Glazing Options
4mm Glass
South West Secondary Glazing fit 4mm clear toughened safety glass as standard. But there are other options available:
6mm Glass
Where units are larger and the glass covers a greater area, sometimes there is the requirement to increase the glass thickness to 6mm toughened safety glass. This additional thickness prevents the glass from flexing and will also give a greater barrier against heat loss and provide improved dampening of noise from outside.
Laminated Glass
6.4mm laminated glass offers improved strength. Made up of two sheets of 3mm glass with a 0.4mm laminate inner layer, this glass also offers protection against fading of fabrics by damaging UV rays.
6.8mm laminated glass, otherwise known as "Acoustic Laminate" is the ideal choice of glass in situations where there is excess noise from road, rail or air traffic, or other sources such as factories or night clubs. Using a PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) inner layer it is a high quality acoustic laminated glass that offers excellent noise reduction.
Obscure Glass
Available in 4mm toughened safety glass, many of the Pilkington Obscure glass range are available and can be fitted to all types of secondary glazing.
Other types of glass
