The Best Resources About "double glazing unit"

Double-glazed window: A type of window having two layers (panes or glazing) of glass separated by an air space. Each layer of glass and surrounding air space reradiates and traps some of the heat that passes through thereby increasing the windows resistance to heat loss.

Double glazed unit failure: It is a well-known fact that double glazed units are of significant value in reducing energy loss and offers other benefits such as lower energy consumption, perfect transparency through the reduction of the condensation on the warm air side and the possibility of using larger glazed areas without increasing energy consumption. However, when this type of unit breaks down, most of its characteristics are compromised.

Latest "double glazing unit" Information

Snowglobes are those things you buy from tourist shops with models of e.g the Eiffel Tower or the Parthenon inside. You shake them and it sort of looks like it's snowing. This would be liquid- filled double glazing. Plastic 'snow' would fall through the clear liquid to the bottom and pumped back up the top through a pipe running down the side of the window panel. To imagine what it would look like, think of one of those early films where snow was applied as a special effect during editing and it looks like a thin sheet of snow is falling between you and the character.

Internal or External Glazing? Some suppliers say that internal glazing is more secure since there is no beading on the outside. However other suppliers say that external beading is more secure because the fitter will push the glass against the beading from the inside, which effectively locks the beading onto place. One supplier says that it is possible to simply "kick" out internally fitted glass panels.

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.

"Are there any GOOD double glazing companies?" The answer to this is no. There are some truly awful national companies - [Safestyle and Coldseal (now gone - thank the Lord) are two good examples] however the industry seems to operate according to its own set of peculiar rules which I'm sure most customers find rather disconcerting and unattractive (and which I'm sure do more harm than good to company profits in the long run). Examples are, list prices which bear no relation to actual costs, this price only holds tonight' approaches, other high pressure sales techniques, salespeople who lie, disrespect for property at fitting & poor after sales service.

Double glazed unit failure: It is a well-known fact that double glazed units are of significant value in reducing energy loss and offers other benefits such as lower energy consumption, perfect transparency through the reduction of the condensation on the warm air side and the possibility of using larger glazed areas without increasing energy consumption. However, when this type of unit breaks down, most of its characteristics are compromised.

The special character of many traditional properties in Southend Borough has been spoilt by the unsympathetic installation of double glazing, in an attempt to make saving on heating bills. However double glazing in old houses is rarely economical unless the existing frames are so badly damaged or rotten that replacement is essential. In older properties secondary glazing is often a cheaper, more feasible and a far more acceptable alternative to sealed double glazing units. It solves the problems of heat escaping and draughts, whilst the outside of the property remains unspoiled. Draughtproofing is another effective and inexpensive way of reducing draughts from period windows, while still retaining their special character.
