ᐅ Roof windows with double or triple glazing

Hello everyone,

We are currently reviewing the offer from our carpenter and noticed that the roof windows were only quoted as double-glazed. When I ask around, it seems that everyone is only using double glazing?

So far, I have found out that triple-glazed windows generally don’t have condensation issues. However, in winter, the window also tends not to stay clear of snow.

From an energy perspective, I’m unsure whether it’s worth paying the 300 euros (about $320) extra per window, as otherwise, they might become the weakest part of the house. We only have two windows, so it’s a relatively small extra cost—but it does add up.

What type of glazing have you installed and why?

Thanks,
Andreas

Ok, for us it was just over 2000.. 500 more than for the double-glazed windows.

Although this is a bit older, I just realized that for us it wasn’t about double or triple glazing, but rather triple or quintuple glazing. It was a long time ago, and I had it wrong in my mind. I didn’t want to leave it like that.

Unfortunately, they are not available in larger sizes, probably for good reason.
