Double-Pane or Triple? A guide to help your decide
Double-Pane
EnerView-180 provides a good balance between blocking solar heat and harmful rays in the summer and letting the sun’s natural energy in during the winter while providing high levels of visible light. If you are looking for an economical glass, which provides a good balance between summer and winter comfort while reducing energy costs, this is the glass for you.
Triple-Pane
Three insulated panes of glass provide year-round performance with the highest degree of solar control possible. In the summer, the special coating on the glass is formulated to block solar heat.
