In short, windows and doors made with triple-pane glass give you greater thermal and sound performance. Read on to understand more about the difference triple-pane glass makes and how it compares to standard dual-pane glass — plus, get to know your options. 

The specific performance benefits of windows with triple-pane glass include:

• Improved insulation: A window with triple-pane glass will be more insulating than a window with standard dual-pane glass. The additional pane of glass and additional air space combined with opportunities for multiple Low-E coatings slow down the transfer of heat.
• Reduced sound: Windows with triple-pane glass will almost always outperform windows with dual-pane glass from a sound perspective. This is because they’re thicker. The thickness of the two air spaces and three panes of glass slow down the transmission of sound.

The more coatings applied, the better the thermal performance will be. Low-E coatings can be applied to triple-pane glass in various ways. Here’s what you should know:
