Argon Gas? In my Windows?

/in ,

I keep hearing window companies talk about argon gas.  What is it and why should I consider it for my new windows?

That’s a great question! Argon gas is an inert, dense gas that is often inserted in the space between the panes of glass to increase the energy efficiency of a window.  A double-paned window with only air between the panes is more efficient than a single paned window. However, a double-paned window with argon gas between the panes boosts the energy efficiency of the window and generally helps it meet strict Energy Star efficiency standards. You can think of argon gas between your window panes as functioning much like the insulation between your walls and floors.  The insulation helps to keep your home more efficient and comfortable throughout the year.

Seems harmless, right?  Wrong.

When people see energy savings, they think of their utility bills. If someone is told that new replacement windows will save them 35%, they infer that their utility bills will be cut by, wait for it, 35%! Read more
