Frequently Asked Questions
Can traditional sash windows be double glazed?
The timber frames on traditional sash windows are usually too narrow to fit modern double glaze units. That is where Slim Glaze Heritage by Rathmines Glass comes in. The extra skinny double glazed units are designed exclusively for sash windows and are made to fit even the narrowest timber frames.
Why are double glazed units better than single glazed?
Double glazed windows consist of two glass panes with an insulating gas filling the gap between them. This means that double glazed windows are much better for heat retention and energy efficiency. Double glazed windows allow for up to 77% heat retention compared to single glazed windows 30%.
Can SlimGlaze windows be installed on listed buildings?
Yes. Many of the period buildings in Ireland are under protective orders, this means that you are not allowed to alter the appearance of the building. Slim Glaze Heritage units fit into the exiting timber frames so you can upgrade the building’s windows without affecting the look or appearance.
