Triple paned Windows - Flower Mound Tx.
Triple Paned Windows
The term “Triple Pane” refers to the interior, center and exterior pieces of glass that constitute an insulated glass unit (ICU). When each piece of glass is separated by a non-conductive spacer and installed into a window frame, the entire unit becomes much more energy efficient than if only one or two pieces of glass were used. If Argon gas is then used to replace the air between these three pieces of glass, the unit becomes even more energy efficient.
It is possible that a ‘Low E Film’ could reduce the amount of UV (heat) light that passes through a single pane window. However, these films can be easily scratched and washed off of a single pane. If two or three panes of glass are used, the film would be applied to the inside surface of one of the panes.
The term “Triple Pane Windows” has been synonymous with energy efficiency for the past 20 years. However, not all triple-pane windows are also ‘Low E’ windows and depending upon your region and climate, Double pane windows might be a more desirable option.
Quick Quote
- Vinyl Replacement Windows are specifically manufactured for energy efficiency.
- Vinyl Frame is less conductive and resists heat transfer. Vinyl Windows also adjust to the natural movement of the typical North Texas home.
- A reflective mixture, added to the glass, allows visible light to pass while resisting UV (heat).
- Not only are there two panes of glass but each is very thick and divided by a large gap that is filled with dense gas.
- The same things that make a window energy efficient also make it sound efficient.
- Vinyl Window Frames conduct less sound than metal (aluminum / steel) window frames.
- Because the window doesn't conduct as much heat, the seals never heat up to the point of failure that would allow sound to pass.
- Thicker glass, along with Laminated Glass and dissimilar glass, available with replacement windows can drastically reduce sound transmittance.
- Vinyl Replacement Windows tilt inward. Cleaning the outside glass from inside is easy. No more ladders.
- Grids of Vinyl Replacement Windows are installed BETWEEN the two panes of glass. The result is an interior and exterior solid piece of glass with no grid edges to clean around.
- Most vinyl replacement window sashes can be tilted inward allowing easy cleaning of the exterior glass from the inside of the home.

Heating Season Savings
In climates with a significant heating season, non-energy efficient windows can represent a major source of unwanted heat loss, discomfort, and condensation problems. In recent decades, windows have undergone a technological revolution. It is now possible to have lower heat loss, less air leakage, and warmer window surfaces that improve comfort and minimize condensation. The graphs below illustrate the simulated savings in heating season costs associated with energy efficient windows for a typical house in a heating-dominated climate. The savings shown do not include possible savings from reduced air leakage. Depending on the condition of the old windows in an existing home, the savings can be higher if window replacement leads to long-term air leakage reduction.
