What Is Single Glazed Glass?

We supply single pane glass for windows and doors in uPVC profiles and wooden frames.

Single glazed windows are referred to glazing units that are constructed using a single layer of glass. That single pane keeps you inside a property away from the outside atmosphere with a glass depth which can range from 3mm to 10mm. This type of construction is perfect for a retro fit to period properties and is a cheaper option for certain applications.

Advantages

  • 1
    Initial Lower Cost

    Having to use a single pane of glass rather than two panes for double glazed windows substantially brings down the cost of glassware.

  • 2
    No Condensation Between Glass

    As there is no insulating layers where condensation can build up when the hermetic seal fails, a single glazing will only have condensation on the surface which can be easily wiped off.

    Retains Less Heat In Summer

    With no shielding layers to excessively trap heat in the summer, it does not cause a greenhouse effect similar to a multi-layered window.

Disadvantages

  • 1
    Higher Energy Costs

    Single glazing windows let a high amount of heat to escape your home. To maintain a comfortable temperature the heating level in the property has to be increased, which in turn consumes more electricity or gas according to your heater type.

  • 2
    High External Noise Level

    A thin layer of glass as seen in single glazed windows is not the most effective material to reduce external noise from obtruding into your property. It is definitely recommended to upgrade to double glazed units to protect your premises if you live near airports, town centres or other noisy places.

  • 3
    Relatively Weak Structure

    Single glazing windows have weaker structures than double or triple glazed units and are broken quite easily. A relatively firm pressure or a sharp force can simply damage the glass. They do not offer much security from intruders who may try to gain access into your home to steal valuables.
