Double glazing and triple glazing refer to the number of layers of glass panes in a window or door. The addition of another layer of glass separated by air (or argon gas) and sealed by the frame has significantly better insulation capabilities than a single pane and therefore comes at an extra cost. The performance of double and triple-glazed windows can be influenced by many customisable features, including:
- The type and combination of glass panes (low-e glass, clear, or tinted glass)
- The filler gas separating the glass panes (this could be air or argon gas as it is less conductive of heat energy than air)
- The width of the glass separation (typically between 6mm and 18mm). The larger the gap, the further the heat energy would have to travel before transferring through the next pane.
- The seal of the Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) (moisture is a no-no). This is also linked to the desiccant or drying agent located in the spacers between glass panes.
