Is Triple Glazing Worth It?

Here at Wheatley Windows & Doors, we work with double glazing every day. It's the industry standard to fit new windows with double glazing nowadays, and for good reason. Double glazing can improve home safety, as well as provide effective insulation against heat loss and intrusive noises. However, it's got competition and triple glazing is becoming more popular.

As the name suggests, triple glazing is when windows are fitted with three panes of glass instead of two. Triple glazing offers numerous advantages over double glazing but tends to be more expensive. So, this leaves many people wondering; is triple glazing better than double glazing, and if so, is it worth the extra cost?

Simply put, triple glazing is the superior option but before you leap at the chance to install it, consider your budget. Double glazed windows are renowned for their energy efficiency, but triple glazed windows are even better and will make it far easier to manage household temperatures. You'll save more money on your energy bills every month, as well as getting a quieter home. Plus, they add tremendous kerb appeal so can help increase your property value.

That being said, we would recommend caution if you're working with a strict budget. If you can afford the upfront cost of triple glazing, it's definitely worth it in the long run. But if you can't, think carefully before committing. Double glazed windows are still a worthwhile investment if triple glazing raises the asking price too high.
