Most double glazed units (DGUs) in the UK are made up of:
✅ 4mm clear glass / 20mm cavity (filled with Argon gas) / 4mm Low-E glass
✅ Total unit thickness: 28mm
This is the industry standard for most uPVC window manufacturers.
Example Double Glazed Units:
Glass Make-Up | U-Value (W/m²K) | Thickness |
4mm clear / 20mm Argon / 4mm Planitherm Total+ | 1.2 | 28mm |
4mm clear / 16mm Argon / 4mm Planitherm One | 1.0 | 24mm |
