Uses of double glazed units
Heat insulation
Heat insulation has mostly been the reason for the use of double glazing in windows over the years to cut down on heat loss and condensation. However, it is now a legal
requirement that all new replacement windows and new windows in newly-built
homes comply with Building Regulation Document L, meaning double glazed units
with low emissivity glass must be used.
Noise Insulation
Double glazed units also reduce the noise. By using different glass thicknesses, a good reduction can be achieved. As a rule it is advised that the sealed unit is constructed using two different
thicknesses of glass ie. 6mm with a 10mm to reduce resonance.
Secondary Glazing
Secondary Glazing is useful for homes that are listed and there is a need to keep the original windows to retain the character of the property. It is also very effective for noise
insulation as the gap is far larger between the panes of glass.
