Before you start choosing something, you first need to figure out what a double-glazed window is. It is immediately worth clarifying that a double-glazed window and a plastic window are not the same thing. A double-glazed window is that part of the window through which we look at the street, that is, its transparent part. It is enclosed in a frame that is attached to the window opening. Windows with double-glazed windows can consist of two or three glasses. Between the panes there is an air chamber, its width is from 10 millimeters or more. It depends directly on the width of the distance frame, which is filled with a moisture-absorbing substance that prevents the window from fogging up from the inside. Which double-glazed window to choose, what you need to consider, how to understand all the nuances, not make a mistake and where to start? First of all, you should pay attention to the manufacturer.
The transparent part of a window without a frame is called a double-glazed window.
First you need to decide which manufacturer to give preference to, foreign or domestic.
We have had the habit of trusting foreigners rather than local craftsmen for a long time. But in this case, you can not pay attention to the geographical origin of double-glazed windows, but turn it to international standards. In order to find out, you just need to ask or demand certificates of conformity from the manufacturer, this will guarantee the right choice.
Each double-glazed window has a characteristic, and if you read it, you can find out everything about the main ones, such as the number of glasses, the thickness and filling of the air chambers.
Double-glazed construction is quite difficult to manufacture, but in any case, you need to understand what kind of double-glazed window you need. And for this you need to know how and how they differ and what advantages they have.

A single-chamber double-glazed window is usually installed in rooms with a glazed loggia.
It is usually installed in those rooms where the loggia is glazed, in areas with moderate climatic conditions and reduced requirements for thermal conductivity and sound insulation.
This is the most economical option, it is very often chosen for balcony blocks, which include a window and a balcony door.
The single-chamber package consists of two glasses, its width is 32 millimeters, while the width of each glass is 4 millimeters, and the distance frame is 24 millimeters. A single-chamber double-glazed window should definitely not be installed in the northern regions and on the windy side.

The most common double-glazed window is a double-glazed window - the optimal combination of quality and cost.
Almost the most common, as it is optimal if you need high protection from a noisy street, increased heat preservation and cost savings.
A two-chamber package consists of three glasses, its width is 40 mm, each glass individually has a width of 4 mm, the gap between the glasses is 14 mm.
Depending on your requirements, it is possible with glasses of various thicknesses and different properties. Perhaps, in this scenario, the price will increase, but along with it, the positive qualities of a double-glazed window will also grow.

Soundproof glass unit.
Perfect if there is heavy traffic outside your windows. In such constructions, to dampen the sound wave, the doors are tightly pressed and the joints are sealed.
The soundproof package must necessarily consist of glasses of different widths, 6 and 4 mm, while the quality of the glass must also be different, as well as the width of the spacers.

It is more often used for glazing objects that store commercial or cultural values, showcases. To create such a double-glazed window, triplex is usually used - this is glass that has several layers.
Triplex with a thickness of 13 mm or more is bulletproof glass.
Such glass is quite widely used in the automotive industry. The layers in the glass are interconnected by a transparent film. If the glass is broken, then it is the film that will not allow the fragments to scatter in different directions, preventing possible injuries and cuts.
In addition, triplex with a thickness of 13 millimeters or more is bulletproof glass. Protective double-glazed windows are also often installed in children's rooms, since an accidentally broken window during games is not such a rarity.

To create, glass tinting in bulk or tinting with a film is used. Often used in bedrooms and bathrooms. Indispensable for rooms that are on the sunny side.
But it is also used for decorative purposes or to make the inner world of a living space inaccessible to prying eyes. It has all the properties of a double-glazed window, except for light transmission.

Used to solve design ideas. Double-glazed windows are decorated with bars (internal layout). There are three main layout types:

The heat-reflecting coating on the inside of the double-glazed window saves 30% more heat.
It operates on the principle of a thermal mirror, thanks to I-glass (i-glass), which is also called low-emissivity. The heat-reflecting glass coating, which is located on the inside of the double-glazed window, is applied using vacuum deposition.
Such a package saves heat by 30 percent more than a regular double-glazed window. In addition, it has a high ability to reflect ultraviolet rays, excellent light transmission, and spraying also protects it from mechanical influences.
These double-glazed windows are very popular in areas with a sharply continental climate, where the temperature changes often and unexpectedly. Often they are placed in apartments with poor heating, in country houses. Due to their good light transmission ability, you can save on lighting during the day.
