Insulating Glass Units
SPACERS AVAILABLE
TYPES OF PANES
-
Dual Pane Insulating Glass Unit:
-
Consists of two layers of glass separated by a spacer, typically filled with air or argon.
-
Provides basic insulation against heat loss or gain compared to single-pane windows.
-
Offers some soundproofing benefits over single-pane windows but is less effective than triple-pane units.
-
Generally more cost-effective than triple-pane windows.​​
-
-
Triple Pane Insulating Glass Unit:
-
Consists of three layers of glass with two spaces (cavities) filled with air or argon.
-
Provides significantly better insulation compared to dual-pane windows, reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency.
-
Offers superior soundproofing properties, making it effective in reducing external noise.
-
Typically more expensive than dual-pane windows due to the additional materials and manufacturing complexity.
-
-
Single Spacer Triple Pane Insulating Glass Unit: *COMING SOON*
-
Consists of three layers of glass with two narrow, carefully sealed spaces (cavities) filled with insulating gases such as argon or krypton.
-
Delivers enhanced insulation compared to dual-pane windows, minimizing heat loss and boosting energy efficiency.
-
Provides exceptional soundproofing capabilities, significantly reducing external noise.
-
Generally more costly than dual-pane windows due to the advanced materials and intricate manufacturing process.

Additional Options
GRIDS
Grids, also known as muntins or grilles, are decorative or structural elements that divide windows into smaller panes. They add architectural interest and style, ranging from traditional to modern designs, and can be placed externally or between layers of glass. Grids enhance the aesthetic appeal of windows while sometimes serving practical purposes like mimicking historic window styles or providing structural support.
CAPILLARY TUBES
Capillary tubes in windows are tiny channels made of metal or plastic that regulate pressure between the glass panes in insulated units. They prevent condensation and maintain clarity by facilitating air or gas exchange, ensuring effective insulation and longevity of the window.
ARGON
Argon gas is commonly used in windows as a superior insulating material. It is a colorless, odorless gas that is denser than air, which helps reduce heat transfer between the interior and exterior of a building. When filled between the panes of double or triple-pane windows, argon gas improves energy efficiency by minimizing heat loss in colder climates and heat gain in warmer climates. This inert gas is non-toxic and stable, making it safe for use in residential and commercial windows. Argon-filled windows contribute to lower energy bills and increased comfort by maintaining consistent indoor temperatures throughout the year.
PROTECTIVE FILM
Protective film on windows is a thin, transparent layer that shields against scratches and can improve safety by holding shattered glass together. It also provides damage protection for the insulating unit from manufacturing to final installation.
