Types Of Double Glazing Glass
Various glass types are available to suit your performance or style requirements. The standard glass unit consists of 4mm glass on either side of a 16mm argon-filled spacer. We are also able to provide custom combinations, such as obscure glass with laminate or two different obscure glasses in one unit. Our team can assist you in selecting the ideal type for each room in your home.
Below are the different glass types available. We also have them on display at our showroom, 1/17 Townsville St, Fyshwick, where you can experience the difference between standard double glazing and LowE with the AGG heat box.
