Double Glazing

What is double glazing?

How does double glazing work?

Double glazing is made up of 2 panes of glass within a sealed unit separated by a spacer bar. The gap between the panes is injected with argon gas. Argon gas shares many properties with oxygen; however, it is far more viscous. The viscosity of a gas can be thought of as a measure of its resistance to flow, for example, heat flows far less easily through argon than it does oxygen.

Argon gas slows and prevents heat transfer from inside to outside your home and vice versa. This makes double glazed windows extremely energy efficient, keeping your home at a comfortable temperature through every season.

Low-E glazing

What is Low-E glass?

We use Low-E glazing as standard in all of our installations, but what is Low-E glass and what benefits does it have to you as a homeowner?

Low-E glass has enabled the glazing industry to innovate and develop products that make our homes and buildings more comfortable, energy efficient, and full of natural light. Low E means ‘Low Emissivity’. Emissivity is defined as the amount of radiation emitted or absorbed from a surface.

The main difference between a Low E glass and an ordinary glass is that Low E glass has a very thin coating applied to one side of the glass. This enables a reduction in the transfer of heat or cold through the glass. Think of it as an invisible insulation barrier for your windows.

What are the benefits of Low-E glass?

• A Low-E coating will keep unwanted UV rays out of your home. These harmful rays can damage your furniture through fading and discolouring over time.
• It helps regulate the temperature of your home and keeps rooms at a comfortable temperature
• Low-E coated windows can help reduce the formation of condensation
• Low-E coated windows are more energy efficient and can help save you money on your energy bills
