2. Insulated glazing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

   Fitting a second pane of glass to improve insulation began in Scotland, Germany, and Switzerland in the 1870s. [3] Insulating glass is an evolution from older technologies known as double-hung windows and storm windows. Traditional double-hung windows used a single pane of glass to separate the interior and exterior spaces.

3. Window insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_insulation

   Single glass windows are no longer in general use. [ 4 ] The insulation provided by double or triple glazing can be further improved by selecting windows with low-e coatings , thermal breaks and argon or other similar gas between the panes, and also by selecting windows with high energy-efficient frames.

4. Shading coefficient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shading_coefficient

   It is an indicator of how well the glass is thermally insulating the interior when there is direct sunlight on the panel or window. The shading coefficient depends on the color of glass and degree of reflectivity. It also depends on the type of reflective metal oxides for the case of reflective glass.

   [2] (see also insulated glazing). A typical window insulation film kit, consisting of plastic shrink film (folded-up) and a roll of double-sided tape. One commonly used film is a heat-shrink plastic which is attached to the window frame using double-sided pressure-sensitive tape. A hair dryer is used to remove creases and improve optical clarity.

7. Glazing (window) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glazing_(window)

   Double-paned windows are the norm in new residential installations, as they offer substantial energy savings in comparison to single-paned glass. Each individual glass pane has poor insulation properties, with an R-value (insulation), or measure of an object's resistance to heat conduction, of 0.9. However, when two panes are placed in series ...
