How much R-value is lost when a seal breaks on a double-paned glass window? A friend says it is still dead air
Friday, October 31st, 2008homehelp asked:
I’ve read there isn’t much insulating difference between a single pane and a double-pane window,– it maybe amounts to $5 per window per year in heating oil. Search for “R U Warm yet” on this website: http://blog.tomevslin.com
So it seems the main reason to fix a double pane with condensation between the panes is aesthetic. Does everyone agree?
