Uses of double glazed units
 
Heat insulation

Heat insulation has mostly been the reason for the use of double glazing in windows over the years to cut down on heat loss and condensation. However, it is now a legal
requirement that all new replacement windows and new windows in newly-built
homes comply with Building Regulation Document L, meaning double glazed units
with low emissivity glass must be used.

Noise Insulation

Double glazed units also reduce the noise. By using different glass thicknesses, a good reduction can be achieved. As a rule it is advised that the sealed unit is constructed using two different thicknesses of glass ie. 6mm with a 10mm to reduce resonance.

Secondary Glazing

Secondary Glazing is useful for homes that are listed and there is a need to keep the original windows to retain the character of the property. It is also very effective for noise insulation as the gap is far larger between the panes of glass.

Double Glazed Sealed Unit Replacement Service

In addition to the above, we also offer an across the board  glazing and replacement service, from trade insulations to single replacements for domestic customers. Our
company aim is to provide a first class quality service using, what we feel, are the best materials available. Combining top quality brands with highly skilled
