Triple glazing, Why ?




Why You Should Consider Triple Glazing
In the recent past, the concept of triple glazing was only used in colder regions and in a few grand design houses that boasted of the most sophisticated features. Today, however, things have changed and it is becoming popular in many houses across the UK, thanks to the numerous benefits that it offers.

What is Triple Glazing?
While double glazing feature two glass panes separated by thin layer of air, triple glazing uses three panes (instead of one or two) of glass sandwiched together with air gaps in between. Some people may incorporate gases such as argon to increase the performance and efficiency.

What Are The Benefits Of Triple Glazing?
·         Thermal performance: The design of triple glazed glasses allows them to reduce the amount of heat escaping from your house in cold weather and to reduce the amount of heat entering the house during warmer months. They also protect you from harmful solar rays. In a nutshell, they will keep your house cooler during summer and warmer during winter.

·         Noise Reduction: These glasses also deaden exterior noise. This is especially significant for people living close to roads or other noisy areas.

·         Triple glazing also protects your furniture, flooring, and decorations. These glasses are designed to reduce UV transmissions which generally contribute to the fading of your interiors, flooring, and furniture.

·         Triple glazing also reduces carbon emission and therefore suitable for environment conscious individuals

·         Additionally, since triple glazed glasses are warmer, they reduce the chances of interior condensation forming in your windows or composite doors.

Although older triple glazed window models tended to be bulky and a bit challenging to operate, new models have been designed to curb all these challenges. Additionally, today’s triple glazed windows also come with invisible low emissivity coating to improve their performance. So if you are a homeowner looking for further improvement of your windows or composite doors, triple glazing is the way to go.
