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.

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.

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.

Double Glazing Specifications: Turning to the window glass itself, the insulating effect of double-glazing can be affected by a number of factors, including the cavity width, the use of argon instead of air in between the panes or by utilising a low emissivity coating that reflects heat back into the room.

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.

Double glazing can be expensive. But if it's a good job, it can help you cut down on your heating costs. Unfortunately, there are some bad jobs and complaints about double glazing still arise. What The Law Says? A double glazing contractor is providing a service and so his work must be done with reasonable skill and care. The glass and frames must be of satisfactory quality, fit for any specified purpose and as described. Unless you agreed a price before he started his work, the contractor must charge only what is reasonable. Where no time limit was agreed in advance, the work should be finished within a reasonable time.

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.
