Look at the Comfort and Savings Insulated Window Glass Can Provide!
When it comes to energy-efficient windows, insulated window glass is a key component for effectiveness. Efficient windows use many technologies and principles to reduce heat transfer between your home and the outside, including thermally-improved frames, low-conductivity materials, and specialized glass. Insulated glass adds the final layer to this combination of measures that creates a highly-efficient end product.
What is Insulated Glass?
Insulated window glass typically consists of two or more panes which are filled with inert gases. These gases don’t conduct heat well, which makes them ideal insulators. By “sandwiching” the gas between window panes, these windows create a barrier for heat energy. Treated glass resists much of the heat it receives from the sun and outdoors, while insulated glass takes things a step further. The inert noble gases used to fill the space between panes, such as krypton or argon, have very low heat conduction potential. They don’t possess free electrons, and their molecules are spaced very far apart relative to solids. Heat is literally stopped cold before it can be transferred through the gas to the interior window panes.
Comfort and Savings
An energy-efficient window that utilizes insulated glass panes won’t transfer heat effectively, and that allows your home’s HVAC system to function using less energy. Heat stays outside your home in the summer, and you won’t lose heat energy in the wintertime. The lack of heat transfer also means that the areas by the windows are as comfortable as the rest of your home—no hot spots or unpleasant drafts to contend with.
