Double Glazing Vs Triple Glazing

Choosing the right windows for your home is an important decision. Have you ever wondered what the difference is between double glazed and triple glazed windows and what is the best choice for your home? Read our guide below where we explain the benefits.
What is the difference between double and triple glazing?

A double glazed window is a sealed glazed unit containing two panes of glass and a triple glazed window has three panes of glass. A double glazed windows works by having an air gap that reduces the thermal transmission of hot and cold air. The benefit of triple glazing is the extra pane of glass creates another air gap to increase the efficiency of heat loss or solar gain. Effectively, it’s a double, double glazing unit.

At MPN, we create windows bespoke to your requirements, including the choice of the following glass:

• Heat retention – using low e coated glass
• Noise reduction – using a specialist laminated 6.8mm glass
• Security – laminated 6.4mm glass
• Privacy – a frosted glass pane

Although both double and triple glazed windows can use the same glass types, described above there are many benefits to triple glazing, such as better insulation, lower energy bills and a warmer home during the winter.
