The days of single-pane glazing are not over as long as one might think. A look at the types of windows used over the past 40 years makes this clear.
Single glazing
Until 1978 it was allowed to install single glazed windows in residential buildings.
Insulated glazing
From 1975 to 1994 was the period of insulating glazing. Two panes with an air layer in between achieved.
Thermal insulation glazing:
Thermal insulation glazing has existed since 1995, which combines the two-pane structure with an inert gas filling and a heat-reflecting layer created by metal vapor deposition. This type of disc is still used today.
Triple glazing:
A window with three panes of glass, spaces filled with noble gas and two heat-reflecting layers – this structure can now be described as the current state of the art. These windows are used for low-energy and passive houses. They can also be installed in an old building.
Vacuum glazing:
A look into the near future is vacuum glazing. They dispense with the inert gas filling between the panes and as the name suggests shock them with a vacuum.
