A double pane, also known as double-glazed or insulated glass, refers to a window or glass panel that consists of two layers of glass separated by a space filled with air or inert gas, such as argon. These layers are sealed together around the edges to create a single unit. Double pane windows provide better insulation compared to single pane windows because the trapped air or gas acts as a thermal barrier, reducing heat transfer between the inside and outside of a building. They are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings to improve energy efficiency and comfort by reducing heat loss in cold weather and heat gain in hot weather, as well as minimizing noise transmission.

Low-E Coating
In colder regions such as the northern United States and Canada, where winter temperatures frequently drop below freezing, the use of low-E glass in windows serves as a primary defense against the cold. Specifically engineered for residential use, ClimaGuard 80/71 coated glass aims to optimize solar heat absorption while effectively preserving indoor warmth. This solution enables homeowners to enjoy desired levels of natural light while benefiting from enhanced insulation capabilities to keep their homes cozy during chilly weather.
Double pane windows feature two glass layers, each of which can be coated with Low-E material. The first pane, positioned closest to the interior of the home, is followed by the second pane, situated closer to the exterior. At Glassupply.com, the ClimaGuard 80/71 coating will be applied on Surface 3.
ClimaGuard 80/71 coated residential glass is designed to enhance the comfort and energy efficiency of homes in northern regions. This innovative solution selectively allows visible light to enter, naturally brightening and warming homes, while also providing robust insulation to prevent heat loss. With this glass, homeowners can enjoy expansive views without compromising on efficient heating.

Spacers
Spacers are components used in insulating glass (IG) units. They are specifically designed to separate and maintain the distance between the two panes of glass in a double or triple glazed window. Their primary function is to create a sealed airspace between the glass panes, which helps improve the insulation properties of the window by reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior of a building.
Spacers are typically made from materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, or thermally improved plastic. They are engineered to provide structural integrity to the IG unit while also minimizing thermal conductivity to enhance energy efficiency. Additionally, they often incorporate features like desiccants to absorb moisture and maintain the clarity of the airspace within the window.
At Glassupply.com, we currently offer 3 different types of spacers:
