Benefits of Triple Glazing
Why Upgrade Your Berkshire 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 Berkshire 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 M4 corridor, under Heathrow flight paths, or in bustling towns like Reading and Slough, our acoustic glass options significantly dampen 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 damp conditions of the Thames Valley or winds across the Downs.
- 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 Berkshire’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
Will triple glazing reduce noise from Heathrow flight paths and the M4?
Yes, this is one of the main reasons Berkshire homeowners upgrade. Whether you live under the flight paths near Windsor and Slough or close to the M4 corridor near Reading, noise pollution can be intrusive. Our triple glazing can be fitted with special acoustic laminated glass. This significantly disrupts sound waves, reducing external noise by up to 40dB and creating a much calmer, quieter indoor environment.
Can I install triple glazing in a Conservation Area like Windsor or Newbury?
Yes, but you need the right style of window. Berkshire has many historic areas with strict planning controls, particularly in Windsor, Eton, and rural West Berkshire. We offer “heritage” triple glazing options, such as flush sash windows and realistic wood-grain finishes, designed to mimic original timber. These allow you to achieve modern energy efficiency while respecting the traditional character of your property.
Is triple glazing worth the investment for a Berkshire property?
Absolutely. Berkshire is a high-demand property market, and energy efficiency is a top priority for buyers. Upgrading to A+ rated triple glazing improves your home’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, making it more attractive to future purchasers. Additionally, the superior thermal retention means you spend less on heating, offering long-term savings on utility bills.
How effectively does triple glazing stop condensation?
It is the best solution on the market for condensation. In the Thames Valley area, damp and condensation can be common issues. Triple glazing works by keeping the internal pane of glass warm, shielded by two gas-filled cavities. This eliminates the “cold spot” where moisture settles, protecting your window sills and interior decor from damp and mould growth.
Do I need planning permission for new windows in Berkshire?
For the majority of homes in Reading, Bracknell, and Wokingham, window replacement is considered “Permitted Development” and does not require planning permission. However, if your home is a Listed Building or located within a designated Conservation Area, you may need consent. We recommend checking with your local council (e.g., Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead or West Berkshire Council), and our team is happy to help with compliance advice.
