The Advantages Of Triple Glazing - Albany Glass

THE ADVANTAGES OF TRIPLE GLAZING

Double glazing is often the first solution that comes to mind when it we think of enhancing energy efficiency and reducing heat loss in homes.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Triple glazing uses three panes of glass instead of the traditional two used in double glazing. The panes are separated using a spacer bar and sealed into a triple glazing unit using a hot melt adhesive. The space between the panes is injected with air or gas with insulating properties, such as argon, to increase the unit’s thermal efficiency and heat retention.

THE BENEFITS OF TRIPLE GLAZING

Any glazing company will confirm that most of the heat loss in homes occurs through thermally inefficient windows. Triple glazing can be a more effective way to lower energy bills and keep your home warmer in winter than double glazing. It offers improved heat retention, which is advantageous if you want to replace rotten wooden single glazed windows or upgrade your old double glazing. Triple glazing generates less condensation as there is less heat transference between the interior and exterior.

WHY DOUBLE GLAZING IS STILL A GOOD OPTION

Double glazing works the same way as triple glazing, but it only uses two panes of glass. However, double glazing still has many benefits to offer, such as being energy efficient, providing excellent security features, and lower initial costs. The multipoint locking systems used on double-glazed windows guarantee robust security, making it a popular choice.

WHAT IF YOU’VE ONLY JUST UPGRADED YOUR WINDOWS AND DOORS?

If you already have energy-efficient double glazing, triple glazing may not be necessary. Instead, you could opt for secondary glazing to boost your home’s thermal performance, security, and noise reduction. Nevertheless, triple glazing could significantly improve thermal performance and energy efficiency if your home features many windows or bi-folding doors.
