When the glazing has a single pane of glass it is called single glazing; double-glazed windows have two glass panes separated by an air gap of an inert gas like argon or krypton. The highest multiple of panes is usually the triple-glazed model with three panes each separated from the other with an inert gas layer. The more panes there are, the more efficient the performance is with respect to energy efficiency, noise reduction, and security. The manufacturing process for double glazed windows is quite straightforward; each unit is created by cutting two panes of glass according to set measurements.

Aside from things like electronically automated windows and doors, double glazing offers a range of passive benefits to a property. Despite this unfair bad press, double glazing has become industry standard technology, and it offers a lot of benefits – but it can also be a little confusing. When you’re considering upgrading your windows or other glass installations, or extending your property, it can help to understand what double glazing is all about.

This includes the glass, the frame and everything that goes into windows. The average noise level inside a home is thought to be approximately 40 dB. With humans able to hear sounds up to 140dB, soundproof windows are essential to keep your home environment as quiet and peaceful as possible. There are many outside sounds that can make their way into your property, including traffic sounds, conversations between pedestrians, building work and sirens. Because our glazing fits the existing timber & metal frames, we don’t alter the fine detailing of your glazing bars. The findings, from Confusedaboutenergy.co.uk, paint an illuminating picture, about how the effectiveness of double glazing can vary dramatically.

Electrochromic glassIt works by passing low-voltage electrical charges across a microscopically-thin coating on the glass surface, activating a electrochromic layer which changes colour from clear to dark. EdgeworkA process consisting of polishing or abrading-scraping the edge of the glazing surface. Dry GlazingA glazing process which does not use chemical compounds, only dry, mechanical fixings. CuttingA process in which glass is trimmed, also for decorative purposes. CoatingA thin layer or covering which changes the basic composition of glass.

MasticAny of a wide variety of waterproof materials, not limited to sealants. Insulating StripA material used to protect the edges of the glass from rigid contact with non-resilient. Hardcoat Low EHard coat glass is created by pouring melted tin on top of a sheet of glass. Face PuttyThis is the sloping edge of putty from the glass to the frame.
