Window Glass Types

From style to color to material, the options available for replacement windows are seemingly endless, which can easily become overwhelming for customers looking to begin their project. One choice to make is the type of glass to use in a replacement window, a decision that can have a huge impact on the overall success of the project. Wading through the information on the number of panes, types of insulating gasses, and reflective coatings can be time-consuming, but luckily for consumers in Columbus, Ohio, HEGG Windows & Doors can help you find the perfect solution for your replacement project.

Double vs. Triple Paned

One of the first questions people shopping for replacement windows ask is the benefit of getting triple-paned versus double-paned windows. A double-paned window has 2 pieces of glass, while a triple-paned window has 3. Double-paned windows are the industry standard because they meet most customers’ needs. Triple paned windows can increase overall energy efficiency and noise reduction; however, the higher cost of triple-paned windows may offset the other benefits.

Low E Coatings

Another confusing element of replacement window glass packages is the kinds of low e coatings available. Low e refers to low emissivity, and this is a microscopic layer of material that coats the glass and tints it just slightly. This low e coating helps insulate your home by reflecting out sunlight, and there are different options available as to how many layers of low e are on your replacement window glass. The typical standard is two coatings of low e, but for areas of your home that are prone to intense sunlight perhaps upgrading to a third or even a fourth coating of low e could be beneficial.

Gas Insulation

Many customers wonder what is in between the two panes of glass on their replacement window, and the answer is typically argon gas. Argon gas is heavier than regular air, which helps slow the transfer of heat and coolness through your windows. Some window brands offer the option of krypton gas in between the panes, and krypton can be a better option for insulating your windows. However, windows containing krypton gas are costlier, so it is important to weigh the pros and cons before making your decision on replacement windows.

I'm a big fan of HEGG Windows because of their customer service, attention to detail, and amazing communication. I had got several quotes before deciding on HEGG and what helped with my decision was that they are a local company, sales was not pushy, professional, price was reasonable, and communication/follow-ups were so nice. The installers were great and the quality inspection afterwards was helpful - they already found something to fix (hardware replacement) and are on it! I feel really taken care of. Thank you HEGG! Will definitely look for you for more windows in the future.

Probably the best company I’ve ever dealt with for home improvement. We just had a small, one door project and I felt like they treated us like we had a huge whole house window install. Communication was excellent from the company at every step. Final product was high quality, and they even did a follow up inspection to make sure we were satisfied. I will definitely use this company again when the need arises.

Highly recommend Hegg Windows and Doors! Knowledgeable, professional, communicative, great selection, and low pressure sales approach! Recently had sliding doors, 3 season room windows, entry doors replaced. Very happy with end result. The walk-through after installation addressed any questions or adjustments needed. They even caulked and touched up paint inside and out! A rare company built on customer satisfaction.

Laurie D.

The whole team was great to work with. They are skilled in what they do and very professional. We had a small job of replacing just two windows and they did an excellent job. We appreciated the follow up inspection and lessons on how to care for our new windows. Kudos to Josh, Virginia, and the whole team.

Anne B.

Excellent communication from the beginning of the process to the final QA walkthrough after the installation. This is the type of company you WANT to do business with rather than a company you have to work with. Excellent organization!
