Single pane windows allow the transfer of heat or cold air from outdoor and indoor temperatures through glass. The temperature exchange is responsible for around 30% of the cool or hot air that is lost from an office or home.

The higher insulation of double-glazed windows decreases the heat exchange by about 50 50%. That means that during winter, the warm air is kept in the house, while during summer months it remains outside where it’s supposed to be.
