Types of Double Glazed Sealed Units

Noise reduction glazing is specifically designed to minimize the impact of external noise, making it ideal for homes and offices in busy or noisy environments. By using thicker glass panes or a combination of different thicknesses, noise reduction glazing absorbs sound vibrations, effectively reducing noise from traffic, aircraft, or nearby construction. This type of glazing ensures a quieter, more peaceful living or working environment.

Benefits:

• Reduces external noise significantly

• Ideal for properties near busy roads, airports, or urban areas

• Improves comfort and privacy

Laminated security glass provides enhanced protection against break-ins and external threats. It consists of two or more layers of glass with a tough, transparent interlayer, typically made from polyvinyl butyral (PVB). This interlayer keeps the glass together even if it shatters, preventing intruders from gaining easy access. Laminated security glass is often used in ground-floor windows or in areas where security is a top priority.

Benefits:

• Enhanced security against break-ins

• Keeps glass intact even when broken

• Ideal for high-risk areas like ground-floor windows

Triple glazing offers the highest level of insulation and noise reduction among glazing options. It involves three panes of glass with two insulating gaps in between, making it significantly more energy-efficient than standard double glazing. While often more expensive, triple glazing is ideal for homes in colder climates or properties aiming for maximum thermal efficiency and noise reduction. The additional layer of glass provides an extra barrier to heat loss, keeping your property warm in winter and cool in summer.

Benefits:

• Superior thermal and acoustic insulation

• Perfect for colder climates and energy-conscious homes

• Reduces heat loss and outside noise

Energy-efficient glazing is designed to minimize heat loss and maximize insulation. It usually incorporates low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings and gas-filled spaces, which help retain heat inside your home while allowing natural light to pass through. This type of glazing can significantly reduce your energy bills by maintaining a stable indoor temperature, reducing the need for heating and cooling. Energy-efficient glazing is a must-have for those looking to create a more sustainable and comfortable living space.

Benefits:

• Helps reduce energy bills by improving insulation

• Keeps homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer

• Environmentally friendly by reducing energy consumption

For pet owners, glazing with cat and dog flap holes offers the perfect solution to allow pets to move in and out of the house without the need for an external door. This specialized glazing option integrates a secure, pet-friendly flap directly into the window or door, ensuring your pets can come and go as they please while still benefiting from the insulation and security of double glazing. It’s an ideal choice for those who want to maintain the comfort and efficiency of their windows while providing easy access for their pets.

Benefits:

• Convenient solution for pet owners

• Allows pets to move freely without compromising home security

• Maintains insulation and energy efficiency

Each type of double glazed sealed units offers unique benefits tailored to specific needs, whether you're looking for enhanced noise reduction, extra security, or superior energy efficiency. When choosing the right type for your home, consider factors like your location, climate, and specific requirements for comfort and security.
