Triple Glazing Windows

Triple Glazing Windows are Setting the Benchmark for Saving on Energy Bills and Lowering Carbon Emissions at the Same Time.

Lowering Carbon Emissions with Triple glazing Edinburgh

Triple glazing is beginning to be more widely used in the UK and is soon expected to rival double glazing in popularity; this is because of the benefits that the product offers. Many triple glazing facts are related to what benefits triple glazing provides, this is usually in comparison to double glazing as that is the closest thing on the market and is widely used in the UK. The obvious benefit of triple glazing is the extra sheet of glass it has over double glazing. This doesn’t just act as an extra piece of glass but as extra insulation and noise reduction and security.

Windows in the home are measured for energy efficiency this is because a quarter of household heat is lost through the windows. Heat loss is measured in what is known as U- value, which measures how fast (or slow) the heat comes through the glass and frame. The U-value results show just how much a person can benefit from triple glazing. Single glazed units generally have a U-value rating of 5.6 and double glazed a rating of 2.8; triple glazing offers a U- Value of 0.8.

The extra sheet of glass also bring with it an extra air gap, the air gap is the space between two panes of glass and is filled with an inert gas of either argon or krypton, both these gases proves a sheet of insulation which not only reduces heat loss but also reduce noise making life more comfortable for people in busy areas. Triple glazing also saves you up to 75% on heating bills.

Triple glazing is made up of three sheets of glass each separated by air gaps. The air gaps act as the insulating wall. Some companies use and inert gas to fill the air gap to add further insulation, while other just allow the dry air to be the insulator. Triple glazing statistics can show that inert gas acts as a better insulator than air. The two kinds of gases used are argon and krypton, argon is popular because it is cheap to purchase and use, argon also is around a 33% better insulator than air. Krypton gas is generally reserved for high specification triple glazing units and is more expensive to use, the extra expensive does bring along extra insulation with Krypton being a 50% better insulator than air.
