Advantages of Double Glazed Windows

Double Glazed Windows

• Saves Energy – With some extreme climatic conditions, the air conditioners in houses weren’t helped much by the older window panes. The double glazed window with an added layering of the pane and insulating medium of these windows can prevent the exchange of heat between the house and outside. During winters when the heater is on and the outside is freezing cold, it prevents the cold breeze from inside keep your rooms warm. Similarly, during summer, it prevents the exterior heat to enter and keep your rooms cool. Not only that, these windows can also keep your furniture safe by protecting them from the harsh sun’s heat.
• Noise reduction – The added layer of the window pane and spacers create a roadblock to any unwanted sound in the home. You will get a peaceful life by installing these windows and you can reduce the noise pollution level.
• Safety – Based on the design of the item, it is hard to break and therefore, safer from the conventional windows. Also, since they are attached strongly, it makes it tougher to open the window from outside enabling better protection to the home.

Identifying The Right Design

• Space between Panes – Ideally, it is recommended to have a space of 10 mm to 20 mm between the panes to preserve energy at its maximum. A higher gap could give allowance to convection defeating the purpose of the device.
• Choice of Spacers – Due to sealing of the space between panes to provide adequate insulation, there is a need to fill it with the right gas that can effectuate a strong sound resistor apart from prevention heat. A need of drying agent is essential too in order to remove any moisture that is trapped.
• Type of glass for panes – The choice of glass is important because if chosen the right way, they can improve the overall performance of the tool. A thick glass could prevent further acoustic intervention whereas a laminated glass, or glasses that are tinted can prevent further entry and exit of heat.
• Choosing the framing material – The window constitutes a frame as well and if carelessly chosen can negate the positive elements of the pane and spacers. The pane can act as a conducting medium too between interiors and exterior and therefore, needs to be thermally enhanced for better results.
