What Is A Double Glazed Windows?

If you're shopping for new windows, you might be confused by the terminology: single pane, double glazing, energy saving...

What are double windows?

Double-glazed windows with two panes of glass in the frame to create a glass sandwich with air pockets to better isolate the room.   They with a spacer and insulating agent like argon between them. Insulation and a second pane of glass increase heat resistance, thereby reducing the effect of outdoor temperatures on the interior temperature of your home.

The glass plates in the double glass are separated by spacers and a still layer of air or gas. The glass is then loaded into the window frame, which widens to accommodate two panes of glass.

Advantages of double windows:

•  It can seal and hold the buffer from the outside. In terms of home energy efficiency, double-glazed windows offer significant advantages, providing better protection against outside temperatures than single-glazed windows.

• Double glazed windows are an ideal energy saving option with the added benefit of minimizing noise. A sealed air gap between the two panes acts as an extra layer of insulation. This increased thermal resistance reduces the amount of heat dissipated in winter and keeps your home at a more comfortable temperature.

•  Double glazing also reduces condensation that can lead to unhealthy mold formation.The sealed double-layer glass can effectively reduce the medium and high frequency noise such as human voice. The difference in glass thickness between the interior and exterior panes will further improve sound insulation.

Double-glazed windows are considered a safer option than standard single-pane windows. Two pieces of glass are harder to break than one, and for greater security, you can specify tempered glass or laminated glass.
