Expert Double Pane Window Installation in Kansas City
Double pane windows have two or more pieces of glass with an insulating spacer between them that separates the panes of glass and seals the space between each pane. Spacers may be filled with moisture-absorbing material called desiccant or be made from material that makes it a warm-edge spacer. Then, the perimeter of the entire window unit is sealed with a high-grade coating that prevents condensation between panes. Some windows have argon or krypton gas added to the airspace between the panes to provide even more insulation properties.
Benefits of Double Pane Windows
The main purpose of double pane windows is to keep your Kansas City home, but they also have several other benefits, including:

- Condensation Reduction: Double pane windows are less prone to condensation. The insulating layer between the panes reduces the likelihood of moisture build up.
