Glazing Types
A typical clear, double-glazed unit has two lites of glass, with the inner and outer layers of glass both being clear and separated by an air gap.
Understanding the parts of a double glazed window can simplify both installation and maintenance. A clear visual representation helps to identify each component's role in ensuring insulation and energy efficiency. The window typically consists of two panes of glass, separated by a spacer bar that creates an insulating air gap.
A typical clear, double-glazed unit has two lites of glass, with the inner and outer layers of glass both being clear and separated by an air gap. Double glazing, compared to single glazing, cuts heat loss in half due to the insulating air space between the glass layers.
The glass is the transparent part of the window that allows light to enter. It can be single-pane, double-pane, or even triple-pane, offering various levels of insulation and energy efficiency. A pane refers to a single sheet of glass within a window.
The glass panes are separated by a "spacer". A spacer, which may be of the warm edge type, is the piece that separates the two panes of glass in an insulating glass system, and seals the gas space between them.
