Benefits of Triple Glazing
Why Upgrade Your Basingstoke Home?
- Significant Energy Savings: Triple glazing delivers superior thermal efficiency compared to standard double glazing, achieving ultra-low U-values. This design locks in heat, helping to lower your heating bills and keep your home comfortable, even during the coldest Hampshire winter snaps.
- Superior Noise Reduction: Enjoy a peaceful sanctuary by reducing external noise by up to 40dB with acoustic glass. Whether you are located near the busy Ringway, the M3 corridor, or in the bustling town centre, our acoustic glass options significantly dampen traffic and street noise for a quieter living environment.
- Enhanced Security: With a third pane of toughened glass and robust internal beading, our units act as a formidable deterrent against intruders. This extra layer of defence provides peace of mind that your home and family are well-protected.
- Condensation Control: Advanced insulation minimizes the “cold spot” effect on the internal pane, virtually eliminating condensation. This helps protect your property’s interior decor and reduces the risk of damp or mould developing on window sills.
- Weather Resistance: Our triple-glazed units are engineered to withstand the elements, ensuring your home stays draught-free and watertight, whether you face the driving rain of North Hampshire or heavy town showers.
- Increased Property Value: Upgrading your home’s EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating is a smart investment. High-performance windows make your property more attractive to future buyers in Basingstoke’s competitive property market.

u-Values - Thermal Performance
Not all triple glazing is the same. For maximum efficiency, the gap between the panes is just as important as the glass itself.
The Gold Standard: 44mm Units
Our premium option uses a massive 44mm sealed unit. This allows for two optimum 16mm cavities filled with Argon gas. This specification fits perfectly into our Sheerline Prestige, Residence 9, and Residence 7 systems, delivering centre-pane U-values as low as 0.5 W/m²K.
The Slimline Option: 28mm Units
Some window profiles cannot accept a 44mm unit. For these, we offer a 28mm triple glazed unit using Krypton gas. Krypton performs better in smaller gaps than Argon, allowing us to achieve excellent thermal performance (U-value 0.60) even in a slimmer profile. Beware this comes with a hefty price tag.

Contact UsImproved Security
Improved security over double glazed windows, due to the extra pane of toughened glass. Internally glazed windows offer added security and prevents the removal of the glass from the outside.
Sound Insulation
There is no major gain having triple glazing with three equal thicknesses of glass. The best solution would be with a thicker centre pane, please enquire for further information.
Heat Insulation
44mm sealed units filled with two 16mm cavities of argon gas. Argon gas is heavier than air, so acts as an insulator
Prevent Cold-Bridging
Warm edge spacer bars made from a composite material to stop the cold-bridge across the unit.
Low-emissivity Glass
Two coatings of low-emissivity glass (Low E). This is a microscopically thin coating that stops the heat from your house going outside.
Plenty of Options
Available in the Sheerline Prestige, Residence 9 and Residence 7 systems as a 44mm unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is triple glazing effective against noise from the M3 and Ringway?
Yes, it is highly effective. We know that for many homeowners in Basingstoke—especially those in Hatch Warren, Brighton Hill, or near the Ringway—traffic noise is a major concern. Our triple glazing options can be specified with acoustic laminated glass. This disrupts sound waves significantly better than standard double glazing, reducing external noise by up to 40dB and turning your home into a quiet sanctuary.
Is triple glazing suitable for Basingstoke’s "New Town" properties?
Absolutely. A large portion of Basingstoke’s housing stock was built in the 1960s and 70s. Replacing the original or older double glazing in these properties with modern A+ rated triple glazing can transform their energy efficiency. It not only updates the appearance of the home but also solves the heat loss issues often associated with properties from that era, making them much cheaper to run.
Do I need planning permission to install triple glazing in Basingstoke?
In most cases, replacing windows falls under “Permitted Development” rights, so you won’t need planning permission. However, if you live in a designated Conservation Area (such as Old Basing or parts of Sherborne St John) or a Listed Building, restrictions will apply. We recommend checking with Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, and our experienced team is always happy to offer guidance on compliance.
How does triple glazing prevent condensation?
Condensation forms when warm, moist air meets a cold surface. Triple glazing virtually eliminates this problem because the internal pane of glass is insulated by two gas-filled cavities and an external pane. This keeps the inner glass much closer to room temperature, preventing the “cold spot” effect. This helps protect your interior decor and reduces the risk of damp or mould forming on window sills.
Will triple glazing add value to my home?
Yes. Basingstoke is a key commuter hub, and energy efficiency is a high priority for buyers looking to manage living costs. Improving your home’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating with high-performance triple glazing makes your property more attractive to potential buyers. It is a long-term investment that improves the comfort, security, and resale potential of your home.
