2. Quadruple glazing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadruple_glazing

   They represent a vast improvement over single-pane windows but the potential for even greater energy savings with more highly insulating windows has been elusive. Recent price reductions in the thin glass used in both smartphones and flat-screen TVs, as well as in the krypton gas used in halogen lights, however, have made it possible to build ...

3. Insulated glazing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

   However, since it is difficult to determine whether the gas in an IGU has become mixed with air at time of manufacture (or becomes mixed with air once installed), many designers prefer to use thicker gaps than would be optimum for the fill gas if it were pure. Argon is commonly used in insulated glazing as it is the most affordable.

4. Window insulation - Wikipedia

   Most windows use argon (which is cheaper), but krypton is a better choice of insulation when the distance between the panes has to be smaller (the distance has to be about 13 mm (1 ⁄ 2 inch) for argon, and about 9 mm (3 ⁄ 8 inch) for krypton; increasing or decreasing the space will degrade performance).

7. Glass brick - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_brick

   Glass brick has an r value between 1.75 and 1.96, close to that of thermopane windows. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] There are newer glass blocks injected with argon gas and having a layer of low-emissivity glass between the halves, which increases the insulative (U) value to 1.5 W/m 2 ·K, which is between triple glazed windows (1.8 W/m 2 ·K) and specialty ...
