Double or Triple Glazing

In both new new-build constructions and renovations, the choice of glazing significantly influences the aesthetic appeal of your property, as well as its thermal and acoustic efficiency. It's essential to properly explore these aspects when choosing between double and triple glazing.

Double or Triple Glazing: Making the Right Choice

All VELFAC windows, glazed doors and entrance doors come with double glazing as standard, offering remarkable thermal and acoustic insulation. This can be further enhanced with the addition of our triple glazing, which can be added to the entire VELFAC window and door range and comes as standard on our inward-opening windows and doors.

At Minimal Frame Projects our friendly team are on-hand to help guide you to the most suitable combination of double or triple glazing to ensure year-round comfort in your home.

Double Glazing

Double Glazed Windows & Doors by VELFAC

Double glazing, the most common choice in modern construction, involves two glass panes separated by an insulating layer of gas. This improves it's thermal properties and traps heat, providing enhanced insulation and contributing to improved comfort.

Triple Glazing

Triple glazing incorporates an additional glass pane, totalling three within a sealed frame. This setup minimizes heat loss by utilising the insulating properties of the air/gas layers between the additional pane. Triple glazing offers the ultimate in acoustic and thermal performance.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency in VELFAC Glazing

The energy efficiency of VELFAC glazing can be significantly boosted by choosing low emissivity (Low-E) glass. This type of glass features an invisible coating that dramatically reduces heat transfer and reflects internal heat back into the room, thus enhancing the thermal performance of both double and triple glazed units.

UK Building Regulations Energy Efficiency

Recent updates in Building Regulations stipulate that new installations must meet specific energy performance standards, with a maximum U-value of 1.2W/(m²K) for windows and glazed doors - Which all VELFAC windows and doors supplied by Minimal Frame Projects comply with.
