Choosing between double and triple glazing depends on factors like your home’s insulation level, environmental impact, and budget.
From a business perspective, double glazing offers many benefits from cost saving to improved security measures and works towards maintaining a comfortable working environment. A spacer bar maintains the gap between the panes and is usually made from aluminium or plastic with low heat conductivity properties. Energy-saving glass helps reduce heat loss but it can be more expensive to install. Founded in 1884, George Barnsdale is a family run business manufacturing high-performance timber windows and doors in Donington, Lincolnshire and offering a nationwide project management and installation service. The extra layer of protection offered by secondary glazing ensures the heat remains firmly within your home. Our solutions reduce heat loss by up to 60% and improves your carbon footprint.
This special coating allows the sun’s heat and light to pass trough the glass into the building. KryptonA gas used in insulating glass to improve thermal performance of the unit. Gas fillA process in which argon or krypton or xenon is filled into the cavity of insulating glass to improve thermal performance. You can easily order your made to measure secondary glazing, including all necessary materials for installation.
Understanding the construction of modern windows can help make this decision easier. This lower U-value target is easily met by triple glazing but not by double glazing. As a result, homeowners are already starting to choose triple glazing for their homes, a trend which will accelerate as we get closer to the 2025 deadline. In 2025, the UK government will introduce a Future Homes Standard for new build homes to be future-proofed with low carbon heating and world leading levels of energy efficiency.
With the UK’s commitment to reach net zero by 2050, our passion for creating bespoke sustainable solutions for our customers has never been greater. Our products help raise energy efficiency of buildings and their lasting sustainability. Glazing with a self-cleaning coating uses UV light and rain to actively break down dirt that builds up on the surface of the glass so windows stay cleaner for longer. Thermally broken rooflights have insulation between the inner and outer frames, reducing heat loss and preventing condensation, while allowing natural light into a building.
However, some metal or leaded windows may require the input of metal/leaded window specialists. We install a specially modified catch/stay that can accommodate the CosyGlazing units on the window. You will still be able to open and close the windows as usual with our award-winning system.
Depending on the glaze, this can be the most important factor to getting the results you want. Clear glazes generally benefit from being thin to limit cloudiness and bubbles. Opaque glazes of a single colour can be thick or thin depending on how much you want the clay to show through. If you apply these too thinly you probably won’t get the colour or movement you’re looking for.

Whether you want to purchase the panels and try and install them yourself, or have an experienced glazier install them for you (what we would recommend), the choice is yours. Secondary glazing involves installing another glass layer behind an existing single glazed window. While secondary glazing can certainly be a permanent solution, it’s often used as a temporary measure. The insulating effect of low-E glass and double glazing can reduce your energy bills each year.
