Replacement Windows: Consider Triple Pane for Increased Energy Efficiency

BOSTON, Feb. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The extreme winter weather has made many homeowners want to increase their efforts in making their house more energy efficient. Many are thinking about triple pane replacement windows to find greater energy efficiency. A triple pane is more effective than a double pane at keeping the cold weather out and the heating bills low.

Triple pane replacement windows are also known as triple glazed replacement windows. These are an investment in long-term heating and cooling savings and increase the value of a home. Though more expensive than a double pane, the additional up-front cost is made up over just a few years in energy savings.

This type of window offers additional surfaces for low-e (low-emissivity) coatings. The technology in replacement windows keeps a house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Low-e glass reflects heat back to its source by using an extremely thin metallic coating. In the summer, the heat from the sun and other objects is reflected back outside. In the winter, the heat from all the items inside the home bounce back into the house.

Low-e coatings also protect people and household items from ultraviolet (UV) light, which damages skin, fabric and wood, and causes fading. It also blocks the infrared (IR) light that causes heat. But this technology does allow visible light, which is the light that allows us to see, to pass through the glass. This further reduces electricity costs during the day.

There are additional insulation benefits to replacing old windows as well. With three panes of glass come two internal fill spaces. These areas are filled with air or argon gas, which act as an ideal insulator. This protects against energy loss and cuts down on outside noise.
