It's What You Can't See That Matters Most

Glass might be transparent but it makes up a significant part of every window. When buying new windows, many focus on the style and frame colour without considering how important the type of glass is. You might think that glass is just glass, but, not all glass is the same. Glass comes in varying thicknesses, clarity levels and coatings, all imperceptible to the human eye, but choosing the right glass can improve your home's energy efficiency, security and noise reduction.

The Importance of Glass

Different Glass Types for Different Needs

There are several types of glass you can choose for your windows and doors depending on the needs and problems in your home. Whether it's energy efficiency, safety or protecting furniture from UV damage we have the right glass to solve the problem.

Different glass types

Everest glazed units are made from a combination of glass types

A Combination of Glass Types in Every Glazing Unit

A double glazed window has 2 panes of glass and 4 faces whilst a triple glazed window has 3 panes and 6 faces. In an individual window unit, different types of glass can be used and by combining these, we can create specific windows and doors to meet different needs.

Individual Glazing Units for Rooms Just as Individual

If different problems in different rooms are an issue, the right specialist glass unit for each room will make a significant difference. By selecting the right type of glass for each room, you can optimise to ensure maximum comfort, security and energy efficiency in your home. Don't feel you have to have a house full of the same glazing.

The Everest Glass Range

Energy Saving Glass

All our casement windows incorporate a pane of low emissivity glass, featuring a microscopic coating that allows thermal energy to only travel one way through the pane, This allows the sun’s heat to enter but then locks thermal energy into your home. This trapping of thermal energy helps to contribute towards our market leading A++ BFRC energy rating, and helps you to reduce your energy bills.

Security Glass

With the use of a plastic laminate which is invisible to the human eye, our security glass makes forced entrance through our windows a tough challenge to crack. Drastically slowing criminal entry, our security glass creates a second ring of invisible protection round your home. In addition the laminate considerably reduces UV light penetration into you home reducing problems such as furniture fade or scorched wooden floors.

Safety Glass

By heat treating our glass, we can significantly increase the strength of each pane. This results in a pane of glass which is suitable for areas of your home that might be a safety concern such as our patio doors and potential fall areas such windows on a staircase. Our trained surveyors will look for particular high risk areas and provide direction on where we should add this option to your home, keeping you and your family stay safe in your home.
