To address this, every sealed unit is built with crystalline desiccant (like what you find in a new bag or shoes) contained in the spacer bar. The desiccant draws the moisture out of the air gap and keeps the internal space between the panes dry. Two panes of glass are sealed in a unit (IGU) separated by a spacer bar. Commercially, double glazing was 'invented' in the US in 1930 by a CD Haven and this was later patented as 'Thermopane' by an Ohio glass company. After this, in the 50s, double glazing began to filter into the homes of Americans. The IGU comprises of two sheets of glass separated by a spacer bar to create an air gap which is filled with an insulating gas.

This is likely to lead to triple glazing becoming the norm in most windows for new buildings or retro fits that want to achieve the highest performance. The Government has outlined its plans to deliver a "zero carbon ready" building strategy through its Future Buildings Standard. It aims to ensure that no new buildings from 2025 will require further retrofitting, with an uplift in energy efficiency standards, improved ventilation and requirements to mitigate overheating in residential buildings. A start was made on this last year with the changes to building regs and parts F, L and O which we have covered in previous blogs . The Future Buildings Standard which is looming over the horizon in 2025 is likely to mean a big increase in the use of triple glazing to meet the lower U-values that will be required.

Double and triple glazing vary when it comes to design, function and performance. Double glazing is a sealed unit, window repair 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.
