Double glazing is made up of two layers of glass, with a layer of argon gas in between. This type of glass can be used in Aluminium windows. The gas is a poor insulator, helping heat to stay in your home and making your windows more efficient. As well as trapping the argon gas, the second layer of glass reduces the amount of noise that enters your property, and helps to make your windows stronger and more secure.
Abercraf
Abercraf is a village in Brecknockshire in the county of Powys, Wales and has a population of 696. It is situated in the south of the county in the Upper Swansea Valley, 2.5 miles north-east of Ystradgynlais. It lies just outside of the boundaries of the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Fforest Fawr Geopark.
Abercraf has a background in coal and iron. Thomas Harper, the resident coalowner, established a small ironworks in 1824. The British Iron Company acquired the works a year later for £19,541 and leased minerals on the neighbouring mountain, Cribarth. It was unsuccessful and it finished production in 1826 when they found that costs were exceeding the retail price.
The village has a range of amenities, including pubs, a rugby union club, a primary school and a fire station. It also has a Miners' Welfare Hall, keeping the tradition of its coal mining past.
Abercraf lies among the slopes of the miniature mountain Cribarth, which is known for its 'Sleeping Giant' outline. The Giant is formed from a combination of the natural topography of the mountain and abandoned limestone quarries.
