Latest "secondary double glazing" Information

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.

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.

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.

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.

Extent to which Windows & Glazing technologies are deployed in EU markets: In the 15 European Union member states almost 60% of the dwellings still have single glazing. Market deployment figures of energy efficient glazing (i.e. double glazing and low-E) are indicated hereafter. Apart from the size of the building stock, penetration rate is largely affected by the status of glazing in national building codes for new construction.

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.

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.
