Choosing the Right Window Glazing for You
While there are three types of glazing to choose from, it’s sometimes hard to know what’s right for you. So to help out, here are the options we offer and where they work best.
- Double glazing - An all-rounder with the most styles customisations available, can fit every room in nearly every home.
- Triple glazing - Best in cold rooms that get little sunlight. Could be too warm in south-facing rooms. Mix and match with double glazing for best year-round comfort.
- Secondary glazing - Fit behind existing windows, more affordable choice. Perfect for homes in conservation areas and listed buildings where replacement isn’t possible.

Window Glazing FAQs
Window glazing is the glass section that goes into a window frame. It can refer to different types of glazing, including double glazing, triple glazing and secondary glazing. In the case of double and triple glazing, window glazing can refer to the sealed glazed unit. This consists of two or three panes of glass, divided by a spacer bar, with the void filled with argon gas and sealed.
How much double glazing costs per window mostly depends on the size, style and frame material of the window. Other factors that might increase the cost of a single window include specialist or decorative glazing. Extra building work might also increase the cost of a single window, if you have a broken lintel or if you are switching window styles for example.
A glazing bead is a strip of uPVC, wood or aluminium that secures a glass pane to a window sash or door leaf. Glazing beads not only add to the security of a window but also make sure the panes don’t rattle. Our glazing beads are added to the inside of the glass, meaning any would-be intruder would find it very difficult to remove the glass from the outside.
The different types of window glazing are double glazing, triple glazing and secondary glazing. Double glazing is probably the most popular and common within the UK. Triple glazing is becoming more popular among homeowners with the ever increasing need to improve energy efficiency in the home. Secondary glazing sits behind existing windows and is the more affordable option, as well as being ideal for homes where replacement is not possible such as some conservation areas and listed buildings.
