Gas Insulated Windows

Some of these windows are insulated with argon gas.

Gas insulated windows. It is this sealed space that gives the window most of its thermal performance. American craftsman brand double pane vinyl windows are very popular with prices beginning at 164 and going up to over 500. Gas insulated windows have this denser element between the separate panels to reduce air infiltration particularly on very windy days. Thermal windows also called insulated glass units or igu are either double pane or triple pane meaning each section of window has two or three layers of glass with a sealed space in between.

The spaces are filled with argon or other gasses to slow the transfer of heat through the window. Such windows are also commonly called thermal windows. Using argon gas in igu s is quickly becoming an industry standard. Added energy efficiency is the key benefit of gas filled windows.

Double pane windows also called insulated or thermal windows are made with two panels of glass sandwiched over a spacer and sealant creating a space between the panes that is filled with air or with a gas usually argon or krypton. Some insulated glass units are still being built using an aluminum spacer. Both argon and krypton are thicker and denser than the flushed air or dry nitrogen that fill the air spaces of most multi paned windows.

Igu s with the super spacer and argon gas can keep the glass up to 10 degrees warmer than a unit with an aluminum spacer. Whether it is just a simple sealed glass sandwich of two glass panes or a more sophisticated igu with coatings and inert gas filling the space between panes these windows can easily double the energy efficiency of the window. Insulated double and triple pane windows officially known as igus insulated glass units offer far better energy efficiency that single pane glass.
