  1. Why use Triple Glazed Windows

  2. Triple Glazed windows are increasingly becoming popular among windows suppliers, especially those who deal with aluminium. However, many modern homeowners still have concerns about using them.

  3. What is a Triple Glazed Window? As the name implies, a triple glazed window comprises three layers of glass contained in a secure frame. There is an air pocket or inert gas contained in between each glass panel. An example of such inert gas is argon, which serves as an insulator for heat and noise. However, in some instances, a triple glazed window may contain two panes of glass with a low-emissivity.

  4. Which is Better, Triple Glazing or Double Glazing? The fastest and easiest way to compare the energy efficiency of these windows is to make use of the U-value measurement. U-value is the rate at which heat is transferred through a material, divided by the difference in temperature across the structure. This measurement is the same we use for roofs, walls, and floors. Generally, a single glazed window has a U-value above 5. Previously, double glazed windows used to have a U-values above 3. However, building regulations now stipulate that all windows should possess a U-value that does not exceed 1.6. The Passivhaus Standard states that triple glazed windows should have a U-value not exceeding 0.8. Some suppliers, however, claim that the U-value of their windows is exactly 0.5.

  5. What is the Cost of Triple Glazing? For a long time, many people have perceived triple glazed windows to be almost twice the price of double glazed windows. However, in reality, they cost only about 25% to 30% more than double glazed windows. With Passivhaus designs, energy bills may be as low as 120 pounds per year, which is more than sufficient to recover the initial cost over time. If you want to cut costs, you could install a combination of double and triple glazing in your building. Also, installing insulated hollow frames will improve the performance of the glazing, which will save you money in the long-run.
