Argon-filled double glazing

Taking up the majority of window and French door surfaces, glass plays an important role in terms of product performance. Single-glazed poor-quality glass can become a vulnerable part of a window or door, leading to substandard thermal and sound insulation as well as low impact resistance and energy-efficiency. Due to this all products with glass from windows24.com come with double glazing in their most basic configuration.

Double glazing means that door or window glass features two panes, rather than just one. This increases the glazing’s thickness, which helps to slow the travel of sound and heat waves while adding strength and resistance. To further enhance these properties, the space between the two panes is filled with sealed argon. This is the case for all our double glazing, whether it is used in a window, large patio door or small front door decorative inserts.

Argon is a colourless, odourless, non-toxic, and unreactive gas that has been used in the home building industry for many years.

It is used to fill the space between glass panes because it is denser than air and has a very low thermal conductivity.

This has the gas act like a barrier, helping to prevent undesirable heat from moving via conduction between exteriors and interiors that have a temperature difference.

A more comfortable, stable interior temperature is therefore achieved, and energy is saved, which can lead to utility bill savings.

Given the gas' density, good sound insulation can also be achieved with argon double-glazed windows.

Beyond its key functional properties, argon gas-filled double glazing from windows24.com can also be customised to suit personal design preferences and further requirements.

Argon double glazing can commonly feature an ornamental surface finish, for example, which adds character. Other finishes like our frosted glass option then provide more privacy while still allowing much light to flow into interiors.

Further upgrades are also available, such as triple glazing (the addition of a third pane), or the integration of foil interlayers for enhanced break-in protection.
