to internally bead timber windows has been approached cautiously due to concerns about tape failures and moisture seeping into the building's interior. However, most PVC window systems now apply internal glazing as standard, utilizing drain-through sashes and incorporating a drained and vented channel to trap any water that manages to pass the tapes.

Argon gas has a 34% reduced thermal transfer rate to air and slows down the conduction of heat between two differing temperatures. Mitchell & Dickinson has been testing magnetic tape for 15 years with no weakening of magnets. The adhesive is a very high-quality adhesive tape made by TESA which has a very long life. On rare occasions, it has been known to delaminate on specific surfaces which contain high levels of oils (such as linseed oil, for example). All Mitchell & Dickinson installations come with a 5-year guarantee as standard. Mitchell & Dickinson’s policy is always to restore rather than replace in all aspects of its work.

The two panes of glass and the air gap between them work together to reduce the amount of heat that is transferred through the window. This means double glazing helps to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which can result in lower energy bills and increased comfort. • Triple glazing is more robust - While it is difficult to break high quality double glazing, triple glazed windows offer superior strength. The additional pane of glass door installation adds extra strength to the structure and provides more impact protection.

The range is available in a variety of contemporary and traditional designs, each with a modern opaque appearance. With recent insulation requirements for glazing efficiency, the internal pane of the glass can have condensation issues. This is due to the temperature variation between the external and internal environment. Following on from the previous tip, the easiest way to measure how much glaze is being added in a test or on a full piece is to weigh it before and after the application.
