Double glazing
Two glass panes are linked together by a spacer and divided by a gap of 6mm to 20mm in double glazed sliding doors.
To offer an additional insulation layer, the space is sealed up and filled with argon. The toned or low-E glass should be used in double-glazed windows and doors to improve performance. The structural difference between double-glazed and mono windows and doors is the spacing between these separated panes. The actual difference, however, is in the advantages of double glazing.
Lower Energy Prices
In Australia, energy costs have increased by more than 50% in the recent decade. With central heating devices using 50% of the energy consumed in Australian households, staying calm in summer or warm in the winter is more expensive than ever. Australian consumers pay 2 to 3 times more for energy than American homes. One of the ways to make a home more energy-efficient is to install double-glazed windows and doors. Because double staring is an effective insulator, you may not need to use electrical temperature control. Compared to single-glazed windows, this design element can save you more than 20% on your energy expenditures while also saving the planet.
Do they reduce noise?
Compared to single glazing, double glazed windows can reduce outside noise from people, animals, trucks, planes, trains, or other sources by up to 60%. According to the World Health Organisation, long-term noise exposure has been linked to stress, insomnia and cognitive issues, and health disorders like cardiovascular disease. Due to the space between the glass panes, double-glazed goods absorb higher sound energy than single-glazed products. The efficacy of double glazing is improved by including acoustic glass.
Appropriate for all climates
Double-glazed doors and windows are standard in cooler climates, such as Victoria and Tasmania. However, many people are unaware that they are an extremely energy-efficient option for all Australian seasons. While certain energy-efficient materials can only inefficiently minimise heat losses—quality double glazing is not one of them. By limiting the heat or cold circulation between the two panes, its unique insulation capabilities make the home warm during winters and cool during summers. This makes the house more pleasant all year, but it also reduces the need for artificial heating.
Year-round comfort
Windows or glass doors are critical to the energy efficiency of your home. Windows and doors are responsible for over half of all energy loss in the winter and almost 90% of radiant heat in the summer. Double-glazed windows and doors insulate against heat and cold four times better than single-glazed doors and windows due to their unique design. The space between two panes of windows between your house and the outside world functions as a heat barrier. It keeps warm and cool air to escape, resulting in a more consistent temperature and protection from the impact of climate extremes.
Types
Many types of doors and windows are available with double glazing. There’s a design and arrangement to fit every kind of home, from the traditional double window dress to a trendy double glazed sliding door and the sumptuous bi-fold door. You can also select alternative coloured glass and fittings to complement or match your window and door frames and your interior walls and flooring.It is available in larger sizes than most doors and windows on the market due to its design. Furthermore, they are offered double glazing.
