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:

1. The type and combination of glass panes (low-e glass, clear, or tinted glass)
2. The filler gas separating the glass panes (this could be air or argon gas as it is less conductive of heat energy than air)
3. 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.
4. 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.
