As its name suggests, this type of window is made up of a glass that has up to three different layers or a double-layer glass that consists of a film that is placed in the middle of both layers. This film has a low emissivity. Triple glazed windows are known to provide better insulation due to the fact that they have an extra layer and extra air space. This type of window is very suitable in areas that experience extreme weather conditions, as they help improve comfort within a home.
There are several types of triple glazed windows available for your selection, the most common being:
– Made with an old spacer in each glazing hole.
– With a glass in its middle part and an inner U-shaped channel that covers the area along the inner and outer lutes.
– Attached film that is suspended. This film will then be heated to allow it to be reduced in size and then pressed down to remarkable clarity.
Benefits of triple glazing:
As stated earlier, triple glazed windows are those that are made up of three layers of glass along with an air gap in the middle of each pane. These types of windows have made it possible for homeowners to protect themselves against numerous problems associated with normal double-glazed windows. The benefits associated with triple glazed windows are numerous and include:
– Improved thermal insulation: when heat infiltrates your home during the summer or winter, it usually does so through weak points, poorly sealed windows and doors. Windows that are triple glazed consist of three panes of glass that consist of insulating air pockets that are located in their central section. The gas is an effective insulator and the extra air pocket helps reduce the amount of heat that escapes making them very efficient when it comes to saving energy.
– Noise Reduction: Windows are a good entry point for noise. This is due to the fact that they are made up of thin glass membranes. The amount of noise that leaks in has been significantly reduced due to the presence of additional layers of glass and air pockets that help significantly reduce the amount of noise that enters your home through closed windows.
– Draft: As a window ages; it begins to develop small leaks at its edges thus generating air currents. With triple glazed windows this will no longer be a problem as they consist of an additional layer and seal quite well. This prevents air from leaking through the panel, which leads to a buildup of drafts.
– Condensation: Condensation usually forms on windows as a result of the difference in internal and external temperatures. Due to the presence of three panes found in windows that have triple glazing, heat seeps out at a reduced rate and the temperature difference is reduced, leaving your window dry and clean.
