Two panes of glass with insulating gas in between offers better temperature control and energy savings.
If you have single-paned windows in your home, you may want to consider updating them with double-paned windows. Double-paned windows have several advantages, but the most popular benefit is that they are more energy-efficient than single-paned windows, which keeps your home comfortable and saves you money! The energy savings you earn from these windows makes it well worth the cost of replacing your old windows. Read on to learn more about modern double-paned windows.
How Double-Paned Windows Save Energy
The biggest difference between double-paned and single-paned windows is, of course, that double-paned windows have two panes of glass instead of one. The small space between the two panes of glass is filled with gas that provides insulation. Modern double-paned windows can be up to 50% more insulating than single-paned windows, which means that you stand to save up to 50% on your energy bills by switching to double-paned windows!
Increased Comfort
Extreme outdoor temperatures can make your home or business uncomfortably hot or cold. Two panes of glass with a layer of insulating gas in between makes it difficult for these outdoor temperatures to permeate your home. With increased insulation comes decreased drafts, so you will no longer have to feel cold drafts when you walk through your home barefoot. Luxuriate in the increased comfort from double-paned windows!
Sound Dampening
Often overlooked are the sound-dampening qualities of double-paned windows. Not only will your home be insulated from extreme temperatures, but sound will find it difficult to make it through the two insulated panes of glass as well. If you have a home or business near a busy road, railroad tracks, airport, or simply if you have noisy neighbors, you can reap the benefits of the peace-and-quiet offered by double-paned windows.
