Double Glazed Windows: Creating an Energy Efficiency, Quieter Home

Double glazed windows are constructed from a frame and a glazed unit featuring an insulating layer of Argon gas sandwiched between two panes of glass. The primary  double glazing benefit is thermal insulation – to retain heat in a room whilst stopping cold air entering from outside to make the room more energy efficient. The deeper the unit, the more insulating the glazed unit is, ROPO double glazed units have a unit depth of 26 mm.

Double glazing is made from two panes of glass that are separated by a layer of air or gas and then sealed. They are designed to provide an even better barrier against outside temperatures. The two layers of glass separated by a gap act as insulation by reducing conduction. The use of a gas, most often argon, between the layers of glass is considered to be a better insulator than those with just a sealed pocket of air. Gases like argon allow less heat to escape and less cold to enter because they have a higher density.

Improved energy efficiency: Double glazed offers better thermal insulation which leads to higher energy efficiency in homes. This can significantly reduce heating bills.

Noise reduction: The thicker glass allows for better noise reduction and lets you sleep easier at night.

Improved security: Thicker glass also means better durability and harder-to-break windows. Single panes can be flimsier in comparison.

Increased home value: Double glazed windows increase the value of a home as they enhance its energy efficiency. This is a good draw for potential buyers.

Reduced condensation: Double glazed windows allow less condensation into homes and the sealed structure prevents temperature drops from the condensation.

Variety of styles: As it has become the standard for most houses, double glazed windows are available in every window style available.

Double glazed windows and doors work by creating an additional layer of insulating protection for your home. As described above, the two glass panes act as a barrier for noise and temperature transfers. The insulating gas, or air, between the glass helps to trap the air and impending temperature attempting to enter your home, acting as a protective layer between your home and the weather outside. This results in less heat entering your home in summer, and escaping your home in winter! In turn, you won’t need to run your air conditioning or heating as often, or as intensely, lowering your energy consumption and energy bills.

A double glazed units has 2 panes of glass and 4 faces. In an individual window unit, different types of glass can be used and by combining these, we can create specific windows and doors to meet different needs, including clear glass, tinted glass, laminated glass, low e glass, reflective glass, low-iron glass, one way glass, etc.

Double glazing represents a smart choice for homeowners, offering a blend of energy efficiency, noise reduction, and enhanced comfort. While the initial investment is higher than traditional single glazing, the long-term benefits in energy savings and improved living conditions make double glazed windows and doors a worthwhile addition to any home. Considering the climate, the energy savings, and the added comfort, investing in double glazing emerges not just as a luxury, but a necessity for the modern homeowner.
