Thermal Insulation Comparison: Single vs. Double Pane
Single-pane windows offer almost no thermal resistance, conducting heat in the summer and cold in the winter.
Performance Indicators
- Single-Pane: U-factor of 1.1+. Conducts temperature changes instantly.
- Double-Pane (Low-E): U-factor of 0.30 or lower. Restricts heat transfer.
- The thermal air pocket cuts HVAC run times, lowering home utility expenses.
