Hazlemere Windows UPVC triple glazing represents the very latest that the UK glazing industry has to offer. UPVC triple glazed windows have similar aesthetics to double glazing, but are far superior in terms of thermal efficiency. For example triple glazed windows are approximately 60% more thermally efficient than standard “C”-rated double glazed windows, and 40% more efficient than standard “A”-rated double glazing – therefore have the potential to save property owners hundreds on heating costs.
The materials and components used in the production of Hazlemere’s UPVC triple glazed windows are selected for their vital contribution to the overall thermal efficiency of the product. Hazlemere’s UPVC triple glazing incorporates multi-chambered UPVC profiles, warm-edge spacer bars, soft-coat glass, Argon gas and thermal reinforcing.
With a combined U-value of just 1.0 W/m2K – Hazlemere’s UPVC Triple Glazed Windows are far more thermally efficient than standard A-rated double glazed windows. Triple glazed windows keep in more heat where older, less efficient windows simply let it escape and, in turn, reduce UK household carbon emissions. The specially selected internal pane of soft coat glass used in Hazlemere’s UPVC triple glazing reflects heat back into the room, so captures it before it can escape!
Any heat that does pass through the internal pane is reflected by a second pane of soft coat glass. This second pane also creates two cavities (as opposed to only one) that are filled with Argon; an inert gas which, together with warm-edge spacer bars, controls the transfer of heat extremely effectively. The middle pane of glass is toughened to prevent cracking through extreme temperature differentials.
Hazlemere’ s multi-chambered triple glazed UPVC profile ensures that the casement, tilt and turn and Georgian window frames are also thermally efficient, and thermal reinforcing can also be specified to provide added strength and increased thermal performance.
