How significant is the performance uplift of triple glazing vs double glazing? Significant. InsulCool Ultra Light-E achieves a U-value of 0.768 W/m²·K — a 44% reduction against the Ultra Light-E double glazed equivalent — while maintaining comparable visible light transmission.
Manufactured with a warm-edge spacer system, triple glazed InsulCool units are designed for projects where thermal performance requirements extend beyond conventional double glazing, including passive house, high-rise residential, Green Star, NABERS, and climate zone 7 applications.
InsulCool triple glazed units are now available nationally through Cooling Brothers and @bentandcurvedglass . Learn more about our triple glazing and available configurations online.

A transport hub reimagined.
The award-winning Bulleen Park and Ride is Victoria’s first green roof park and ride facility, combining sustainable landscape design with high-performance glazing.
Fabricated by Spective Group and designed by @pe_architects in collaboration with @cpb_contractors , with glazing fabricated by @spective_group , the project forms part of the North East Link and Eastern Freeway Upgrade. Located at Eastern Fwy & Thompsons Rd, Bulleen VIC, it serves as a key interchange for Melbourne’s growing east.
Cooling Brothers supplied ImagInk™ printed and laminated glass for facade and canopy elements, including 13.52mm Cool-E Grey with ImagInk™ printing to provide shading and architectural definition. Custom laminated Vanceva interlayers were specified to balance daylight, privacy and acoustic performance.
