We are in the process of a major renovation project of a 1980 split level bungalow. We are going to install Velfac windows we have some fairly large areas of glazing and a couple of sets of Bifolds.

The question remains whether we should go for the triple glazed units at a cost of about 15% extra or not. House is in the south lakes so we get a bit of weather. Concerns are the possiblity of the external pane getting condensation, reduced light, the upsides being better insulation u of 1.0 vs 1.4, but will it make a real difference?

So the fact we have a two storey glazed elevation facing the morning sun should suggest we go double glazed? Then maybe triple on the shady side of the house?
