The Benefits of Triple-Pane Windows

Triple-pane windows—which have substantially improved since first entering the market in the 1990s—are the next generation of products builders and suppliers should consider using in new construction and retrofits to existing buildings. Those on the market today typically have the same dimensions as double-pane windows, and are ideal for replacements and retrofits in older homes with 2x4 framing. They are also a 40% more energy efficient drop-in substitute for double-pane, low-emissivity (Low-E) windows with a U-Factor of 0.30.
