Glass is a good insulator but it would need to be very thick as a single pane in a window to have much effect. So rather than have thick glass in your windows it is better to have two panes of glass (DGU). A double glazed sealed window comprises of two panes of glass. These two glasses are held apart by a 'spacer bar'. There is an air gap in between each glass which is sealed around the perimeter. Glass is a good conductor of heat. So, just a single glazed or single pane window will not insulate your house very well. Air is a poor conductor of heat, and therefore has superior insulating properties. The air gap between the two sheets of glass reduces the heat conduction between the panes. This helps keep more heat inside your house during winter and outside your house during summer.
It is well known fact that double glazed unit having lot of significant value in windows and doors, it helps in reducing energy loss and offers other benefits such as lower energy consumption, perfect transparency through the reduction of the condensation on the warm air side and the possibility of using larger glazed areas without increasing energy consumption. All well designed and well fitted double glazed units significantly reduce the intrusion of unwanted noise possibility of using larger glazed areas without increasing energy consumption.

Glazing Options
Ordinary glass – called Annealed or Float glass
Safety Glass – This can be either Toughened, Laminated, Safety Wired Glass or Annealed glass with safety film applied to it. Safety glazing is mandatory for new installations within 800mm of the floor in windows and partitions, and within 1500mm of the floor in doors and side panels. Glazing is marked in the corner with BS6206.
Security Glass- Laminated glass or Annealed glass with film applied to it.When security glass is installed you must ensure there is an emergency escape route in case of fire.
Low Emissivity glass or Low E glass- The glass must be used in a double glazed window so that the special reflective coating, which is always placed inside the cavity, is protected from any damage
Decorative glass - This can be Opaque, patterned, Stained, Sandblasted or Etched.
In addition to the above standard glazing options there are a number of further choices to be considered,
An advanced, high performance Low E Glass that allows a clearer view through the glass can be used,
traditional Low E glass has a yellow tint. Self-cleaning glass, Not 100% maintenance free but it will not
need to be cleaned as frequently or thoroughly as conventional glass.
There are many of benefits using double glazing:
Warmer in winter
Cooler in summer
Reduces condensation problems
Conserves energy
Reduces costly energy bills
Replaces thermal drapes
Reduces noise
Minimal maintenance
Improves security
Adds value to your property
Improves your lifestyle
