All homes experience varying temperature changes, which takes a toll on windows. Windows are the primary source of temperature exchange in any building. If they are not appropriately sealed, drafts will make the occupants uncomfortable and increase energy costs. Glass Doctor® of Kansas City will install double pane windows (insulated glass units) in your home to regulate the interior temperature and climate.
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.
