Double glazing verse single glazed windows
Single glazed windows are a single panel of glass fitted into timber or aluminium frames the glass can vary in thickness from 3mm to 6mm and in some cases glass not much thicker than picture frame glass,over time the glass can become brittle and can break easily, this is dangerous especially with thiner glass,often safety glass is not used in doors .also problems with insulation can occur, weeping windows,mould and dampness are common with single glazed windows.
Double glazed units are 2 panels of glass held together by a sealed spacer bar in the middle ,this creates an insulated air gap between the glass,gas is often fill inside the unit giving more insulation. Double glazed units are usally between 15 and 26mm thick. They can be made up with different types of glass to suit your needs.if sound is a priority then laminate glass is used,if heat retention is required then low energy glass can be used to better improve insulation or toughened safety glass for greater security.
Double glazing can create a warmer dryer home in winter, cooler in summer, provide less noise, more security and no more weepy windows.
