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.
Isle Of Benbecula
Benbecula is an island of the Outer Hebrides, in the Atlantic Sea off the west shore of Scotland. In the 2011 census it had a generally resident population of 1,283, with a substantial portion of Roman Catholics. It creates part of the area carried out by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar or the Western Isles Council. The island is about 12 kilometres from west to eastern and also a similar distance from north to south. It lies between the islands of North Uist and South Uist; it is attached to both by road causeways. Traveling to any one of the various other Hebridean islands, or to the British mainland, is by air or sea. Benbecula Airport on the island has everyday trips to Glasgow, Stornoway as well as Barra. A straight solution to Inverness was presented in 2006 however terminated in May 2007. There are no direct ferry solutions from Benbecula to the landmass, yet a service operated by Caledonian MacBrayne from Lochboisdale on South Uist provides a five-hour going across to Oban on the landmass, whilst an additional service from Lochmaddy on North Uist supplies a two-hour crossing to Uig on the Inner Hebridean island of Skye, and also thus to the landmass using the Skye Bridge. Ferry services from the islands of Berneray (connected by causeway to North Uist) as well as Eriskay (connected to South Uist) connect to the other Outer Hebridean islands of Harris and Barra specifically. There is a thick collection of lochs across nearly the entire island, and also almost all of the island is listed below 20 metres in altitude.
