3 Benefits of Double-Paned Windows

What makes a good investment is its ability to give you benefits far beyond what you actually paid for. When it comes to windows, that means looking into the latest advances in window technology. Here at Renewal by Andersen® of Long Island, one of the advances we advocate are double panes for our replacement units. There are three great benefits that make these worth looking into. Let’s take a look at them:

Better Insulation

When you say double-paned replacement windows in Massapequa, what you get are units with two solid glass panes with a void in between, which is usually filled with an inert gas (usually argon). One of the biggest effects of this configuration is to provide you with great insulation. The inert gas helps prevent heat from passing through the glass. Ultimately, this means that your cooling or heating system can operate as normal so the temperature remains comfortable.

Better Noise Reduction

The only way sound can ever pass through glass is if there’s a break in the glass itself. More often than not, what you hear through your windows is reverberations on the glass itself. This is something that is commonly heard in single-paned windows because there is no buffer beyond that one pane. As already discussed, double-paned windows have an all-important buffer in between the panes where noise can be diffused, leaving little to no noise making its way inside.

Greater Energy Efficiency

Lastly, the windowpanes themselves are made from High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass. Paired with the insulating effect noted above, this means you save a bit more off your energy bills too. That effect and benefit is enhanced by the fact that the frames we use are made of Fibrex®. This great material has the strength and durability of vinyl paired with the great look of wood. As a whole, it also contributes to the overall energy efficiency of our windows.
