what should i be looking for in double glazing

hi there
we are thinking of replacing our double glazing but unsure of what i should be looking for. the windows in at present are about 15years old and draughty.
what is the differnce with rehu and normall windows, some state they are gas filled and others heat reflecting, ive also heard you can get triple glazing. any advise would be appreciated before we start approaching any firms
thanks

    You would be far better off putting some draught sealing strip round the windows and spending the "saving" on cavity and loft insulation - and some heavyweight lined curtains.

    20 year old windows. Glass and surrounds OK, should last another 5 or 10 years.
