What is horticultural glass?
Horticultural Glass is the glass panes used predominantly in greenhouses and other structures with plants inside. It is specified for its high transmittance of sunlight at about 95% which is a significant increase on the 80% for normal glazing.
What gas is pumped between glass panes?
Argon is the gas most often used between panes in a double- or triple-glazed window. Like the others mentioned, it is colorless and odorless, says Bill Lingnell, head of Lingnell Consulting Services in Rockwall, Texas, an independent consultant who works with the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA). Argon is denser than the atmosphere, providing more thermal efficiency than having air between the panes, he explains.Krypton gas is denser than argon, and xenon gas is denser than krypton, providing somewhat more thermal efficiency. Some manufacturers also may offer a mixture of two gases. But the incremental benefit of these higher densities is hard to justify in their cost, says Carroll Bogard, manager of Trade Segment Marketing for Pella Windows in Pella, Iowa. "Dollar for dollar, argon gas does the best job," he says.What Benefits Does the Gas Offer?Added energy efficiency is the key benefit, Bogard says. The gas acts as an added insulator, working in both summer and winter to keep interiors insulated from outside temperatures. Typically, gas infusion is provided in conjunction with applying a low-emissivity (low-E) coating film to the glass panes, he notes.The other key advantage is the added comfort that can be achieved for the home, Bogard says. The low-E coating and gas help keep the interior pane of glass closer to the temperatures of the interior air, minimizing the creation of air currents as the different temperatures contact. This helps reduce drafts and winter "cold spots." He stresses that proper installation is "absolutely essential" to achieve this benefit, however, and contractors should be trained in proper installation techniques and/or use experienced installers.

You might describe glass that way.Window panes in the oldest buildings are thicker at the bottom than at the top, because the glass in them has flowed over the centuries.Here's something to think about:Ever since I heard this fact about ancient window panes, I've wondered: How can you measure the thickness of a window that's set in a wall, where you can't open the window and you certainly don't want to break it ?
