When your home is not well insulated, outdoor temperatures can dramatically affect the inside temperature &#8211; and comfort &#8211; of the house.<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Until double-plane glass windows were created, most homeowners with single-pane glass windows chose to install storm windows\u00a0(these come with screens, so they replaced traditional screens, providing comfort in all seasons), which fit on the outside of the window frame,\u00a0to get a second layer of insulation\u00a0to keep the home warmer in cold weather and lower energy bills.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Double-pane glass replacement windows have two panes of glass that are separated by a space of gas &#8211; argon or krypton &#8211; or air that assists in slowing down the transfer of heat and cold. Air is less energy-efficient than gas because gas is\u00a0more dense\u00a0than air.<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The construction of double-pane glass replacement windows (with a recommended Low-E coating applied) lets the most available visible light in, but keeps more heat inside the house during cold weather and keeps solar heat and UV rays outside the house, making it cooler, during hot weather.<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Double-pane glass replacements windows are a significant investment for your home, but you will immediate see a return on that investment\u00a0with noticeably lower power bills all year long.

The combination of two ways of glass and a layer of gas in between them serves to help better soundproof your home. Additionally, the noise that leaves your home to the outside is also reduced, so you can crank up the music without disturbing your neighbors.
