Triple glazed windows provide you with an extra layer of environmental protection for your property. Benefits include energy efficiency, noise reduction and durability that will stand the test of time.
Triple glazing is similar to double glazing, but it has an extra pane of glass within the sealed unit. The triple glazing we offer is high-quality, and all of our triple glazed windows are available in UPVC or timber – whatever you require.
We also offer a speedy and professional installation service. If you are ready to install your new or replacement triple glazing be sure to contact us for an obligation-free quote.
Why You Need Triple Glazing
Triple glazed windows have become synonymous with energy efficiency, improving window insulation by a further 50%. Triple glazing provides your home or commercial property with the highest-rated windows you can get.
They are so efficient because triple glazed windows have three layers of glass, with two gas-filled cavities between each of the layers. The space between each of the panes of glass is filled with argon gas, making it hard for heat to escape and lowering the chance of cold entering your home.
The triple glazed windows we provide have the following benefits:
- Soundproof options: Layers of glass and argon gas help prevent soundwaves from penetrating the glazing. Double and triple glazed acoustic windows use an extra plastic interlayer to improve noise reduction further.
- Less condensation: There is little to no condensation using triple glazed windows, which helps reduce humidity in a building and can help alleviate the problems of damp.
- Cost savings: All of our windows have a competitive cost, and have other cost benefits from being energy efficient. Less heat loss in winter means you have to use fewer utilities and will have lower heating bills.
With us, you can upgrade your windows to triple glazing even if your home is in a conservation area. You can also put triple glazing on a flat roof. A triple glazed window on a flat roof works just as well as other windows.
Triple glazing fits well with many frame materials and styles including UPVC windows, casement windows, sliding sash windows and tilt and turn windows, depending on the style of your current windows and property.
Types of Triple Glazed Windows
Many people do not realise that triple glazed windows significantly increase the thickness of your windows. However, ordinary houses can still accommodate triple glazed windows into their walls.
Triple glazed windows are manufactured in a very controlled environment. The glass panels are carefully inserted into the chosen frame and then sealed to prevent leaks from occurring before adding the argon gas.
Although colder countries have been using triple glazing for decades, it is a fantastic insulator for all homes. The efficiency of triple glazing increases depending on the treatments and type of glass that you choose.
The two main types of glass we use in our triple glazed windows include the following:
Low iron glass
The most common type of glass we use in our triple glazed windows is low iron glass. This glass does not have a blue and green tinge as seen in most standard panels. Instead, it appears clearer and whiter. The clearness of the glass panes allows for plenty of light to pass through the window into your home.
Low E-glass
Low-E, or low emissivity, glass is coated in a microscopic film that reflects infrared energy or heat. The glass then reflects the heat into the room rather than letting it escape outside, which ensures that any heat generated inside the property remains there, keeping your home warm and comfortable.
Do You Need Planning Permission for Triple Glazing?
Triple glazed windows can improve your home’s energy efficiency. As a result, councils are usually quite amenable to installing these types of windows without causing much fuss or hassle to homeowners.
If you live in a listed building or conservation area, it is unlikely you will need planning permission for the installation of triple glazing. Structurally, the thickness and weight of triple glazed windows are hardly ever an issue.
The only reason you may require planning permission is if the installation of your windows affects the character of your property. If you are unsure, we can offer you any advice you may need on this issue before installation.
