Investing in energy-efficient double glazing is a smart choice for homeowners in Lancashire looking to reduce energy consumption and improve indoor comfort. Great Harwood Windows offers a comprehensive range of double and triple-glazing solutions tailored to diverse property needs.
Double glazing involves two panes of glass separated by a gas-filled cavity, typically argon, which acts as an insulating barrier. This design significantly reduces heat transfer, keeping homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Triple glazing adds an additional glass pane, offering superior insulation and noise reduction. However, it comes at a higher cost and may require specific frame adaptations. Assess your specific needs, climate, and budget to determine the most suitable option.

Choosing between double and triple glazing can be challenging. Both options offer benefits like improved energy efficiency, noise reduction, and added security. Below, we’ve answered common questions to help you understand the key differences and choose the best option for your home in Lancashire.
What are the main differences between double and triple glazing?
Double glazing uses two panes of glass with a gas-filled cavity, reducing heat loss and noise. Triple glazing has three panes, offering even better insulation and soundproofing. However, it is thicker, heavier, and more costly.
Does triple glazing provide better energy efficiency than double glazing?
Yes, triple glazing improves energy efficiency by reducing heat loss even further. Its lower U-values make it ideal for colder climates or homeowners looking to reduce energy bills significantly.
Is triple glazing worth the additional cost?
Triple glazing is more expensive, but it may be worth the investment for homes in noisy or cold areas. Assess your budget and energy savings to determine whether the additional cost suits your needs.
Can all window frames support triple glazing?
Not all frames can handle the extra weight and thickness of triple glazing. Check whether your existing frames are compatible, especially if you’re upgrading from older double glazing.
Do both double and triple glazing reduce noise?
Yes, both reduce noise, but triple glazing is more effective due to the extra glass pane. It’s a better choice for properties near busy roads or noisy environments.
