What are they?

• Double glazing doors and windows consist of two
  panes of glass instead of one. These glasses are
  mounted on the window frame at a distance of
  12-16 mm from each other. This gap is maintained
  using a spacer bar and although it usually
  comprises of normal air, it can also contain
  argon gas. The method of trapping air between the
  gaps is also referred to as insulated glazing as
  it dramatically reduces heat and noise
  transmission.

How do they work?

• A double glass window unit consists of five
  principal components. These include the two glass
  panes, the primary seal, the secondary seal, the
  cavity, and the spacer bar. Furthermore, a
  desiccant (a hydrophobic substance that absorbs
  moisture) is placed between the two glass panes
  to prevent fogging. The panes themselves can be
  tinted, transparent, or coated with a reflective
  layer.
