TRIPLE GLAZING WINDOWS

Avoid poor quality triple glazing!!

5 Star’s triple glazing units are designed to allow in and retain, as much heat as possible to minimise the need for central heating, resulting in a reduction in your carbon footprint compared to poor quality glazing options. If you have older triple glazing, you won’t have our futuristic glass and you are likely to have a silver or gold spacer bar separating your two glass panes, which is cold and condensates. 5 Star’s triple glazing is fitted as standard with deep 36mm units, clever glass and two 12mm cavities, with two thermal break black warm edged spacer bars.

Old or poor-quality double-glazed window units are filled with air, conducting cold air between the glass panes, costing you money. Argon is an inert gas, which is pumped into the two 12mm voids between all 5 Star’s standard glass units. The argon gas improves the insulation ability of your windows. In addition, it does not conduct the cold air and significantly reduces the build-up of condensation at the bottom of the glass during cold weather. All 5 Star units are made to retain this Argon so your windows insulating properties last a lifetime.

All 5 Star’s futuristic insulated double-glazed units are sound-reducing and are superior to alternative lower-spec glazing. However, if your life is impacted heavily by noise – maybe you are near a busy road or motorways, under a flight path, near a train line, a school, pub, or busy restaurants you would benefit further by exploring laminated acoustic glazing options which reduce noise even further. Protecting your neighbours, it works both ways, so if you love to party, enjoy loud music, or have a budding musician in the family, laminated acoustic glazing can keep excessive noise in too.

Triple glazing

Triple Glazing can reduce noise by simply placing another barrier in the way of the noise. However, as standard triple glazing is not designed to combat noise, it can make things worse. You see, two air gaps can create resonance and echo chambers. If noise reduction is sought and triple glazing is preferred, then changing the centre glass pane to a 6mm laminated glass would be the preferred option.

Solar Control Glazing: The SGG Cool-Lite presents a range of solar control solutions, designed to reduce solar heat gain, helping ventilation and air conditioning systems.

Low-maintenance Glazing: SGG Bioclean combined with Planitherm Total+ to add effective self-cleaning properties to a double or triple glazed unit. This product combination offers a more neutral and less reflective solution compared to equivalent products on the market.

Acoustic Glazing: SGG STADIP SILENCE is an acoustic PVB laminated glass, which reduces noise whilst also offering the same safety and security as laminated glass.

Vision Control: SGG DECORGLASS traditional patterned glass with varying obscuration levels which can be combined with Planitherm Total+ to offer privacy in rooms where needed. SGG Masterclass and SGG Satinovo Matt offer design possibilities for domestic or commercial installations.

Anti-Condensation: SGG Viewclear® II is a neutral anti-condensation coating designed to reduce the number of days where external condensation may occur on an insulating glazing unit.
