Why triple pane windows are the best choice for your home
Windows account for around 12% of a building’s energy use, yet, less than 2% of window sales are energy-efficient triple pane!
One of the reasons for pushback on triple pane/dual chamber windows has been the weight issue: Three pieces of glass weigh 50% more than two pieces of glass, leading to a much heavier window.
Enter “thin glass”!
Thanks to the popularity of smart phones, tablets and flatscreen TVs we now have access to large affordable sheets of very thin (and very sturdy) thin glass—and Alpen is pioneering the movement to use these as the protected center pane in windows.
