Which Glazing: Single, Double Or Triple?
When it comes to windows, should you opt for double or triple glazing? If this question arises during a renovation project, it hides another just as important. Indeed, it is necessary to take into account not only the performance of the glazing but also the performance of the window as a whole, that is to say the frame and the glazing.
When it comes to thermal insulation, it is therefore advisable to take into account the Uw coefficient first and foremost: the closer this Uw coefficient is to zero, the more protection against cold, heat and variations in outside temperature will be good. This is why the windows we install have a Uw between 0.69 and 1.36 W / (m².K). And if you want your home to meet the criteria of a passive house, the Uw coefficient of your windows must be less than or equal to 0.8 W / (m².K).
Technically, double glazing has made considerable progress in terms of both thermal efficiency and sound insulation. The thermal performance of certain new double glazing thus brings them closer to that of certain triple glazing.
The triple glazing is particularly recommended if the weather is capricious (temperatures very hot in summer and very cold temperatures in winter) or as part of a renovation to passive house. It is also possible to adapt the glazing according to the orientation of the house. For example: triple glazing will be recommended for rooms to the north. Triple glazing also reinforces the anti-intrusion capabilities of the joinery. Now that the Best door and window shop in Cascais are available, the options are open.
