Window performance has an integral part to play in the level of thermal efficiency provided in the home, something that people have become more conscious of as energy costs have continued to rise at a rapid rate.
If your existing windows allow in a noticeable amount of outdoor air, leaving your property feeling cold and draughty, then it’s an obvious sign that they need replacing. The generally accepted norm is to have a set of double glazed windows fitted which as technology has advanced, have become better and better at supplying an exceptional amount of insulation. But, nowadays there is a further solution and one that provides an even greater standard of efficiency; triple glazing.
There’s no denying the fact that for the extra pane of glass you get in triple glazing, you have to pay more than you would for just two panes of glass. However, it’s the additional piece of glass that makes all the difference and can drive down energy usage to an even lower level. It has its other benefits too.
There’s nothing more annoying than being disturbed by passing traffic or boisterous passers-by when all you seek is a little bit of peace and quiet indoors. Triple glazing is fantastic when it comes to noise reduction due to its outstanding acoustic properties so if external noise is driving you up the wall it’s a very sound investment to make.
Because the frame has to accommodate three panes of glass, as opposed to just two, the frames are reinforced and therefore incredibly strong which is useful in terms of security, giving you the peace of mind you need when leaving your home unoccupied.
To find out more about triple glazing or to see it in person, visit our High Wycombe showroom where we have examples and corner samples showing a cross section through the UPVC profile and 36mm wide triple glazed sealed unit on display.
