What is double glazing?
Double glazing is two separate panes of glass jioned together by a spacer in the middle and glued together with a sealer to create a complete sealed unit, this creates an air gap in between the 2 panes of glass making the unit insulated, you can also have a thermal spacer bar in between the unit that reduces any cold coming in from the side of the unit.double glazing can be made in various thickness ,depending on the thickness of glass used and thickness of the spacer,the most common being 19 -20 mm,.also many different options available with the glass.
Double glazing provides better insulation for your windows,reduces power consumption, warmer in winter and cozier in summer, it also reduces noise by damping sound waves.
If you are interested I do double glazing retro fit in timber and aluminium windows and offer a free friendly quote, contact Chris 021642428.

'Write for Rights' is timed to celebrate Human Rights Day on 10 December. This is the world’s biggest human rights event, a moment when Amnesty International’s movement of ten million comes together as one to take action and stand up for freedom, justice and equality.
Collective action pressures authorities around the world to bring those responsible for human rights abuses to justice, and free people wrongfully imprisoned.
We'll be gathering as we do every year, to write letters and send messages of support to victims of human rights abuses around the world.
Venue: Friends Meeting House, 30 Nile St, Nelson.
Date: Saturday 7 December, from 2 to 4.30pm
Please bring a small contribution for a shared afternoon tea. Tea and coffee will be provided.
