Insulated glass is a special kind of glass that features two panes separated by an inert gas. The layer of gas works to diffuse heat transfer, which means your home stays cool if you want it cools or heated if you want it warm. When the temperature inside can remain steady, it’s more affordable to heat or cool your home all year long.
Wallkingdon Glass is also known as Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) or double-pane or triple-pane windows. Double pane or thermopane windows provide superior insulation to your interior environment. Dual pane windows have two panes of glass with inert gas in between, while triple-pane glass windows offer even more insulation and strength with three panels and two spaces for the inert gas.
