Top Rated Double Glazing Windows in Glasgow

Double glazing is a type of window that allows two panes of glass within a single frame, separated by a gap filled with a gas that has high insulation ability. This slows the movement of heat from inside the house to the outside, as well as noise coming in from the outside.

Double and triple glazing can be installed within a range of different types of windows and doors, including French doors, patio doors, upvc doors, and also specialist windows.

Choosing to replace your single-glazed or old double-glazed units saves you money from day one. In fact, choosing Homeshield for your double-glazing could help you reduce your heating costs by up to 20% – saving a significant amount of money each year.

Up to 80% of a double-glazing unit’s energy loss occurs at the glass edge, however, our windows come fitted with a warm edge spacer with advanced composite construction. This makes our windows in Glasgow highly effective for our customers.

Lower heat loss at window edges makes our glass 3-4°C warmer, cutting condensation by up to 80%. In addition, due to the use of high-performance gaskets, our double glazing reduces noise pollution too

Robust and Resistant

Our windows feature innovative Q-Lon weather seals. Offering high-quality windows with exceptional performance over a wide temperature range, the unique construction actively absorbs noise pollution, increasing acoustic insulation. Immune to rot, mould, mildew, UV, and ozone, CFC-free Q-Lon weather seals will last the lifetime of a window.

Yes, it’s entirely possible to have replacement windows and doors supplied with double glazing. There are some factors to look out for, such as the material of the frames and sometimes even building regulations, but installing double glazing is one of our most popular services due to the impressive benefits that double glazing offers. Triple glazed windows are also an option for households whose own personal requirements mean that they may need a greater level of thermal efficiency and noise reduction.

This is a common misunderstanding of terms, as it’s entirely possible to have double and triple-glazing UPVC windows, as UPVC simply refers to the materials used in the frame of the window. UPVC windows are a popular choice due to their energy efficiency, durability and low maintenance. UPVC windows in Glasgow are a worthwhile investment due to their energy efficiency abilities – a key factor in the cold conditions of central Scotland – as well as their high levels of durability and low maintenance.

Both styles of windows in Glasgow will serve the same vital purpose – reducing both heat loss and noise pollution. However, they differ in style and installation method.

Double Glazing has a pocket of insulated air in the middle of the two panes of glass and are installed as a complete unit. Secondary glazing, however, is installed by adding the second pane of glass, or alternatively a plastic panel, to a single-glazed window on the interior side. This panel creates a gap filled with air between the original pane and the new one.

Of the two formats of glazing, it’s widely accepted by double glazing companies in Glasgow and beyond that this type of glazing is more effective than secondary glazing. The reason for this is that the insulating gas is more than just air, it’s often argon or krypton, which is far more effective and protects against energy loss. On top of that, it comes together as a professionally constructed unit, meaning it is ensured to have a tight seal made up to industry standards.

That being said, secondary glazing does have an advantage in that it’s less intrusive, meaning that it’s far more likely to be accepted in listed buildings, or other areas that have similar protections.
