About Double Pane Windows

Double pane windows, commonly called insulated glass units or IGUs, are the most energy-efficient windows for your home. The window consists of two glass panes that are pressed together and have an airlock of gas (typically argon) in between those panes. In addition to the second pane, the gas stops airflow in its tracks, allowing your home to retain heat in the winter and cool air in the summer.

Additionally, IGUs provide a variety of benefits, including:

• Reduction of outside noise.
• Improved energy efficiency.
• Condensation Reduction
• Increased Security.

Double Pane Window Repair

Air leaks are among the most common issues seen in double pane windows, also known as insulated glass units (IGUs). When you have a leak, it means your windows aren’t working at peak efficiency. You may begin to have foggy windows, which need to be repaired immediately.

Double pane window repair is limited to replacing single panes of glass or repairing mechanical window elements (cranks, handles, etc.) Contact Glass Doctor of Calgary for an inspection to determine if your window is a good candidate for repair or if replacement is a better option.
