uPVC Window Glass Thickness Explained

Glass thickness affects strength, sound, and safety. Here's what to know.

Why glass thickness matters

Thicker glass, and multiple panes, add strength, sound dampening, and safety. The right thickness depends on the pane size and what the window needs to do.

What to know

Look for this

  • Thicker glass — more strength and sound dampening
  • Larger panes need thicker or toughened glass
  • Double glazing uses two panes with a gap
  • Laminated glass bonds panes for safety and quiet
  • Matched to the opening's size and need

Why it matters for your windows

We specify glass thickness and type to suit each opening — larger or exposed panes get thicker or safety glass, noise-exposed rooms get laminated or double glazing.

Questions

Frequently asked

What glass thickness do uPVC windows use?

It depends on the pane size and purpose — thicker or toughened glass for larger panes, laminated or double glazing for noise and safety. We specify it per opening.

Does thicker glass reduce noise?

Thicker and laminated glass dampens sound better; double glazing helps most. We match it to the room.

Is thicker glass safer?

Larger panes benefit from thicker or toughened safety glass, which we specify where needed.
