Why Consider Secondary Glazing?
Sound Proof Glazing
Queensbury
If you live near a busy road, railway line or under a flight path, you might wish to use glass
to reduce the noise to an acceptable level. There are various ways this can be achieved depending on the reduction required
including customised insulating glass units and the use of specially laminated glass.
Shaped Secondary Glazing
Queensbury
Sound Proof Glazing secondary bespoke window panels involves the use of irregular angles and units with more than four sides. There are limitations but, it is possible to shape horizontal sliding units, vertical sliding units hinged casements, lift out units and fixed panes.
Thermal Efficiency
Queensbury
Glass with a low emissivity (low E) coating greatly reduces the heat escaping through windows, especially in conservatories and roof areas. It makes your home more comfortable, with lower heating bills, no ‘cold spots’ and less internal condensation. EnergiKare™ glazing units are even more efficient, by letting more of the sun’s heat in and less of your heat out.
Condensation Control
Queensbury
The global move to more demanding environmental and legislative requirements has increased the popularity of glass which provides high level thermal insulation whilst at the same time reducing the amount of heat lost through the window
Additional Security
Queensbury
Because laminated glass stays intact on impact it can provide additional protection against deliberate attack such as vandalism or break-in. Laminated glass is available in a range of thicknesses depending on the level of impact resistance you wish to protect from. As with safety glass, security can be provided for all glass types.
Safety Glass
Queensbury
Where glass is used overhead, at low level or in doors, the relevant British Standards must be met to protect against accidental human impact. There are two types of safety glass: Toughened glass, such as that in the side windows of your car, is up to five times stronger than ordinary glass. Laminated glass similar to that used in the front windscreen of your car, consists of two pieces of glass sandwiching a clear plastic interlayer so it cracks on impact but stays intact, reducing the risk of injury.
