Double glazing is where two sheets of glass are placed together in a frame with a vacuum between the panes. The vacuum prevents cold entering from the outside and warmth existing from the inside. Therefore it is normally used for external windows and doors. Note. It also acts a noise reducer and some houses near airports and their flight paths even have triple or quadruple glazing to reduce aircraft noise.

How does the heat pass through double glazing?
Heat passes through double glazing by conduction, convection, and radiation. The two panes of glass are separated by a gap filled with an insulating gas like argon, which helps reduce heat transfer. The low thermal conductivity of the materials used in double glazing also helps inhibit the movement of heat.
Why vacuum cannot be used instead of air in double glazing?
Vacuum can be used in double glazing, but it is more expensive and difficult to create and maintain than simply using air. Additionally, a vacuum may not provide as much insulation as other gases, such as argon or krypton, which are commonly used in double glazing for their superior insulating properties.
How durable is double glazing?
Double glazing is generally durable and long-lasting. When properly manufactured and installed, double glazing can last for 20 years or more. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help prolong its lifespan.
Why do all modern houses have double glazing?

How much do you save having double glazing rather than single glazing?
Having double glazing can save you around 10-25% on your heating bills compared to single glazing. This is because double glazing is more effective at insulating your home, reducing heat loss and keeping your home warmer for longer periods. Over time, the cost savings from reduced energy usage can offset the initial investment in double glazing.
