• The Triple Glazing Question To Be Asked Again

Wednesday 27 March 2024 – a decade on from the original event, warm-edge experts Edgetech will again be asking the ‘Triple Glazing Question’ and offering answers to an audience of hundreds at Coventry’s CBS Arena.

Over a day packed with discussion and debate, attendees will assess whether triple glazing is now destined to become the new normal in British fenestration.

It was on the 10 April 2014 that the sector’s senior figures first gathered at the same venue (then known as the Ricoh Arena) to tackle the issue.

Back then, the consensus was clear – the industry wasn’t ready for a large-scale shift to triple glazing. ‘Clever’ doubles seemed a much more viable solution.

Now inevitable?

Now, the landscape has shifted dramatically. Soaring energy prices and Britain’s net zero commitment have seen triple glazing put back in the spotlight. With the government’s Future Homes Standard fast approaching, some believe an industry-wide transition is now inevitable.

Edgetech MD Chris Alderson says: “Ten years ago, Edgetech held a landmark event that sought to clarify the future of the glass and glazing industry. Triple glazing had existed for decades, yet it remained a niche product. At the first Triple Glazing Question event, Edgetech asked whether that was liable to change. As anyone who attended that day will remember, the answer was a resounding ‘no’.

“Now, we feel enough has changed to warrant asking that question again.”

Registration to be announced

Alderson continues: “In March 2024, we’ll be inviting fabricators, installers, IGU manufacturers, component suppliers and others to join us in Coventry to share their views on one of the biggest topics facing our industry.

“Everyone will be invited to join us to help shape the future of British fenestration and we will be working with TheFabricator.pro to announce more details about the event, including the agenda, ticketing, sponsorship and exhibiting opportunities – so watch this space.
