Argon filled windows.

Argon gas is used to increase the energy efficiency and general performance of thermal windows. Since argon gas is denser than air it contributes to the captive air in double pane windows. Argon filled windows minimize condensation and frost in windows. Thermal windows also called insulated glass units or igu are either double pane or triple pane meaning each section of window has two or three layers of glass with a sealed space in between.

In its most simplistic terms argon gas presents an extra layer of protection for your windows. They come in different sizes and can be installed in different window styles. They help block uv rays. Argon gas windows are energy efficient due to the density of argon gas being heavier than oxygen.

Argon for instance typically increases the insulating r value of a window by only half a point. The result is improved thermal insulation efficiency. The argon gas does not corrode the window material. By keeping the heat or cold air inside the house the windows provide a better insulator than windows with oxygen between the panes.

They are suitable for different climates. In this way the gas between the double paned windows are less effected by convection currents and drafts. The spaces are filled with argon or other gasses to slow the transfer of heat through the window. Insulated glass windows also called double pane glass typically have an r value of around 2 0 to.

Low e or low emissivity coating is a unique microscopic glaze that helps minimize the amount of ultraviolet infrared and visible light from penetrating the glass keeping you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Regardless of the season low e argon gas windows ensure the climate is stable in your home. Argon gas is a chemical element that s generally used in new windows to shield the glass. Double pane windows can be filled with argon gas to help insulate a room and minimize the transfer of heat through the window.
