Everything You Need To Know About Double Glazing

The double-glazed variety is already a hot favourite in moderate climate areas such as the UK with a large population preferring its use in their homes. This kind of glass reflects a lot of solar rays in summer, preventing overheating of the surface. It also provides good insulating properties and is a good bet for homes in sunny climates or exposed to intense sunlight or large glass façades. This specially coated glass reacts with sunlight to break down dirt, which is then washed away with rainwater.

Condensation manifests when moisture-laden air comes in contact with a cold surface – such as a windowpane. When you boil a kettle, cook food or have a hot shower, the air becomes filled with more moisture than usual and this is why kitchen windows and bathroom mirrors are most steamy. However, the key to reducing noise as much as possible is to disrupt the sound waves and frequencies as they pass through a material. This can be done by combining different thicknesses of glass close together. Sound is an energy that moves in waves, like waves on the sea, by vibrating the molecules of the air and objects it comes in contact with. When sound waves hit glass, the glass vibrates at the sound wave frequency and transmits the vibration to the air molecules on the other side of the glass.

We apply the sealant in a molten state so that it flexes if the unit does and keeps the unit airtight. Sunlight produces short wave infrared radiation – this is what warms objects in the sunshine. The short waves are absorbed by glass from the outside and the energy becomes re-radiated from the inside of the glass as long-wave infrared. Internal condensation happens when the seals on the sealed unit begin to fail and more moisture is drawn into the unit. The desiccant becomes saturated and can no longer hold moisture and as a result, condensation forms inside the unit. As the sound wave travels, dense objects absorb the energy which reduces the frequency of the waves as it passes through.

Secondary glazing traps this water in the void, which can cause condensation. Therefore when installing CosyGlazing, it is advisable to keep putty and paintwork in good condition. It’s a unique secondary glazing system developed and tested over many years that is elegant, effective and unobtrusive.
