    Why Choose

    How Double-Glazed Windows Work

    Double-glazed windows are made up of:

    1. Two Glass Panes

    Any type of glass can be used, including clear glass, tinted glass, laminated glass, or Low-E glass.

    2. Spacer

    Available in sizes from 6mm to 20mm, creating the insulating gap.

    3. Gas Fill

    The spacer is filled with air or argon gas to reduce heat transfer.

    4. Sealed Unit

    The entire unit is hermetically sealed to prevent moisture and dust from entering.

    This design helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, reduce energy bills, and improve acoustic insulation.

    Applications of Double-Glazed Windows

    Double-glazed windows are versatile and widely used for insulation and noise-reduction benefits across residential and commercial properties. Common applications include:

    Windows

    Improve energy efficiency and reduce condensation.

    Glass Doors

    Durable and insulating for entryways and patio doors.
