Double / Triple Glazing Unit

A sealed unit consisting of two or three panes of glass separated by spacer bars and an argon or krypton gas fill to provide thermal and acoustic insulation. Low-emissivity (low-e) coatings on the inner glass surfaces reflect heat back into the room. Current building regulations require windows and doors in extensions to achieve a minimum Centre of Glass U-value to limit heat loss.
