Almost any double or triple glazed glass unit can be fitted in a UPVC or aluminium window, so then it’s mainly the frame that makes the difference – touch UPVC and aluminium and you will know. UPVC is a naturally warmer material, and the multi-chambered frames offer greater insulation, helping to keep your bills lower during the winter.

Regardless of choosing aluminium or UPVC you will need to choose your glazing – in the same home, in the same frame, triple glazing is normally around 20-30% more energy efficient than double-glazing. However, that’s if:

• The gaps within the window unit are correct.
• The type of gas and coating are chosen correctly.

This does means that it is possible for a lower quality triple glazed unit to be less energy efficient than 5 Star double glazed unit.

Do you live on a busy road or have playful children next door? Maybe you work nights or shifts and wish for a quieter bedroom. Our standard double glazing significantly reduces noise, but maybe you need even more protection? There are many options to explore, the market leaders are Pilkington Optiphon™ and SGG Stadip Silence® 5 Star fit both.
