What is the difference between triple glazed windows and acoustic reduction windows?

Double glazing is the bare minimum requirement for newly built homes, and some people often opt for triple glazing or acoustic reduction windows (which are double glazed). We’ve listed the benefits of both options below.

Triple Glazing

R

ENERGY EFFICIENT

Triple glazing gives you a slightly lower U value over double glazing so in certain circumstances it can be more energy efficient.

R

SOUND REDUCTION

It also has slightly better sound reduction properties and typically reduces sound by an additional 4db over double glazing .

R

MORE SECURE

Triple glazing is more secure than double glazing.

Acoustic Glazing – Sound Reduction Windows

R

SOUND REDUCTION

If noise is an issue the some form of sound reduction glazing may be the answer. Sound reduction glazing is made up of a 10mm pain to the outside environment and a 4mm low e pain to the inside and either a 20 or 14mm spacer bar.

R

28MM THICKNESS

A double glazed window is made up of 2 pains of 4mm glass with a 20mm spacer bar in the middle – Hence where the 28mm profile comes from.

R

BETTER PERFORMANCE

This type of glazing outperforms triple glazing by reducing sound levels inside the room. You also get a slightly more thermally efficient window too.

R

LIVE ON A MAIN ROAD?

Where noise is an issue or you live on a main road or simply want a nice quiet sleep, then we recommend acoustic glazing over triple glazing.

ENERGY EFFICIENT DESIGN

All casements can be supplied to achieve the necessary WER (Window Energy Rating). We ONLY fit “A Rated” windows.

Energy Rating

With the ever increasing rise in fuel costs there has never been a better time to make sure you save as much energy, and money, as possible.

A staggering 26% of all domestic heat loss escapes through the windows! By using our windows you could save money on your heating bills each and every year. Our advanced coating technology reflects radiated heat back into the room, rather than allowing it to escape through the windows. At the same time it allows free heat and light from the sun to pass through the glass.

The result? Lighter, brighter, warmer and more energy efficient homes thanks to advanced thermal insulation, from Poppy Windows.

Make cleaning your windows effertlessly simple with tilt and turn windows

The Tilt and Turn range features a dual opening mechanism for security, safety and practicality.

By twisting the handle to 90 degrees, the sash tilts inwards to provide gentle ventilation; when turned to 180 degrees the side hinges engage to enable the window to be fully opened for ease of cleaning or fire escape.

With looks that will last, seamless sightlines and ease of installation, this is the professionals’ choice.

Plain, pseudo casement and dummy transom styles are available with many options and accessories relating to glass design, performance, colour and ironmongery. Security is not compromised either, Tilt and Turn windows can be fitted with a variety of hardware and locking options and also conform to BS 7950 high security status.

The POPPY view on Tilt and Turn windows is that if you like to clean your windows yourself then these windows are great. They allow you to open the window inwards and to safely clean them.
