Window Word of the Day: Argon Gas

by Iman Al-Baqsami

Argon Gas: An inert, colorless and odorless gas used to fill the airspace between the insulating glass panes which greatly increases the overall performance of the glass; Argon is less conducive to heat than air.

The glass panes are sealed to keep the gas from escaping to ensure a consistent interior temperature as well as overall energy efficiency.  This method works for all window frames and allows for unobstructed views and reliable insulation.
