In the glazing industry it only refers to one of two things, it is either used to describe the manufacturing of double glazed windows, or it refers to a business, such as a windows Edinburgh company that installs double glazed units in residential homes or businesses. Most customers don’t even realize that the majority of windows in existence required the double glazing services of a local glass company. For the most part any glass installed in a building being used for comfortable work or living conditions is double glazed. Single pane windows offer no benefit other than providing a view, they are considered inadequate and energy inefficient for suitable living conditions.
For those that might still be confused about what the term double glazing services refers to, look at the windows of your house or work place, you should be able to notice two separate panes of glass with a small metallic spacer in between them. This is a double glazed, or (IGU) Insulated Glass Unit, which requires different methods of glazing than the old single pane windows did. Most of the well-established windows Edinburgh companies also offer services for those that still have single pane windows in some of their older buildings or interior portions of a house.
In order to produce IGU’s a windows Edinburgh company has to come to the desired location for the project and measure the openings available for the glass, including width, height and thickness, this is part of the double glazing services they provide for their clients. These measurements are then given to the company being hired to manufacture the IGU’s to specifications. Once the insulated glass unit has been created it is delivered to the glass company performing the service and the customer is contacted to schedule its installation.
These double glazing services are just one of the aspects of the glass industry that these windows Edinburgh companies offer to their customers. There are many other services they provide including special order mirrors, shower door installation, manufacturing screens, replacing broken glass in picture frames and a number of other smaller tasks. Any of these companies that have been successful in business has the potential to perform this type of work. Double glazed windows are the leading resource for continued employment within the glazing industry, everybody uses them and many reasons cause them to fail, requiring constant and continuous replacement throughout the life of the building they are installed in.
Chances are if you are in need of having a window in a house or a business replaced for any reason, you will require the need of double glazing services from whichever windows Edinburgh service provider you elect to hire for the project. Even if it turns out that the window needing replacement isn’t double glazed, the glass company you hire will be able to replace it accordingly without much trouble. Glazing is one of the last remaining industries that continue to be taught first hand as opposed to being offered at a trades school or other institute of higher learning.
