Vacubel glass, double or triple glazing: the key to optimum comfort
In this article, we highlight an essential aspect of comfortable living: double, triple or double glazing and its insulating properties, which can take any living space to the next level.
Vacubel glass, double or triple glazing: the key to optimum comfort
Double or triple glazing, and now vacuum sealed glass, also known as insulating glass units (IGUs), have gained ground in home design and renovation in recent years. Not only is it a modern addition to any home, it also offers considerable benefits in terms of insulation and energy efficiency.
Bonds and subsidies
1. Obligations
When you buy a home, you will be issued with an EPC certificate indicating the home’s level of energy efficiency. If you receive an E or F certificate, you must renovate the house to at least level D within five years of purchase.
Replacing the existing double glazing with double glazing with higher insulation values is a simple first step. In most cases, the existing joinery can be retained, allowing you to immediately achieve a better energy level with minimal investment.

2. Subsidies for structural or insulating glass
The public authorities will grant you subsidies for all your energy-saving measures. The same applies to replacing existing external glazing with more insulating glass. You receive subsidies from the installation of glass with an insulation value of Ug = 1.0 W/m².K.

The main advantages of insulated glazing
1. Thermal insulation :
Double glazing consists of two layers of glass separated by an insulating layer of air or gas. This structure minimises heat transfer, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. So you can enjoy optimum comfort all year round.
2. Energy savings :
Improved thermal insulation means your heating system has to work less hard. The result is considerable energy savings and lower energy bills. So it’s an investment that pays for itself.
3. Sound insulation :
Double glazing reduces outside noise, making your home an oasis of calm. Whether it’s the noise of traffic or neighbourhood activities, double glazing contributes to a calm and serene living environment.
More benefits :
Reduced condensation :
Double glazing reduces the risk of condensation on the inside of windows, thus preventing the formation of mould and damp problems.
Greater safety
The robust construction of double-glazed windows makes your home even more secure. Double and triple glazing are harder to break than single glass.
