Double-glazed windows and what you need to know about it

The concept of "insulating glass" means that it is two or three glasses, which are separated by a certain interval. It depends on the width of the distance frame, made of hollow aluminum rectangular profile. Within this framework, there is an adsorbent material. As soon as the insulating glass unit is sealed with special resins, immediately the stretching out of the space between the windows of the moisture remains. As a result, the glass unit becomes completely sealed.

You can use different types of glass (at the request of the customer). Double-glazed windows are a natural extension of the conventional single-chamber. Its purpose is to reduce noise and increase thermal protection. They can be mirrored, tinted, matte, heat-saving, shock-resistant and armored.

The two-chamber double-glazed window has three glasses, and a one-chamber double-glazed window. However, their difference is not in the number of glasses, but in what kind of double-glazed units they should be equipped with. Sound insulation in them depends on the distance between the glasses and their thickness.

To achieve good noise absorption, triplex is installed . This is an amorphous interlayer, located between the layers of glass. As a result, the sound wave is well absorbed.

To eliminate moisture from the chambers of double-glazed windows, they are filled with a special compound.

Double-glazed windows can be distinguished from a single-chamber luminous light of a cigarette lighter or matches. If you notice a discoloration in the reflection in the window, this indicates that the glasses have a low emissive coating. The area of a double-glazed window usually occupies the entire area of the window. They can have different thickness, shape. This depends on the preservation of heat in the room and protection from noise from the street.

If you need to replace the double-glazed windows, then you will have to call a specialist on the house. It will determine the profile mark, as it will require the replacement of the glazing beads. The replacement of the insulating glass unit can take from one to three hours.

Often, customers are asked about the fact that it is better to order - single-chamber or double-glazed windows. The first has the advantage that it transmits light more. Through this glass, the sun's rays penetrate better than through three glasses. This option is suitable for office and administrative premises, where moderate requirements for comfort and warmth, and elevated - for light.

If the windows of the apartment open onto a balcony or a loggia, then in this case you will also need to install a single-glazed unit. When compared with conventional windows in which there is double glazing, it can be said that the single-compartment glass unit is not very cold. It can hold heat up to 40%, the noise from the outside can be reduced by half. However, such a double-glazed window is prone to fogging and therefore less suitable for use in an unstable climate. For this reason, it is desirable to install a double-glazed unit in apartments and private houses. It will reduce the loss of heat by 50%, and the penetration of noise - by 2.2 times.
