All possibilities and specifications about California windows.

Have you considered double-paned (thermopane), sealed glass?

Double-paned windows, many separated by Argon gas for insulation, have a total thickness of ¾" (19 mm).

  • They provide more layers of protection
  • They reduce cold air infiltration, condensation, and noise
  • They help lower energy costs

In addition, the 2 panes are coated with an invisible metal oxide, known as LOW-E, and filled with Argon gas. Energy-efficient LOW-E Argon thermopane windows reflect heat away from the building in the summer. They limit heat from escaping in the winter, ensuring that your facility can better withstand both cold and warm temperatures.
