Home : Styles & Options : Triple Pane Window Costs Triple Pane Windows CostTriple pane windows cost are typically $100 to $300 plus per window over your standard double pane window. Certainly, triple pane windows cost more for obvious reasons (just like double pane is more expensive than single pane). They have a few advantages, but the biggest one is better insulation and energy efficiency. But are they really worth it?
Basics Behind Triple Pane WindowsTriple pane windows have three panes of glass as part of the IGU (insulated glass unit), as opposed to two panes of glass that is standard in the industry. Three panes of glass helps reduce the amount of heat or cold that is transferred between the panes. The result is a more energy efficient window. As well, a triple pane window should block out more sound because there are two "dead spaces" between the three panes instead of just one with a dual pane window.
Comparing Apples To ApplesThe problem with upgrading to a triple pane window is making sure you are comparing the same windows. For instance, if you purchase a well made double pane window with low-e glass you will be getting a more energy efficient window than a triple pane window with clear glass. The only reason to go with a triple pane is if you purchase the low-e glass on all three panes and make sure that the window uses a good spacer system and argon or krypton fills. This will make for a very energy efficient window.
The Downside To Triple PaneBesides the increase in cost, triple pane windows have another real downside. There are more "things" that can fail -- two spacers, two fills, three panes that are more expensive to repair or replace. Truthfully, most homeowners should be fine with a well made double pane window that uses a low-e glass, a good spacer and an argon fill. However, if the cost is right and the IGU is good, then triple pane may be the way to go. Replacement Window Cost Triple Pane Windows Cost 2023Apex Insignia series22 Double Hung
