How Does Double Glazing Work In Your Favor

Windows are a must in everybody's house. You certainly cannot imagine your rooms without any window. These are designed to let in air and light into your rooms. However, your window may not be able to stop the sun rays from heating up your room, or even any heat loss. This is because, windows normally have a thickness of just a few millimeters. Windows with double glazing serve as good insulators. They are designed in such a way that the heat flow can be stopped when the windows are closed, but allowing the light to come in.

So, what is the basic structure that works in making the windows good insulators? A layer of air separates two glass panes. This layer is trapped between the glass panes. This space is insulated very well so that there is no leakage of air occurs between the glass panes. It will not absorb any moisture as well, thus preventing formation of fog in between. There can be a reflective coating on your window or it may remain clear as per your preferences. Naturally, when there are two glass panes in your window, the thickness increases. This obstructs the heat from flowing in to a large extent. Apart from that, another main component which helps in providing appropriate insulation is  the air which is trapped in between the glass panes. The science behind the trapped air acting as the insulator is associated with the motion of the molecules in this air. Heat causes the molecules of a material to move rapidly. These rapidly moving molecules spread the heat by hitting their neighboring molecules during their movement. This phenomenon is known as conduction.  There is very little or no conduction through the air molecules as they are spread apart, thus making it an insulator.

Apart from insulating the heat loss or gain, there are few other benefits which a double glazed window offers. One is, you will be saved from the noise pollution. Because of its design, just like heat, even flow of noise will be obstructed to a large extent. Secondly, it will prevent condensation. This is again due to the barrier created by the insulating air in between the panes.
