[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 2837, member: 13"] Thanks Trevor good video. Yes I been thinking about double glazing. Any shiny surface reflects a bit, so for example if you are standing behind a window you don't get quite the full force of the sun as if you were on the other side. So there will be a bit more reflection of heat away, if there is double glazing. On the other hand that will be counteracted by the extra insulation. So the question is if the loss by reflection is more or less than the saving made by the extra insulation. Maybe it depends what you use, glass, perspex, or whatever. In my melter they have gone to the expense of double lining all the stainless steel, yet did not double glaze, which would be a minimal cost compared to double lining the stainless. So I'm wondering if they consider that less important. The piece on top is non reflective, and they say has UV protection built in, maybe that's important I don't know. Anyhow it seems to work, perhaps I'll leave it as it is for now. [/QUOTE]
