Do different style windows make a difference in your home?
Comparing Single, Double, And Triple-Pane Windows in Belgium, Wisconsin
Understanding The Pros And Cons Of Each Window Type
You’ve noticed two things recently: your windows are drafty, and your energy bill has increased. You may not have realized it, but these signs show that your Belgium, WI, home needs replacement windows.
Here’s something else you may not have known – your window choice matters. There are three types of windows: single, double, and triple-pane. Whichever you decide on will determine how energy-efficient your home is.
Exterior Pros has helped many Wisconsin homeowners with their window replacements. We’re home renovation experts and can tell you all you need to know about each window type. Read on to learn the pros and cons of single, double, and triple-pane windows.
Single-Pane Windows
A single-pane window has one glass pane filling the frame. These windows are more affordable than double and triple pane windows, but aren’t as energy-efficient or good at blocking sound. Single-pane windows are also easily breakable.
Single-pane windows are rare in newer construction due to better technology and a greater focus on energy efficiency. Homeowners can buy single-pane windows but may have trouble finding a supplier.
Exterior Pros focuses on replacing single-pane windows with multiple-pane options. Homeowners should choose double or triple-pane windows for better energy efficiency and comfort.
Double-Pane Windows
Double-pane windows have two glass panes filling the frame with insulating gas between them. The extra glass and gas (like argon or krypton) protect against heat transfer. Double-pane windows reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.
The extra layers mean they have better noise reduction and durability than single-pane windows. However, double-pane windows are more expensive than single-pane ones because they cost more to make.
Triple-Pane Windows
Triple-pane windows have three glass panes inside the frame. Each glass layer has insulating gas between them.
A triple-pane window has even greater energy efficiency, noise reduction, and durability than a double-pane one. Triple-pane windows also have better UV protection than the other window types; they’re more effective at preventing fading in furniture and artwork.
One drawback to choosing triple-pane windows is that they cost more than single and double-pane windows. They’re also heavier. Your existing window frame may need reinforcing if you opt for triple-pane windows.

“Exterior Pros did a great job on my house. They replaced the siding 2 years ago and now replaced the fascia and soffits and a portion of the gutter and gutter guard. They also tore off a wooden awning that was over my patio. The awning was rotting.”
