Types of double-glazed windows
Often, this word is called the whole window, but this is absolutely not true! A double-glazed window is a transparent part of the window structure through which light penetrates into the room. Up to 70% of heat loss falls on this element of modern windows. On how high-quality the double-glazed window in the window will depend on the level of heat and noise in the room. The product consists of several glasses, which are hermetically sealed together.
What are the double-glazed windows?
- Single-chamber – such a double-glazed window is made of two glasses separated by a remote frame. Single-chamber double-glazed windows can be made with a width of 12 to 36 mm. In PVC windows, as a rule, single-chamber double-glazed windows of 24 mm are used.
- Two-chamber – this double-glazed window is made of three glasses, each of which is separated by a remote frame. Two-chamber double-glazed windows are made with a width of 24 to 58 mm. The most common are two types of width of double-glazed windows: 32 mm and 40-42 mm.
- Three-chamber differs from two-chamber by the number of glasses installed in its design. Of course, you can offer a double-glazed window with a large number of cameras, but this option raises great doubts about the price / quality ratio.
Components of the double-glazed window:
- Glass.
- A remote frame that can be made of plastic or glass. Inside, the frame should be completely dry, because it is filled with dry air, or an inert gas.
- Sealant. It is laid both inside and outside.
- The inner sealant is a butyl cord that prevents moisture from entering the space between the frame and the glass.
- The external sealant also creates additional protection against moisture, and in addition, serves as an addition to the strength of the double-glazed window.
