GLRE Commercial Glazing Solutions

Lifting glass by hand puts unnecessary stress on the pane that can lead to warping and visual defects. We assemble our units mechanically so that panes are lifted evenly using suction cups to ensure no part of the glass is placed under stress to maintain integrity and glazing company quality. We construct our units by a robot in an Argon filled chamber to ensure the only thing in our sealed unit is Argon. Other companies drill two holes into the frame and hand pump the Argon which can leave the unit filled with a mixture of air and Argon. By not drilling the frame we maintain the structural integrity and airtight seal of the frame. In the same way, when the warm air from the room meets the internal pane of glass the Argon gas slows the transfer of the warmth from the inside out.

As a noble (replace or repair windows inert) gas, argon does not react in the presence of a flame or heat. Over 20% of all heat loss escapes via your windows so by keeping warm air in, double-glazing improves your property insulation. This results in fewer draughts and cheaper heating bills as you may not need to heat your home as much as you would if you only had single-glazed windows. Double-glazed windows have progressed from a ‘nice-to-have’ to an essential feature in your home.

While this is far from an exhaustive list, what we hope it highlights is that double glazing in and of itself isn’t an out-of-the-box product, it’s a technique, and the result of a specific manufacturing method. All three glass packages in the Planitherm range – Energy Standard, Comfort and Comfort Plus – can be used in either double or triple glazing applications. The section of the glazed units should be no greater than 12mm (two layers of glass + cavity). Slim profile double glazing will cost in the region of £600 to £800 to install in an average 6-over-6 sash window. Dependant on the cavity size, glass type and choice of gas fill typical thermal transmittance values between 2.0 and 1.6 W/ SqM/K can be achieved.
