Would appreciate opinions on this subject...
Having asked around in the recent past, both on this forum and local window fabricators & suppliers, there wasn't much enthusiasm for triple glazed windows/doors fitted to typical domestic properties. However, I have quotes from two local fabricators/suppliers for replacement aluminium windows, sliding doors and a standard outer door. I asked for two quotes - for double and triple glazing. Both companies' quotes (including fitting) for triple glazing came in about 8 to 10% higher than for double glazing. That price difference doesn't seem much to me so I'll probably go with triple - unless anyone knows of a downside?
I understand that the gaps between panes will be less with triple glazing due to limits on overall glass width. I've also compared the visual difference between double and triple glazing and, understandably, there's less light getting through triple glazing but it's not a problem in my situation. Thanks for your consideration.
