Although their tested performance in parameters of noise insulation and energy efficiency is somewhat lower than the Casement, Awning or Tilt & Turn Double Glazed Window styles, this is a consistent result when compared to windows made from other frame materials. In fact, regardless of the frame material, (glazing and hardware being the same), sliding windows are not expected to perform as well as other window types such as Casement, Awning & Tilt & Turn. Nevertheless, our Upvc Sliding Double Glazed windows are much more energy efficient and acoustically superior to any ordinary sliding aluminium window, even though they are only marginally more expensive.
