Double-glazed windows

What is double glazing?

Double glazing consists of two glass panes divided apart by argon gas or air. This design creates an insulating barrier that keeps your house warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Major benefits include:

• Improved Energy Efficiency: Double glazing significantly reduces heat loss, therefore reducing energy use and offering a more consistent indoor temperature. This is a quite low-cost approach for improving the insulation of your house.
• Noise Reduction: The layer of insulation between the two glass panes lowers outside noise, therefore creating a more peaceful living environment.
• Less Condensation: Double glazing keeps the glass’s inside surface warmer, therefore lowering condensation and the related problems with damp and mould.
• Enhanced Security: The additional glass pane provides more protection against break-ins, therefore restricting the access of invaders to your residence.
• Budget Friendly: Commonly chosen double glazing is based on both cost- and performance-wise balance. It offers notable increases in comfort and energy economy even without breaking the budget.
• Usually suitable for most houses, double glazing is adaptable and a common choice for restorations as well as new constructions.

Laminated glass windows: what exactly is it?

Two or more layers of glass bonded together with a plastic interlayer, often polyvinyl butyral (PVB), make laminated glass. This architecture has some unique advantages.

Major Benefits:

• Enhanced Safety: Laminated glass is designed to be more impact-resistant, improving security and safety. In case the glass breaks, the plastic coating holds the pieces together, therefore reducing the risk of injury and enhancing the security against break-in access.
• UV Protection: The plastic interlayer of laminated glass absorbs up to 99% of harmful UV light, therefore protecting the inside of your house from sun-induced fade and damage.
• Sound Insulation: Laminated glass provides reasonable sound insulation, even though it is not as good as triple glazing. It can especially increase comfort and aid in reducing outside noise in crowded areas.
• Improved Security: Laminated glass adds extra security, so it becomes more difficult for invaders to find access. It’s a wonderful solution for households and businesses where safety counts.
• Applications: Laminated glass windows abound in high-rise buildings, businesses, homes in storm-prone areas, and other locations where security and safety rules apply. It also fits well for mixed use with other glazing types to provide more benefits. Generally speaking, laminated glass and triple glazing are more expensive than double glazing. Review your budget and weigh the benefits of every type to select the best fit for your needs.
