Double-glazed windows: reviews

Double-glazed windows - a system consisting of two or more glasses, connected hermetically and significantly increasing the sound and heat insulation characteristics of the window. The glasses are separated by a gap that is filled with an inert gas (most often an agronomist) or air. Tightness is created by means of two seals: one in the gap between the frame and the panes, the other is poured from the outside.

The majority of double-glazed windows are one-chamber and two-chambered. In single-chambered there are two glasses and one gap (chamber) between them. In two-chamber, respectively, three glasses and two chambers. The area of the window is mainly the area of the double-glazed window, so it is very important to correctly determine its choice. The appearance, security, heat loss, comfort of the room largely depend on the quality and characteristics of the chosen one. If you decide to install double-glazed windows, it is important for you to know what types they are produced by companies.

In winter it is very important to reduce heat losses. Enhance energy-saving characteristics can be achieved by filling the interstitial gap with an inert gas and spraying on one of the inner sides of the glass (so-called energy-saving or K-glasses). These measures will help significantly reduce the cost of heating in winter and reduce heating in the summer. Such systems are called "energy-saving double-glazed windows". The feedback of the owners allows us to talk about the energy efficiency of this product.

Single-chamber insulating glass with energy-saving glass, filled with argon, in its thermal insulation characteristics is similar to the usual two-chamber, but has a lower sound insulation. But it weighs a third less and is cheaper, which is important, for example, when glazing balconies. So this option is best if you need balcony insulating glass with high thermal insulation.

There are shockproof glasses that can be installed in storefronts or on the windows of the lower floors. External differences you will not find, but if you try to break it or if you hit the ball, this glass will be unharmed. If the impact-resistant glass can still be destroyed, it will break up into small fragments without sharp edges. Such glasses are suitable for installation in children's or other premises with increased security requirements. Window systems with their use are also called "shockproof double-glazed windows". Clients' feedback confirms the effectiveness of the protection of the glasses from most of the power effects. These double-glazed windows withstand a tenfold hit of the ball or a small stone blow.

Laminated glass is produced by gluing several conventional films with a special film. They have increased sound insulation characteristics, and are also bullet-proof. Systems that use laminated canvases are called "bullet-proof double-glazed windows". The experts' feedback guarantees that such systems will withstand pistol bullets fired from a distance of several meters.

It is often enough to meet in tinted glass or sun glasses. Toning protects against sunlight, making the light softer. Sun glasses cover up to 90% of ultraviolet rays.

In addition to the choice of glasses, it is very important tightness. It is with the help of properly installed sealants and dehumidifiers that the possibility of water vapor entering the glass unit is eliminated, preventing the appearance of condensation during the winter period (crying windows). Double glazing should not be fogged in any way. If such a defect is discovered before the warranty expires, the manufacturer must exchange the crying (defective) for high-quality double-glazed windows. Customer testimonials indicate that a quality window product lasts for up to 15 years, and does not "cry" even in severe frosts.

From all of the above, it follows that, first of all, you need to determine the characteristics that will be decisive when choosing insulating glass.
