Double glazed windows are windows that are made of two panes of glass in the frame of the same window. There is a gap between the two panes of glass which can be anywhere from 6mm to 12mm wide. The space is filled with standard air or it can be filled with a special gas like argon. Double glazing can be applied to many different types of windows including sliding, openable, curtain wall, double-hung, fixed, and more.
The single-pane window with a single sheet of glass is an old style that has been replaced by the more popular and energy-saving double pane windows. Double glazed windows are now standard for both new build and replacement windows. For maximum insulation, triple pane windows are sometimes recommended in harsh weather conditions.
Advantages of double Glazed windows
Although glass itself is not a thermal insulator, it can seal and retain a buffer from the outside. Double-pane windows offer a significant advantage when it comes to home energy efficiency, providing a better barrier against outside temperatures than single-pane windows.
The space between the glass in a double-pane window is usually filled with an inert (safe and non-reactive) gas, such as Argon, Krypton, or xenon, all of which increase the window’s resistance to energy transfer. Gas is denser than air, which makes your home significantly more comfortable.
Top 3 Types of Gas That Window Manufacturers Prefer:
- Argon gas is a common and affordable type.
- Krypton is commonly used in triple pane windows because it performs best in extremely thin spaces.
- Xenon is the most expensive insulated gas and is not commonly used for residential applications.
