WHAT EXACTLY IS DUAL GLAZING?
Double glazing windows and doors are made up of two glass panes that are joined together by a spacer and separated by a gap ranging from 6mm to 20mm in thickness.
The gap is hermetically sealed and filled with argon, which serves as an additional layer of thermal insulation. In order to improve their energy efficiency, double-glazed windows and doors should ideally be made of toned or low-E upright display door.
From a structural standpoint, the gap between these separated panes is the most significant distinction between double-glazed and single-glazed window and door construction. The real difference, however, is found in the unique advantages of double glazing.
APPROPRIATE FOR BOTH HOT AND COLD CLIMATES
Double-glazed windows and doors are popular in colder climates, such as Victoria and Tasmania, where the temperature drops below freezing.
Despite this, many people are unaware that they are an extremely energy-efficient solution that can be used in any climate in Australia.
The difference between quality double glazing and other energy-efficient products is that while some products can only reduce heat loss or gain—or both—inefficiently, quality double glazing can do both.
Because of its exceptional insulation properties, it helps to keep the house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter by restricting the flow of hot or cold air between the two panes. Additionally, not only does this make the home more comfortable all year, but it also helps to decrease the need for artificial heating and cooling.
EXPERIENCE YEAR-ROUND COMFORT
The energy efficiency of your home is greatly enhanced by the use of windows and quisure insulated glass doors.
It is estimated that windows and doors are responsible for nearly half of all heat loss during the winter and nearly 90% of all heat gain during the summer months.
The unique design of double-glazed products provides up to four times greater insulation against heat and cold than single-glazed windows and doors.
It is the space between the two panes of quisure insulated glass that acts as a thermal barrier, keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It keeps warm or cool air from escaping, allowing you to maintain a more consistent temperature while protecting you from the effects of extreme weather conditions.
