TRIPLE GLAZING SYSTEM
We have been continuing our activities for many years by prioritizing customer satisfaction.
TRIPLE GLAZING SYSTEM
Triple Glazing System is made up of three panes of glass instead of one or two. The cavity between each panes of glass is usually filled with an inert gas – such as argon or air. Together with the extra pane, this can help to reduce noise transmission and increase energy efficiency
Unlike single or double glazing, triple glazing contains three panes of glass, adding an extra of glass over what double glazing offers. The idea is that the additional pane of glass will help to reduce noise, as well as help to keep your home warmer by keeping heat trapped inside the property. Like with other glazed windows, there is an inert gas, such as Argon gas, inserted in the air gaps between the panes.

Benefits of triple glazing
The benefits of triple glazing are similar to that of double glazing, but importantly, you should expect the following benefits from triple glazed windows:
- Increased energy performance of your home (though only a minor impact)
- Noise reduction by helping to soundproof your home
- Warmer home
- Slightly more secure as it’s harder to break
- Reduced condensation on windows
Is triple glazing more energy efficient than double glazing?
In short, yes. Triple glazing is more energy efficient than double glazing. This is thanks to that additional pane of glass, which acts as an extra layer of insulation.
But let’s look at how much more energy efficient they are than their double glazing counterparts.
U-Value of triple glazing
The ‘U-Value’ is a measurement used in the glazing industry to calculate how effective the product is at insulating heat.
Research has shown that triple glazing has a better U-Value than double glazing, but the difference between triple glazing and double glazing isn’t as large of a jump as going from single glazing to double glazing.
Making the home more soundproof
As triple glazing has an additional pane of glass, and therefore an addition section filled with Argon gas, a triple glazed window can help to soundproof your home.
Therefore, if you live on a busy main road, triple glazing might be a worthwhile consideration in order to reduce outside noise, and keep your home peaceful.
For those living on a quieter street, this is not likely to be of much benefit, unless you live in a particularly noisy household and are looking to reduce the amount of sound that leaves your home, so that you don’t disturb others.
Reducing condensation
As we have touched on a previous article on how triple glazed windows can help reduce condensation, it is a benefit of triple glazing.
The additional pane of glass means that cold air has further to travel, thereby reducing the chances of condensation forming. So if condensation is a problem in your property, triple glazing may be the solution.
