PLEASANTON — These days, double-pane glass is standard for new windows. That’s why, when a homeowner replaces their old, single-pane windows with new, double-pane ones, they assume they’re getting the best technology available. However, these homeowners don’t realize that all window glass is not alike.
A lot of today’s windows come with single-strength, 1/16-inch glass panes, which is the minimum thickness available. To get more value for your new windows, you should consider upgrading to thicker glass. A good option is to combine one double-strength glass pane and one triple-strength glass pane.
Why get thicker glass? The biggest advantage is the improved sound suppression. Upgrading your window glass from standard to triple-strength over double-strength will make your home interior much quieter. This can be especially advantageous if you live near a busy road or have noisy neighbors. So, if you want to enjoy a more peaceful home environment and sleep more soundly at night, be sure to ask about sound suppression when looking for new windows.
