Yes, a double glazed window - two panes of glass with an airspace between them - will provide considerably higher insulating value than a single pane of glass. For even greater insulating value, the space between the panes can be filled with argon gas instead of air. Argon-filled windows, often called Low E windows will generally be more costly than regular air-filled windows.

Double glazing has two main advantages over single glazing. Firstly, it reduces noise from outside, but it also reduces the heat transfer rate. The air gap between the panes acts as a very good insulator, reducing the rate at which heat can escape.
Because it contains a layer of air between the glass.
It is like double glazing. An extra layer of gas or a vacuum in between will act as a very good insulator, helping to minimise heat flow.
The big insulating value of double glazing has to do with the space between the two panes of glass. If it's filled with air, that's good, because air is a poor conductor of heat. For even greater insulating value, the space between the panes can be filled with argon gas instead of air. Argon is an even worse conductor of heat than air is.
Heat travels through double-glazing by radiation.

It traps a layer of air, so the air is an insulator, so is the glass.

Basically you can't - you have to replace the whole double-glazing unit. Double glazing has an inert gas injected between the panes during manufacture - which aids the sound insulation properties of the unit. Once one pain is cracked - that gas escapes and is replaced by air - which is not a good sound insulator.

window double glazing is used to reduce noise from traffic and reduce heat absorbtion/dissipation since it uses a pocket of air between two plates of glass which increases it r value , since "still" air is a very good insulator glazing for glass/pottery is done to seal the surface of the item to preserve the underlaying design/colour

Only on some of the high end market cars do you get double and even triple glazing. Most comon vehicles do not have double glazing but instead they the safety glass.
Anglian windows do offer double glazing. Because double glazing requires more material and produces a higher quality window, doubling glazing windows tend to be a bit more expensive.
What in the world does insulatort mean. Because i cant answer the question now!!
Double glazing helps the environment by saving on energy usage, keeping out noise and your mum :)
