Double glazing is the process of using two or more layers of glazing, usually made of glass in windows. These layers are separated by a spacer along the edges and then sealed, creating an air space between the sheets of glass or glazing.

Double glaze windows provide excellent insulation for both heat and sound compared to single-glazed windows. The gap between the layers of glazing are usually filled with air. For this purpose inert gases provide better insulation. Inert gases have more mass which makes them move slower thereby also also slowing down conduction of heat or sound.

To prevent condensation and improve insulation, a desiccant is often used to fill the space between the glazing. Evacuated glazing, on the other hand, is a double glaze without air in the space to create a vacuum thereby reducing, if not eliminating, conduction of heat or sound.

Although more the more common application of double glaze is for windows, double glazing can also be used in doors.

Fortify your door with at least two layers of glass gives you have double glazed door. Using double glazed doors promotes energy efficiency as it helps conserve heat while significantly reducing noise pollution. In double glazed doors, a layer of air is trapped between two glass panes. Double-glazing both your doors and windows is an excellent option that will help you and your home in a number of ways.

Double glazing doors and windows improves insulation greatly in comparison to ordinary single-glazed options. Double-glazing conserves the amount of heat available a room making you more warm and comfortable. This translates to reduction in fuel and therefore saving you money.
