What is glazing?

Glazing refers to the part of a wall or window made from glass. In modern window manufacturing and mounting, only multi-layered insulating glass is used. This means two or more panes are bonded above spacers with putty. The insulating glass is surrounded by a secondary seal to create laminated insulating glass edge. 

  • Separate glass panes usually have a thickness of 4mm, but they can also have 5, 6 or 8mm depending on their purpose

  • The larger they get, the thicker they have to be made

  • You can choose to have double or triple glazing

What is double glazing?

Double-glazing is a window consisting of two panes of glass separated by a layer of trapped argon gas. The layer of argon gas has 67% of thermal conductivity of air, making it a poor conductor of heat, thus keeping warm air trapped inside your home and helping improve energy efficiency.

This extra pane of glass also acts as a secondary barrier to noise, helping keep your home nice and quiet, and strengthens the window to improve security.

 

How does double glazing work?

Double glazing uses two panes of glass separated by a layer of argon gas to keep your home more energy efficient and reduce sound. The argon gas is a poor heat conductor and therefore keeps warm air from escaping, while the second pane of glass acts as a barrier to noise.

Keep out noise

While it won’t completely block out all noise, installing double glazing can significantly reduce the noise you hear from outside. The amount of noise the windows blocks out can depend on factors, such as vent size and the age of the windows.

Reduce your bills and energy usage

If you’re replacing older units, it'll save energy and therefore money on your bills. You can calculate the amount you might save on your energy bills using the Glass and Glazing Federation’s energy calculator(➚). As an example, a detached house with 23.7m² of windows and electric heating upgrading from single glazed wooden windows to A-rated casement windows could save £325.26 a year.
