Benefits of Triple Glazing
Why Upgrade Your Guildford 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 Surrey 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 A3 corridor, under flight paths, 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 winds from the North Downs or heavy Surrey 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 Guildford’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 suitable for properties in Guildford’s Conservation Areas?
Yes, but sensitivity is key. Guildford has several designated Conservation Areas, including the town centre, Charlotteville, and Millmead. We install specialist “heritage” triple glazing, including flush sash and timber-effect windows, which replicate the traditional sightlines of Victorian and Edwardian architecture. These allow you to upgrade your home’s energy efficiency without compromising the historic character required by local planning guidelines.
Will triple glazing reduce traffic noise from the A3?
Significantly. For residents in Guildford living near the A3 corridor or the busy one-way system, noise pollution is a major factor. Our triple-glazed units can be specified with acoustic laminated glass. This combination disrupts sound waves much more effectively than standard double glazing, reducing external noise by up to 40dB and making your home a peaceful retreat from the commuter rush.
Do I need planning permission to install triple glazing in Guildford?
For most unlisted residential homes in Guildford, replacing windows falls under “Permitted Development” rights, meaning you do not need planning permission. However, if you live in a Listed Building or a designated Conservation Area, restrictions usually apply. We recommend checking with Guildford Borough Council, and our experienced team can provide advice on ensuring your new windows are compliant.
How much value does triple glazing add to a Guildford property?
Guildford is a high-value property market, and buyers are increasingly prioritizing energy efficiency. Improving your home’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating with A+ rated triple glazing is a smart investment. It not only reduces running costs but also increases the attractiveness of your property to future buyers looking for a “move-in ready” home in Surrey.
How effective is triple glazing at stopping condensation?
It is the most effective solution available. Condensation occurs when warm air hits a cold surface. Because the internal pane of our triple glazing is shielded by two gas-filled cavities, it stays much closer to the internal room temperature than double glazing. This eliminates the “cold spot,” preventing moisture from settling on the glass and reducing the risk of damp or mould on your window sills
