Double Glass vs Triple Glass Windows

Oct 19, 2021

Both double and triple glass windows are designed to improve energy efficiency not only in modern environmentally friendly homes but old ones. Any specialized type of windows can get glazed in double or triple units. As its name suggests, the main difference between a double glass window and a triple glass window is the number of glass of glass was used in the window. In this post, we will walk through the pros and cons of both double glass windows and triple glass aluminum windows.
 

● Double Glass Windows


Double glass windows are much more common than triple glass. The average double glass window will reflect 90% of energy and only let 10% through. Double glass windows have two glass glass ls that are glazed.

They are good at reducing the cost of your energy bill because the insulating gas between the glass reduces heat loss from within the house and the window takes the pressure off your AC system in both the summer and winter. They add more energy efficiency to a house by increasing its heat retention with a system of two glass of glass. Also, the double-glass window has a lower price than the triple-glass window.

● Triple Glass Windows


The typical triple glass window reflects 97% of energy, allowing only 3% to come through. Triple-glass windows can be up to 20% more efficient than double-glass windows and up to 50 percent more efficient than single-glass windows. With three glass of glass, there’s even more room for insulating gasses and less heat loss as a result.

However, the additional glass doesn’t reduce outside noise any more than double glass windows. If you’re looking for noise reduction try laminated glass. Although they will help decrease your energy bill, it could take up to 15-25 years for them to pay off because triple glass windows are made almost exclusively with argon between the glass and feature added insulation at a higher price.

Conclusion

Whether you’re installing double or triple glass windows, their ability to reduce heat loss and keep your home quiet is largely dependent on the accurate installation.

The triple glass window must be the correct choice if you have enough budget.
