We use plexiglass – a modern, lightweight equivalent to glass that’s used in the aeronautical industry – to provide a second layer to your period windows. Typically, double glazing windows have a lifespan of 20 years minimum, but they can last as long as 50 years. Their longevity depends on several factors, including the quality of the manufacture, the construction material, and how well they’ve been maintained. Triple glazing provides superior insulation, particularly suited for shaded areas where heat retention is key.

Secondary glazing is the process of adding an insulating layer of glass or plastic inside existing windows to improve both thermal and sound insulation. Unlike double glazing, where two panes are built into a single unit, secondary glazing involves a separate pane that can be removed, creating a flexible and effective solution for enhancing window performance. This is especially beneficial in period properties where retaining the original broken window repair structure is preferred. Secondary glazing offers key features like energy efficiency and noise reduction, providing a cost-effective upgrade to traditional single glazing. Everest double glazed windows are constructed from a frame and a glazed unit featuring an insulating layer of Argon gas sandwiched between two panes of glass.
Very simply, triple glazing is an extra pane of glass extension added to the two used in double glazing but the benefits can be great. Up to now, many of our clients have opted for triple glazing in areas where they require high acoustic performance, with this comes much better thermal performance, saving money on fuel bills. In tackling both of these processes simultaneously, double glazing works to eliminate heat transfer. It isn’t 100% effective by any means, but the differences between single and double glazed homes are fairly noticeable. The biggest benefit that double glazing offers, and the thing for which it was originally conceived, is to reduce heat loss in an interior space. Double glazing prevents as much heat from escaping a property, and limits the amount of draft that can enter through the seams.
