Superior Thermal Insulation
Reduces heat loss significantly compared to double-paned glass, achieving lower U-values (a measure of thermal transmittance). This makes it ideal for cold climates.
Insulated Glass
Triple Pane Glass
Thompson Innovative Glass manufactures Triple pane glass (also called triple glazing or triple pane insulating glass) that consists of three layers of glass with two insulating air or gas-filled spaces. It provides superior thermal insulation, noise reduction, and energy efficiency compared to double pane glass.
Triple Pane Glass
Thompson Innovative Glass manufactures Triple-paned insulating glass (or triple-glazed glass) and that builds on the principles of double-paned glass by adding a third pane of glass, creating two sealed air or gas-filled spaces. This design offers even better insulation ,and energy efficiency.
Key Components
Three Glass Panes
Three sheets of glass, which may include low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings on one or more panes to further reduce heat transfer and improve energy performance.
Two Sealed Spaces
Two cavities between the glass panes, typically filled with air or an inert gas (Argon) for superior thermal insulation.
Spacers
Two warm edge spacer bars maintain the uniform gaps between each pane. They are often equipped with desiccants to absorb moisture and prevent condensation within the sealed spaces.
Seals
Multiple seals (primary and secondary) ensure the unit is airtight and durable over time.
Key Benefits
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Further reduces energy consumption for heating and cooling, lowering utility bills.
Greater Comfort
Minimizes interior surface temperature fluctuations, reducing cold drafts near windows.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bullet-Resistant Glass
What is triple pane glass?
Triple pane glass (also called triple glazing or triple pane insulating glass) consists of three layers of glass with two insulating air or gas-filled spaces. It provides superior thermal insulation, noise reduction, and energy efficiency compared to double pane glass.
How does triple pane glass work?
The three panes of glass and two sealed airspaces create a highly effective barrier against heat transfer and sound waves. The added layer of glass and gas insulation reduces energy loss and improves comfort in extreme climates.
What’s inside the spaces between the panes?
The spaces are typically filled with argon or krypton gas, which enhances insulation by slowing heat transfer. Krypton gas is denser and provides better insulation than argon but is more expensive.
How effective is triple pane glass for soundproofing?
Triple pane glass provides better sound insulation than double pane glass, especially when asymmetrical panes (different thicknesses) or laminated glass are used. It reduces noise from traffic, planes, and construction.
Can triple pane glass be customized?
Yes! Thompson Innovative Glass has a wide range of options including:
- Low-E coatings for better thermal control
- Tinted or reflective coatings for solar protection
- Laminated glass layers for enhanced security and noise reduction
- Decorative or frosted glass for aesthetics
