In this guide, we’ll cover the ins and outs of double glazing – the array of options we expertly install here in London, why homeowners and enterprises continue choosing Glazing Works in London for their insulation glazing needs for decades, cost considerations, and the multitude of benefits you’ll enjoy once your property is upgraded with modern double pane insulation.
What is Double Glazing?
Double glazing refers to an insulating glazing system comprised of two parallel panes of glass sealed within a window sash featuring an air gap separating the two. This internal layer, usually measuring between 12 to 18mm, acts as a thermal barrier restricting heat loss across the windows.
Compared to traditional single paned glass, double glazing dramatically reduces energy transfer, keeping interiors comfortable and reducing heating bills – by up to 20% for many Londoners switching to dual panes!
