FAQs

Is triple glazed glass worth it?

Triple glazed glass is generally considered worth the investment for homes in colder climates due to its superior thermal insulation properties. It helps in reducing heat loss, leading to lower energy bills and increased comfort during winter. However, the cost and the specific needs of your home should be considered to determine its overall value.

What is the main disadvantage of triple glazing?

The main disadvantage of triple glazing is its higher cost compared to double glazing. Additionally, its increased weight might require stronger framing materials. In some cases, it may not provide a proportional increase in thermal performance or noise reduction, depending on the existing insulation and window quality.

Which is better, double glazing or triple glazing?

Triple glazing is better for thermal insulation and noise reduction, especially in colder climates. However, double glazing might be more cost-effective while still providing significant improvements in energy efficiency and noise reduction compared to single glazing. The choice depends on your specific needs, climate, and budget.

Is it worth changing from double glazing to triple glazing?

Upgrading from double to triple glazing can be worth it for enhanced thermal performance and noise reduction, particularly in extremely cold regions. However, the decision should be based on a cost-benefit analysis considering the existing insulation, window condition, and climate.

Does triple glazing keep heat out in summer?

Yes, triple glazing can help keep heat out in summer by reducing solar gain, thanks to the additional pane and coatings that can reflect heat. This leads to a cooler interior and potential savings on air conditioning.

What are the best windows to block traffic noise?

To block traffic noise effectively, windows need to be carefully chosen based on their design, materials, and installation. The best windows for this purpose typically combine several features to maximise sound insulation:

  1. Triple Glazing: Triple-glazed windows, with three layers of glass and two air gaps, offer superior noise reduction compared to single or double glazing. The air or inert gas (like argon or krypton) between the panes acts as an additional barrier to sound.

  1. Laminated Glass: Windows that incorporate laminated glass are especially effective at blocking noise. Laminated glass consists of two or more glass panes bonded together with a layer of PVB (polyvinyl butyral) or EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate). This interlayer is a critical component for sound reduction as it dampens vibrations and reduces the transmission of noise through the window.

  2. Thick Glass: The thickness of the glass panes also plays a significant role in sound insulation. A combination of glass panes of different thicknesses within the same window unit can disrupt sound waves more effectively, reducing the passage of noise.

  3. Tight Seals and Proper Installation: Ensuring that windows are correctly installed and sealed is vital for blocking noise. Even the best-insulated window can allow sound to penetrate if there are gaps in the installation. Secondary glazing, which involves installing an additional layer of glass inside the existing window, can also improve sound insulation significantly by creating another barrier to sound.

  4. Specialty Acoustic Windows: Some manufacturers offer windows specifically designed for acoustic insulation, featuring thicker glass, multiple panes, and special gas fillings. These windows are engineered to reduce various frequencies of sound, particularly the range common to traffic noise.

  5. Frames with Good Insulation: The material and design of the window frame affect its sound-blocking capabilities. Frames made from materials like uPVC, fibreglass, or wood with proper insulation can significantly reduce noise transmission. Metal frames, unless thermally broken, are generally less effective at sound insulation.

Choosing the right combination of features based on the specific level of noise reduction needed and the budget available will yield the best results in blocking traffic noise. Consulting with a professional installer or a company specialising in acoustic insulation can provide personalised advice tailored to your situation.

Can you replace double glazed glass with triple glazed?

Yes, it is possible to replace double glazed glass with triple glazed glass, provided the existing frames can support the additional weight and thickness of triple glazing. An assessment by a professional is recommended to ensure compatibility.

How thick is triple glazed glass?

Triple glazed glass units can vary in thickness, generally ranging from around 28mm to 44mm, depending on the glass and gap thickness between the panes.

How long do triple glazed windows last?

Triple glazed windows can last 20 years or more, depending on the quality of the installation, materials, and maintenance. High-quality triple glazed windows can have a lifespan comparable to or slightly longer than double glazed windows due to their robust construction.

How much does triple glazed glass cost?

The cost of triple glazed glass can vary widely based on size, frame material, and additional features like coatings. On average, triple glazed windows can be 10-15% more expensive than double glazed ones.
Here is an accurate price table for triple glazed glass in the UK market involves a wide range of variables, including the dimensions of the windows, the type of frame materials used (uPVC, aluminium, or wood), the quality of the glass, any special coatings or gas fillings between the panes, and installation costs.
