DOUBLE-GLAZE Meaning and Definition

  1. Double-glaze (verb):

    1. To install or equip with two layers of glass or other transparent material, with a sealed space between them, in order to improve insulation and reduce noise transmission.

    2. To add a second layer of glazing to an existing window or door, typically for the purpose of enhancing insulation and reducing heat loss.

    The process of double-glazing involves creating an airtight space between two sheets of glass, often with an insulating gas or vacuum filling, providing enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation. This technique is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings to improve energy efficiency, reduce heat transfer, and minimize external noise intrusion. Double-glazing acts as a barrier, preventing the escape of heat during cold weather and reducing heat gain in hot climates. It creates a more comfortable indoor environment while reducing reliance on artificial heating or cooling systems, thus promoting sustainability and energy conservation.

    The benefits of double-glazing also encompass its ability to limit condensation on windows, as the interior pane remains closer to room temperature due to the insulating gap. This condensation reduction feature helps to maintain a clear view and prevent moisture-related damage to window frames and surrounding areas. By improving insulation and reducing noise transmission, double-glazing offers a cost-effective method to enhance the comfort, energy efficiency, and overall quality of a building's interior environment.

Etymology of DOUBLE-GLAZE

The etymology of the word "double-glaze" can be understood by breaking it down into its two components: "double" and "glaze".

1. Double: The word "double" comes from the Old French word "dooble", which originated from the Latin word "duplus". "Duplus" means "twofold" or "double".

2. Glaze: The term "glaze" has its origins in the Middle English word "glasen", which came from the Old English word "glæsen". Both these terms refer to the process of fitting with glass, giving the sense of a smooth, glossy, or reflective surface.

When combined, "double-glaze" refers to the process of fitting two panels of glass with an insulating space in between them. This technique is used to improve insulation, reduce noise, and enhance energy efficiency.
