What is Double Glazing?
Double Glazing is when two panes of glass (separated by a layer of air), are used in a home’s window. This provides another layer of insulation for your home, decreasing heat loss through your windows.

Ongoing research has shown that adding a second pane of glass, with a sealed pocket of air (or gas) in the middle, dramatically reduces the loss of heat through windows.
