Benefits of Triple Glazing
Triple glazing is a fantastic choice for Winchester homes, with exceptional thermal performance and high-quality strength that will keep you safe from potential intruders. The three panes of glass are terrific for those in noisy neighbourhoods or those who live near busy roads, as the noise insulation will mean outdoor noise will become a thing of the past. Triple glazing significantly reduces the risk of UV rays entering your home in Winchester, as each pane of glass works as a barrier to block the UV rays. A significant benefit of triple glazing is that UV rays entering your Winchester home can cause interior damage to your furniture, such as fading.
Triple glazing will ensure security in your Winchester home. It is significantly harder to break than single glazing and can deter intruders from breaking in so you and your family can have peace of mind in your home.
Why Triple Glazing?
Triple glazing is an innovative technology that utilises three panes of glass in a window, as opposed to the conventional one or two. This additional pane offers an extra layer of insulation, minimising heat loss and noise transmission. The secret behind the energy efficiency of triple glazing windows is the argon gas filled between the panes. The advantages of triple glazing windows for your Winchester are endless, including improved thermal performance, reduced risk of condensation, and improved home security. The benefits of triple glazing are instantly noticeable, and your everyday life will be vastly improved.

Contact UsImproved Security
Improved security over double glazed windows, due to the extra pane of toughened glass. Internally glazed windows offer added security and prevents the removal of the glass from the outside.
Sound Insulation
There is no major gain having triple glazing with three equal thicknesses of glass. The best solution would be with a thicker centre pane, please enquire for further information.
Heat Insulation
44mm sealed units filled with two 16mm cavities of argon gas. Argon gas is heavier than air, so acts as an insulator
Prevent Cold-Bridging
Warm edge spacer bars made from a composite material to stop the cold-bridge across the unit.
Low-emissivity Glass
Two coatings of low-emissivity glass (Low E). This is a microscopically thin coating that stops the heat from your house going outside.
Plenty of Options
Available in the Sheerline Prestige, Residence 9 and Residence 7 systems as a 44mm unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is triple glazing and how does it work?
Triple glazing is a type of window or door that features three panes of glass, providing superior insulation and energy efficiency. The three panes of glass are separated by gaps, typically filled with a gas such as argon or krypton, which helps to reduce heat transfer and prevent heat from escaping.
How much do triple glazed windows cost?
As a rough guide triple glazing will cost on average around £150 extra per window over double glazing, based on one square metre of glass. This would be the average window size of a 1.2m square (4ft) UK window as it would have around one square metre of glass.
Are triple glazed windows better than double glazing?
While the initial cost of triple glazing windows may be higher than double glazing, the long-term savings in energy bills make it a cost-effective choice. Triple glazing windows significantly improve the energy efficiency of your home, reducing heat loss and thereby lowering your heating costs.
What do triple glazed windows do?
For a long time windows in the UK were single glazed, in the 1980’s double glazing really took off. Back in the day the best double glazed window had a u-value of around 3 w/m²k. The glass units were made of two panes of normal glass with a metal spacer holding them apart. Triple glazed windows have changed the thermal performance hugely.
Today, the units are manufactured with three panes of glass, two of them will have a low-e coating, the gaps between the panes are filled with an inert gas commonly argon. Finally the triple glazed unit will have two warm edge spacers that stop cold transferring through the edge of the glass. This will normally reduce the overall whole window u-value down to less than 1 w/m²k. Do remember all triple glazing is not the same, generally with argon filled units, the gaps between the panes should be 16mm, any smaller and the efficiency will be less.
Are smaller triple glazed units available?
We can offer 28mm triple glazed units (2 x 8mm gaps) filled with krypton gas and 3 layers of 4mm glass, which achieves a centre pane U-value of 0.50 W/m2K. We offer this smaller unit to accommodate for the smaller units that we offer and for our customers who prefer the bead detail on the 28mm system. Krypton gas works better on smaller air-gaps than argon, but is MUCH more expensive than argon filled units. Either way KJM can provide a triple glazed unit to suit your requirements.
