Windows

A double-pane window has two glass panes built into its frame. A window with two glass panes is better insulated than a single-pane window and can therefore lessen your home’s energy usage. That’s why you’ll find that most energy efficient windows have at least two panes of glass.

How Do Glass Panes Help Your Energy Usage?

The glass panes of an energy efficient window will likely have a Low-E coating, which will help reflect heat away from your home in the summer and back into your home in the winter. Usually, a spacer is included between the glass panes to catch hot air and prevent it from penetrating further through the window. This spacer can also be filled with argon, a gas with low thermal conductivity, for additional insulation.

The frames of a double-pane window can also contribute to improved energy efficiency. Some manufacturers build their frames to include a series of internal chambers that act as buffers for heat transfer, in much the same way the spacer between the panes does. These chambers can also be filled with argon. Combining this style of frame with two panes of Low-E glass can go a long way toward improving the insulation and energy usage of your home.
