Triple glazing lasts for around 20 years but does vary depending on the quality of the window units and the quality of the installation.

Of course, windows can last far longer than their predicted lifetime and many houses have windows that are over thirty years old - if they've been well-maintained.

It also depends on where the windows are positioned in a property. For example, a south-facing window that gets a lot of sun or a coastal facing property will have a shorter lifespan due to excessive weathering.

Everest triple glazing is two and a half times as efficient as old double glazing and only costs 10-20% more than new double glazed windows.

The superior efficiency of triple glazing can help to create a house that reduces carbon emissions and uses less energy to heat.

Triple glazing also creates more comfort in your home with less cold spots next to windows.

Ultimately, it’s a personal choice based on your own requirements. But, as U-values become more important for homes and can contribute to better EPC ratings, triple glazing is becoming more popular in the UK.

When buying new windows there are a variety of options that make a difference to how much your new triple glazing windows will cost.

Yes they should is the short answer but condensation comes in three forms (on the outer pane, on the inner pane and between the panes) and it’s not always bad news. If it’s on the outside of the house this is good and a demonstration of quality windows. However, if it’s inside the house this is caused by a lack of ventilation and lower quality double glazing – increasing ventilation within the room can improve the issue otherwise new windows would be advised. If the condensation is in between the panes then your unit has failed and is letting in water, which will require a replacement to rectify.

There are several common misconceptions about triple glazing that have been perceived as 'disadvantages'. However, all the raised 'cons' are just misconceptions.

The reality is that triple glazing is a superior product in comparison to single and double glazed windows, especially for energy efficiency, and there are no disadvantages.
