Triple glazed windows & doors offer improved u-values and overall thermal efficiency over double glazed windows & doors.
We offer triple glazing as an option for all of our windows & doors.
The cost of triple glazing is more than double glazing, but is the cost difference worth it?
Is triple glazing worth it for our Deceuninck uPVC windows?
For uPVC, triple-glazed windows are generally 10-20% more expensive than double-glazed windows.
However, triple-glazed uPVC windows are generally 30% more thermally efficient than double-glazed uPVC windows.
Our triple-glazed uPVC windows typically achieve a U-value of 0.96, whilst our double-glazed uPVC windows achieve a U-value of 1.40.
Is triple glazing worth it for our Sunflex aluminium windows?
For aluminium, triple-glazed windows are generally 10-20% more expensive than double-glazed windows.
However, triple-glazed aluminium windows are generally 30% more thermally efficient than double-glazed aluminium windows.
Our triple-glazed uPVC windows typically achieve a U-value of 1.00, whilst our double-glazed uPVC windows achieve a U-value of 1.40.
Is triple glazing worth it for our Sunflex aluminium bi-folding doors?
For our Sunflex aluminium bi-folding doors, the triple-glazed option is generally 8-10% more expensive than the double-glazed option.
However, our triple-glazed aluminium bifold is generally 38% more thermally efficient than the double-glazed aluminium bifold.
Our triple-glazed Sunflex aluminium bi-folding door typically achieves a U-value of 0.8, whilst our double-glazed Sunflex aluminium bi-folding door achieves a U-value of 1.30.
The superior efficiency of triple glazing can help to create a house that reduces carbon emissions and uses less energy to heat. As the Future Homes Standards and Building Standards are introduced, the U-value and energy efficiency of a window will become more important.
At Sapphire Windows & Doors, we are committed to making energy-efficient windows and striving towards more efficient homes. We see lowering U-values and triple glazing as the future for all windows in the UK.
