The Top 5 Reasons SILKA Uses Triple Glazing as Standard
Choosing the right windows and doors is crucial to how energy efficient, secure and comfortable your home is going to be. At SILKA, we use triple glazing as standard across our entire range of aluminium windows and doors, including our popular triple glazed aluminium windows, triple glazed bifold doors and triple glazed French doors. Here’s why we believe triple glazing should be your go-to choice for modern living.
- Superior energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is at the forefront of modern home design, and triple glazed aluminium windows are a critical factor in making sure yours performs. With energy costs rising and climate concerns growing, investing in energy efficient solutions is more important than ever. Triple glazing can improve U-values (read our explanation on this heat transmittance measurement here) by approximately 40% compared with double glazing, making your home more energy efficient and reducing heating bills.
- Better solar heat control
With climate change causing hotter summers, controlling solar heat gain is becoming a key concern for homeowners. Triple glazing provides around 20% better solar heat control that double glazing, and with our 25 years’ experience in glazing, your expert SILKA team is on hand to help plan the best placement and orientation for your SILKA Aluminium Windows and Doors, to ensure indoor temperatures are comfortable year-round.
Whether you’re enjoying the sun in your conservatory or relaxing in your living room, SILKA’s triple glazed folding doors will help maintain the perfect indoor climate. Our glazing technology ensures your home remains a haven, no matter how hot it gets outside.
- Keep the noise out (or in!)
If you live in an urban area or near a busy road, noise pollution can be a constant source of irritation. The extra pane of glass in triple glazing makes a noticeable difference in reducing outside noise, improving acoustic performance by 10-20% compared with double glazing, depending on window or door size.
SILKA’s triple glazed French doors and triple glazed aluminium windows are just two products within our range which are ideal to create a peaceful indoor environment. And they will also work to contain noise within your four walls – if that’s the bigger problem!
- Safety and security
Safety and security are of course top priorities in our homes. Latest research from Neighbourhood Watch shows that 52% of people in the UK consider burglary one of their biggest concerns. Triple glazing offers an added layer of protection for your home. The extra pane of glass makes windows and doors significantly more difficult to break, acting as a powerful deterrent against intruders.
SILKA takes security seriously, which is why our complete SILKA range is designed with toughened and laminated safety glass, as well as being tested to PAS 24 standards, the top security accreditation available in the UK.
- Futureproof and add value to your home
One of the most common misconceptions of triple glazing is that it comes with a hefty price tag. However, at SILKA, triple glazed aluminium windows and triple glazed aluminium doors are standard across our range.
By choosing SILKA, you’re making an investment in the long-term performance and value of your home. With triple glazing as standard, you won’t need to worry about upgrading to meet future regulations, such as the Future Homes Standard in 2025, which will impose stricter energy efficiency requirements on new builds.
