Energy efficient glazing helps to reduce the amount of heat naturally lost through rooflights and windows.
Triple glazed roof.
In between the panes of glass you ll find argon gas and in some cases krypton gas which is denser than air and has far better insulating properties.
It could be a small single pane of glass or it could be a large and expansive roof light that accounts for most of the roof.
Triple glazed rooflights are for this reason a lot less prone to condensation than double glazed flat roof windows.
This latest innovation in window insulation is a step ahead of double glazing.
A stylish and unique arc modular eco building has recently been installed at colchester hospital after the clinical team specified a unit with an eclectic look which offered plenty of space.
The glass we supply is either triple glazed units comprising of a 6mmtoughened glass outer 14mm argon filled cavity 6mm toughened centre 16mm argon filled cavity and a 6mm hst toughened inner pane as standard up to 3 9m2 approximately in size.
About 67 of these are windows 1 are roof tiles and 8 are building glass.
Not only do double and triple glazed units help to keep the home warmer they also reduce energy bills reduce condensation build up and provide insulation from external noise.
How does double glazing work.
Now complete the unit has opened up opportunities for patients to step away from a potentially busy hospital environment at a time in their lives when calmness and relaxation should be reflected in their surroundings.
This is why kitchens and bathroom windows where water is constantly running are so vulnerable.
Between each pane is a pocket of air or inert gas such as argon.
A typical 2 4 sq m double glazed unit will weigh 57 6kg just manageable by two men but a similar sized triple glazed roof pane will weigh 86 4kgs instead and require 3 men to handle or the hire of lifting equipment which takes doubles the handling time anyway.
Triple glazed combination roof window.
In short and as might seem obvious triple glazing contains three panes of glass within a sealed frame just as double glazing contains two.
Argon is heavier than air and works as an insulator for both noise and heat.
A wide variety of triple glazed roof options are available to you such as screen netting material feature and frame material.
Triple glazing is effectively three panes of glass that are separated by argon gas.
Triple glazing contains three panes of glass within a sealed frame as opposed to the traditional two panes found in double glazing.
Designed for installation along the ridge of a roof ridgeglaze or vertical and then horizontal eaves applications.
A roof light is simply a window that is built into the roof.
