Example of our glazing services

Low Emissivity Glass
We recognize that a well-insulated home can save money on heating, so we offer our special “Low e” glass (sometimes referred to as “K” glass), for customers that are looking to lower their home heating bills by retaining more heat in their house.

Low Emissivity glass is only available for double-glazed windows, but can be supplied with either normal or toughened glass. This feature is provided using a metal-oxide layer that reduces the infrared radiation transferred between a cold and a warm pane of glass.

This type of glass results in an approximate reduction of energy loss by around 30-50% over standard annealed/toughened glass. Low E glass comes in a choice of two types of coating. “Soft-coat” is applied between panes of a double-glazed unit, because it is easily damaged, and it degrades when exposed to air.

“Hard-coat” can be applied to existing glass installations, and is more durable than “soft-coat”, although the performance compared to it is inferior.

Southgate double glazing 24/7

Express Southgate glaziers offer a complete double glazing service including a local double glazing installer, double glazing repairs and Southgate replacement double glazing.

Double-glazed units take approximately two to three days to order, and all our units come with a manufacturers guarantee. If requested, we can replace the vacuum between the glass panes with a layer of Argon gas, to further facilitate heat management. We can also supply and install triple-glazed units on request for Southgate and the local area.
