Single or Double Glazing for Bedrooms?

Should bedrooms get double glazing? Here's how we'd decide.

How they differ

Double glazing means two panes of glass with a sealed gap between them. The trapped gap slows heat and sound transfer far better than a single pane can.

Single glazing is one pane of glass. It's simpler and cheaper, and on a sheltered, quiet opening it's often perfectly adequate.

How to choose

Look for this

  • Depends on what the bedroom faces
  • Road-facing — yes, for quiet sleep
  • West-facing — yes, for heat
  • Shaded and quiet — often not needed
  • Laminated helps sleep more than double alone

Our honest view

Bedrooms are where quiet matters most, so a road-facing bedroom is the strongest case for laminated glass and double glazing in the house. A quiet, shaded bedroom needs neither — and we'd say so.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do bedrooms need double glazing?

It depends what they face. A road-facing or west-facing bedroom benefits clearly — quiet sleep and less heat. A quiet, shaded bedroom often doesn't need it.

What's best for a noisy bedroom?

Laminated glass with tight sealing does the most for sleep; double glazing adds to it.

Should every bedroom get the same?

Not necessarily — we'd spec by what each room faces.
