What is Window Glazing?
If you’re planning on having your windows replaced in Sydney, it’s essential that you’re familiar with glazing. Most people mistake glazing for improving the energy efficiency of windows, and although this is partially true, it’s not exactly accurate. Glazing refers to glass used for windows and it’s what’s installed in the window frame.
There are several types and designs of windows, however, they all come with either single or multiple glass panes. Most options with multiple glass panes have two sheets of glass. Windows that are labelled as energy efficient come with double glass panes, and they are commonly known as double hang windows due to their double panes.
In case you need to seal your home further, you can install triple glazed windows. This type of glazing has two panes with a special gap filled in the space between them, in which the gases enhance the insulation.

Types of glass
Ordinary float glass
The standard glass you’ll see in most homes and commercial properties, and what modern windows are made of. It’s known for its flatness and simplicity.
Toughened glass
Commonly used in glass repair work, its main reason is used in most homes and commercial properties are its safety and strength. If the toughened glass is broken, the glass shatters into many smaller pieces.
Laminated glass
Commonly used as a safety glass when security and injury are of concern. If the glass is somehow broken, the shards remain stuck to the inner layer rather then shattering and causing potential injury.
