Insulating glazing
Insulating glazing contributes to comfort as part of a complete window. Compare the glass specification alongside the frame, facade orientation and possible shading, and ask what the proposed combination means for the different rooms in your home.
Put values in context
A figure describing the glass does not automatically describe the whole window. Ask which component the information covers and which configuration was assessed. Compare proposals using the same dimensions and similar assumptions about the window construction.
Balance daylight and sun
Glazing can differ in light transmission, solar control and appearance. Discuss the desired daylight and sunlight for each facade. Consider possible tint differences and include external shading in the conversation where summer overheating is a concern.
Check the application
Not every glass specification fits an existing frame. Have the rebate, load capacity and hardware assessed, and ask where safety glazing is required or appropriate. Record the complete glass specification in the distributor's written quotation.
- What glazing build-up is quoted?
- How much daylight do I want?
- Is the frame suitable for the glass?
Is triple glazing always the best option?
The suitable choice depends on the frame, home, comfort objectives and construction. Have the full situation assessed.
Can I replace only the glass?
Sometimes. The condition and suitability of the existing frame need to be checked before deciding.
