Which glass type should I choose?
Choosing the right double glazing will make a dramatic difference to the comfort of your home and your power bill.
Double glazing comprises two panes of glass, an outer and inner glass pane separated by an insulating space filled with air or argon gas. 4mm clear glass with a 12mm air gap is our most commonly used insulated glass unit (IGU). Higher insulation performance is made achievable with the use of glass type, glass thickness and gas.
Double glazing can help insulate against extreme temperatures, fill your home with natural light while reducing glare; and they can reduce noise levels inside. Double glazing provides all these benefits, and more. In addition, double glazed windows help reduce the likelihood of condensation, which will keep your home drier and healthier, all year round.
