Understanding Double Glazing
Double glazing has become a standard feature in our garden cabins, valued for its ability to enhance comfort, reduce energy bills, and improve overall living conditions. But how does double glazing work, and what are the benefits that make it such a popular choice? In this blog post, we'll delve into the functionality of double glazing and explore the myriad benefits it offers to cabin owners.
1. How Double Glazing Works
Double glazing consists of two panes of glass separated by a space filled with either air or a gas, such as argon or krypton. The units we suppply are filled with argon gas. The space between the glass panes acts as an insulating barrier, reducing heat transfer between the inside and outside of the property. This thermal barrier helps to keep the interior of the building warmer in winter and cooler in summer, improving overall comfort levels and reducing the need for heating and cooling.
2. Benefits of Double Glazing
a. Improved Insulation: The primary benefit of double glazing is its ability to improve insulation. By trapping a layer of air or gas between the glass panes, double glazing reduces heat loss through windows and doors, helping to maintain a more consistent indoor temperature and reducing the reliance on heating and cooling systems.
b. Noise Reduction: Double glazing also provides excellent sound insulation, helping to reduce external noise levels and create a quieter, more peaceful living environment. This is particularly beneficial for homes located in noisy urban areas or near busy roads.
c. Energy Efficiency: By reducing heat loss and minimising the need for artificial heating and cooling, double glazing can significantly improve the energy efficiency of a property. This can lead to lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions, making double glazing an environmentally friendly choice.
d. Enhanced Security: Double glazing offers improved security compared to single-glazed windows, thanks to its reinforced construction and toughened glass. This can help to deter intruders and protect your cabin from forced entry, enhancing the safety and security of your garden building.
e. Reduced Condensation: Double glazing helps to reduce condensation build-up on the inside of windows, preventing moisture-related issues such as mould and dampness. This improves indoor air quality and helps to maintain a healthier living environment. Although double glazing hepls reduce condensation, good ventilation is paramount to minimise the build up of condensation.
3. Conclusion: Embracing the Benefits of Double Glazing
In conclusion, double glazing is a highly effective and versatile solution for improving the comfort, energy efficiency, and security of your home. By providing enhanced insulation, noise reduction, energy efficiency, security, and condensation control, double glazing offers a range of benefits that can enhance your quality of life and reduce your environmental impact. Whether you're renovating an existing property or building a new home, investing in double glazing is a smart decision that can deliver long-term savings and comfort for years to come.
We offer three grades of double glazing that allows you to customise your garden building according to its intended use :

Delivery was efficient, all well packaged and protected from damage. Constructed by three of us in one and a half days. Everything fitted perfectly and needed gentle mallet to locate exactly. Instruction book was clear simple and explicit. Thoroughly delighted with the construction and the finish. Very pleased that Martin was able to redraw the design to our specification. Delighted with the whole thing, finish, price and service. Thanks Martin.

Great quality item with simple, concise instructions, easily constructed by the family. Great delivery service. However, the customer service from Garden Adventure was not great; the cabin was a month late arriving, we had to chase for information regarding this as none was forthcoming. The incorrect bearers arrived and although we received a refund we had to chase for this. Not sure I would recommend them but the cabin materials were great.

Seamless ordering, Martin was extremely helpful with all my questions. Delivery was also fantastic with the delivery guy very helpful (it's a big delivery). Took me and elderly father in law 2 days to get it all up and built/weather tight, went together very easily with no issues. I went for the shingle roof, it still came also with felt which could be used as roof underlay. For spec I went for the superior level glazing with toughened glass, also went for the larger logs (68mm) and glad I did as feels so sturdy/insulated although am sure the 44mm would be great also. I Insulated the floor with celotex, could have done the roof but as this is a garden room rather than office etc I didn't go that far. Overall a highly recommended product, for what you get I think it's a very competitive price, much better than others I had seen that weren't so good. The only parts I bought myself were the insulation and guttering (and paint/preserve of course). I want it to last so did two coats of preserve, knotting and two of paint, also have a sealant to go on which is yet to be done. A sprayer really helped/cut down on time. Would not hesitate in recommending Martin to purchase through, helpful all through the process and very quick to respond. 5*

Great cabin. Excellent quality. From the initial ordering and having it customised to my specs, to screwing on the last piece of trim this has been a pleasure. Straight forward to assemble. Had everything but the roof covering done in a day on account of how well it went together. Sturdy high quality build. Could not be happier. This company have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Top marks 👍

Really pleased with our log cabin! Can't believe the quality of the wood. It took the installation team (Lee Stuart and 3 others who were recommended by Martin) 6.5 hours which was really impressive given the weather conditions on the day, and even they said how good the quality was. It is so warm inside and we didn't even have the insulation installed. Great correspondence from Martin from the start to keep us in the loop regarding production and delivery times. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks Martin!
