How thick is triple glazing?
44mm
Triple glazing is generally supplied with an overall thickness of 28 – 44mm. A 28mm unit with 1 low-e coating will achieve a centre pane u-value of 1.3, in this configuration, triple glazing would not be more energy efficient than a double glazed unit.
What is Planitherm glass?
Planitherm is thermally insulated glass. It uses the latest advances in glazing technology to coat the surface of the glass with a high performance thermally insulating layer, and this will, of course, lead to savings in heating bills for your home. It´s known as low-emissivity glass, or low-E glass, for short.
Is triple glazing worth the extra money?
Why? Well the cost of triple glazing is a fair bit higher than double, whilst the improved U-value is not very large. If you are getting your windows done anyway, or you are building a new home, triple glazing is not a bad idea, but if you already have double glazing, triple glazing might not be right for you.
Does triple glazing reduce noise?
Triple glazing works so well because of the amount of layers the sound has to travel through with each pane of glass weakening the strength of the sound wave. This means that by the time it does get through (if it gets through at all) it is much quieter and much less noticeable.
Can sggplanitherm total+ be used for triple glazing?
