Double Glazing Windows Provide Better Insulation And A New Look

Tired of paying too much on your heating and cooling bills? Have you considered replacing your windows? Perhaps you have realized that if you have old drafty windows that you may be able to save money on utility bills if you change out your old windows. Double glazing windows can provide your home with better insulation and a face-lift.


Double Glazed Windows: An Introduction

Designed to increase insulation and sealed to prevent drafts, double glazed windows are desirable wherever windows are needed. The two panes of glass, separated by a “dead” space that usually contains an inert gas, create an effective thermal barrier between the inside and the outside. Spacers, usually made of thin gauge steel or aluminum, hold the glass in place. To prevent condensation between the panes, desiccant is often installed within the spacer between the glass layers. Manufactured specifically to slow the transfer of heat or cold, double glazed windows are a welcome addition to any room.
