In modern construction, the use of double glazing glass instead of simple glass is increasing rapidly. It is also called insulated glass. If you want to protect your home office or large plazas from noise and harsh weather this glass is the best solution.
What is Double Glazing Glass and How is it Made?
Double glazing refers to a unit that uses two layers of glass. A small gap is kept between the two glasses, in which a spacer ranging from 6mm to 10mm is installed, and their edges are sealed airtight. The empty space between these two glasses is filled with dry air or argon gas. This gas prevents heat and noise from passing from one side to the other.
Where is Double Glass Used?
The best and most essential use of double glass is on the exterior side of buildings, such as the external windows of houses and villas, the fronts of shopping plazas, and commercial buildings. It is also used in buildings located near airports where noise levels are high. Installing double glass is more beneficial in places where air conditioning is used extensively.
Major Benefits of Installing Double Glass in External Windows
It prevents outside heat from entering and does not let the internal cooling escape. This reduces the load on the AC and leads to savings on electricity bills. If your home is on a busy road or in a factory area, double glazing reduces outside noise by 70% to 80%. Since it has two layers of glass, it is more difficult to break compared to simple glass. In winter, water droplets often freeze on the inside of windows; double glass eliminates this problem.
Can it be Installed Everywhere?
A double glass unit is heavier and thicker than ordinary glass. Generally, it is between 19mm and 24mm. Therefore, it is specifically used in specially designed aluminum double glazing frames that can bear its weight and thickness.
