Glazing 66
The 66 pane is triple glazed giving a low U-value and providing increased noise reduction. As with the 60 pane glazing, this glazing comes with a laminated inner pane for increased indoor protection. The Anti-dew coating on the external pane minimises the formation of condensation, reducing the number of hours external condensation is present.
