Argon Filled Windows

Insulated glass windows also called double pane glass typically have an r value of around 2 0 to.

Argon filled windows.

In this way the gas between the double paned windows are less effected by convection currents and drafts. Argon filled windows minimize condensation and frost in windows. Argon gas windows are energy efficient due to the density of argon gas being heavier than oxygen.

Argon gas is a chemical element that s generally used in new windows to shield the glass. The spaces are filled with argon or other gasses to slow the transfer of heat through the window. Argon for instance typically increases the insulating r value of a window by only half a point. The cost of installing argon gas windows is recovered in a short time.

They come in different sizes and can be installed in different window styles. Low e or low emissivity coating is a unique microscopic glaze that helps minimize the amount of ultraviolet infrared and visible light from penetrating the glass keeping you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

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.

It s a colorless odorless gas and not harmful in any way if leaking should occur. Argon gas is used to increase the energy efficiency and general performance of thermal windows. Since argon gas is denser than air it contributes to the captive air in double pane windows. The argon gas does not corrode the window material.

The result is improved thermal insulation efficiency. By keeping the heat or cold air inside the house the windows provide a better insulator than windows with oxygen between the panes. In its most simplistic terms argon gas presents an extra layer of protection for your windows. They are suitable for different climates.
