The main advantage of such window systems is their increased thermal insulation qualities. Double-glazed windows save heat as much as possible in winter, and keep the house cool in summer and do not let warm air inside. The daylight goes through the window, but the heat stays outside. As already noted, this very important characteristic of insulated windows allows you to reduce the cost of paying electricity bills all the year round.

We will face discomfort, if the noise level drops below this index. Sound proofing ability depends on quantity of air chambers between the glass panes, the distance between the pieces of glass, quality of sealants and fittings, and on quality of installation works (even the most expensive windows won’t guarantee their features if installation was not done correctly).

A window with two glass panes is already a better protection compering to a single glass unit. However, you can always advance protection characteristic by implementing impact-resistant glass – this is a type of the glazing with increased strength ability. It is manufactured using different technologies – from tempered options to the application of a special film. The benefits are obvious: invisible – therefore convenient, economy of space, etc.

Windows are the coolest places in the building, and glazing units are their major parts. Low-emission glass can be used in combination with ordinary pieces of glass for the sake of energy saving ability. This is a type of material with the special coating made of various non-ferrous metals oxides. It helps to protect the window from any damage and reduces the emissivity of the glass. Double-pane windows in combination with low-e glass reflect solar radiation and reduce heat loss, increase the room temperature in winter and reduce it in summer.
