The concept of "double-glazed window" means that these are two or three glasses, which are separated from each other by a certain interval. It depends on the width of the spacer, made of hollow aluminum rectangular profile.
There is an absorbent material inside this frame. As soon as the double-glazed window is sealed with special resins, moisture residues are immediately drawn out from the space between the windows. As a result, the double-glazed window becomes completely sealed.
You can use different types of glass (at the request of the customer). A double-glazed window is a natural continuation of the usual single-chamber. Its purpose is to reduce noise levels and increase thermal protection. They can be mirrored, tinted, frosted, heat-saving, impact-resistant and armored.
Double-glazed window has three glasses, and single-chamber - two. However, their difference is not in the number of glasses, but in what double-glazed windows they should be equipped with. Sound insulation in them depends on the distance betweenglasses and their thickness.
In order to achieve good noise absorption, a triplex is installed. This is an amorphous interlayer located between the layers of glass. As a result, the sound wave is well absorbed.
To eliminate moisture from the chambers of double-glazed windows, they are filled with a special composition.
A double-glazed window can be distinguished from a single-chamber one by the reflected radiance of a lighter or match light. If you notice a change in color in the reflection in the window, this indicates that the glasses have a low emissivity coating. The area of a double-glazed window usually occupies the entire area of the window. They can have different thicknesses and shapes. The preservation of heat in the room and protection from noise from the street depends on this.
If you need to replace a two-chamber double-glazed window, then you will have to call a specialist at home. He will determine the brand of the profile, as replacement of the glazing beads will be required. The work of replacing a double-glazed window can take from one to three hours.
Often customers ask themselves what is better to order - a single-chamber or double-glazed window. The former has the advantage of allowing more light to pass through. Through such glass, the sun's rays penetrate better than through three glasses. This option is suitable for an office and administrative premises, where there are moderate requirements for comfort and warmth, and increased requirements for light.
If the windows of the apartment overlook a balcony or loggia, then in this case it will also be necessary to install a single-chamber double-glazed window. When compared with conventional windows that have double glazing, it can be said thatthat a single-chamber double-glazed window is not very cold. It can retain heat up to 40%, reduce noise from the outside by half. However, such an insulating glass unit is prone to fogging and is therefore less suitable for use in unstable climates. For this reason, it is desirable to install a double-glazed window in apartments and private houses. It will reduce heat loss by 50%, and noise penetration by 2.2 times.
