Why You Need a Replacement Double Glazed Window

Double-glazed windows help keep heat inside your home and reduce energy loss. They also keep cold air out and stop outside noise. Replace any broken glass panes as soon as you can. Moisture between the panes of glass can cause damage to frames and cause health issues such as mildew and rot.

Low-E Coating

The emissivity of a window is a crucial factor in its energy efficiency. The less emissivity is lower, the less heat is able to pass through the glass and into your home. This is achieved by applying a reflective coating on the glass. There are many different types of low E windows. Some are more costly than others, but they're worth the investment because they can reduce your cooling and heating costs significantly. This article will go over what a low-E windows is and how it operates, as well as the different types of low-E glass.

Low-E windows feature a microscopically thin layer of glass that is transparent and reflects heat instead of absorbs it. This allows you to keep your home warm during winter by reflecting solar thermal heat back into the house and cool in summer by limiting the heat gain through the windows. The coating helps prevent furniture and fabrics from discoloring by blocking harmful UV (ultraviolet) light.

Low-E windows also allow plenty of natural light to enter your home without absorbing too much UV radiation. This is unlike other solutions that block glare, such as traditional thermal films, awnings and drapes, which can reduce the amount of visible light and create an unattractive dark look.

Three factors influence the performance of windows: visible light transmission solar heat gain coefficient, and U-factor. Visible light transmittance measures the amount of visible light that goes through the window, and solar heat gain coefficient and U-factor measure the speed of heat transfer. The lower the U-factor and the greater the SHGC the higher the efficiency of the window.

The addition of a low-E-soft-coat film to double pane windows will enhance their insulating properties by reducing their emissivity to 0.05. Combining low-E glass with other insulating technologies, like warm edge spacer bars or argon-filled cavities could produce a U-factor less than 0.9%.

One of the most common reasons to replace double pane windows is because the seal between the two panes has failed. This can lead to condensation between the panes, which could damage the frame and sag the glass. It is essential to replace the insulated unit (IGU), as soon as you can, to avoid this issue.

Easy to clean

Double-glazed windows are comprised of two panes separated by an air layer and the spacer. This creates insulation. The air can move freely between both panes of glass making them easier to clean. This is especially helpful if the window is filled with gases, such as Krypton or argon, which can boost energy efficiency.
