Do You Want Extra Panes On Your Windows?

When you are in the midst of a Roseville, VA window replacement project, there are a lot of details that have to come together. You need to choose a material, a style, a color, and many other things. But you don’t want to forget about the glass on the windows. It’s what makes the windows windows, after all, and it’s very important to the overall impact the models have on your home. When you are looking at windows, you have two general options: double or triple pane glass. If you have single pane glass on old windows now, anything more than that will make a huge difference. But there are good reasons to add a third pane of glass as well. Here are a few things extra panes can do for you on new windows:

Extra Insulation

One pane of glass doesn’t do much, but two panes will give you added insulation against the outside elements. Air doesn’t move so freely along longer and if you add a third pane, that air stops even easier. You get added insulation with every pane you add and that reduces your energy bills even further.

The Between Layers

When you add a layer of glass to your windows, that pane isn’t sitting flush against the other pane of glass in the frame. Instead, there is a space between those panes, which only insulates the home more. Normally, that space is filled up with air, which helps your home retain the temperature-controlled air inside. But you can also add an invisible inert gas between those two panes to stop even more air. Argon and Krypton gas are both harmless, but they are denser than air and can give your home further comfort. When you place them between double pane glass, they work great. When you have two layers between triple panes, it’s all that much better.

Reduce Noise Pollution

If you live near a busy street or have noisy neighbors, you appreciate every portion of peace and quiet you can get. Upgrading from single to new double pane glass windows will make a huge difference, but triple pane will take things even further. You won’t believe the things you can no longer hear—and you’ll love it.
