High performance glass

What you should know about high performance glass.

All nowadays replacement windows have insulated glass either double-pane or triple-pane glass. It is a combination or two or three sheets of glass sealed hermetically with air, argon or krypton gas.
Argon – inert gas that is odorless, safe, without color and has excellent thermal properties because it is 2 times denser than air. This gas’ job is to dramatically reduce the heat transfer from your home out and reduce the noise coming from the outside of your home. OKNA windows CT

Krypton – also inert gas with similar properties to argon, however this gas is considered a precious super insulating gas because it is even denser than argon.
