4mm clear
Clear float glass is transparent and offers high visible light transmittance. As such most Ultra Violet (UV) light and solar heat passes through it. Economical but has a high heat loss in winter.
4mm clear / 12mm air gap / 4mm clear
This is a common Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) and contains a thermally effective air gap between the panes. Also acoustically effective and greatly reduces the appearance of condensation.
5mm grey / 12mm air gap / 4mm clear
The tinted pane significantly reduces solar heat and UV transmission as well as light entry. Suitable for those windows receiving major summer sun.

5mm grey/12mm air gap / 4mm clear LowE
The tinted pane significantly reduces solar heat and UV transmission as well as light entry. Suitable for those windows receiving major summer sun

4mm clear / 12mm argon / 4mm LowE
Low E (or low emissivity) glass enhances the insulation value of the double-glazed unit. Consider using with an Argon gas fill in order to gain maximum effectiveness.

4mm clear / 12mm argon / 4mm LowE
This unit maximises the potential insulative properties of an IGU. It’s ideal for room heat retention in winter.
