Latest "double glazing installation" Information

Fitting double-glazing in replacement windows will provide some sound insulation. However if your primary motivation for fitting double-glazing is to reduce sound then secondary glazing, where you fit a new single glazed frame in front of the existing (prime) window frame, will be better. The greater the "air gap" the better the sound insulation.

What is the difference between double-glazing and secondary glazing? Double-glazing usually consists of two panes of glass with a gap of about 16 mm between them. The panes are vacuum sealed into a single unit that is fitted into the window frame. Secondary glazing is an independent system of windows fitted to the inner window frame. The gap between the outer and inner windows is consequently much wider than in sealed double-glazed units. The secondary frames are aligned with the external window frames, to cause the least possible visual disruption.

OFT imposes fines for double glazing price fixing cartel but grants leniency to whistle-blowers. The OFT has concluded that five companies operating in the double glazing product market have been party to an overall price fixing arrangement where a number of sub-agreements or concerted practices were held to form part of a common plan. Three of the parties benefited from the OFT's leniency programme for having acted as whistle-blowers.

PRACTICAL STUDIO SOUNDPROOFING: If you don't have double glazing, your windows will almost certainly be the biggest cause of sound leakage. Even double-glazed units are of limited use, and will leak far more sound than the surrounding walls, so additional internal glazing behind the original windows is still strongly recommended

Is it possible to repair units that have misted up, or need to be replaced altogether? Can the glass which has misted up be used again, or does it become useless? Once the glass unit has broken down (misted up) it is no longer any use, you can not repair it. it needs to be replace with a new unit.
