There are many types of spacer systems between glass panes, and each type has different performance properties as it relates to gas retention. We utilize the Intercept Spacer System, which provides unparalleled gas retention, with a loss of less than .1% per year. This means that after 10 years, less than 1% of the gas will have escaped, per testing from the prestigious Rosenheim test performed by the Window Technology Institute (RAL) of Rosenheim, Germany.

Do I really need triple pane glass? Will dual pane glass suffice?

Reasonably priced triple pane is certainly not overkill no matter where you live. A good triple pane window can offer an overall R-value in excess of 5, block up to 95% of all UV rays, and reduce outside noise by as much as 50% over standard dual pane windows. The Department of Energy advises that a triple pane R-5 window is 40% more efficient in the home than standard dual pane windows with Low-E and Argon. Modern technology has made triple pane much more cost effective giving you a quicker return on your investment.

Even the most air tight window will feel drafty if it isn’t installed properly. There are specific installation methods recommended to ensure proper insulation that an experienced window installer will be familiar with. We utilize modern technology and materials like synthetic wool pile/mylar fin weatherstripping and foam filled compression seals to effectively protect against air infiltration.
