Double-Pane Windows in Austin, TX

What are Double-Pane Windows?

At Ringer every window we manufacture is a high-quality, double-pane window. This means it has two double-strength glass sheets hermetically sealed together and filled with argon gas in an atmospherically controlled environment. Once the parts are combined, we officially call it “insulated glass.” Insulation is the key to producing energy efficient double-pane windows made for the Texas climate.

Spacers & Double-Pane Window Technology

What are Spacer Systems?

The component that joins and seals glass sheets together for double-pane windows is called a “spacer system.” There are many types of spacers and spacing technologies, some more reliable or efficient than others. This part is critically important because windows are highly susceptible to energy loss along the edges of their perimeter. Thus, efforts to reduce energy transfer along this edge are often called “warm edge” technologies.

What Happens When Spacers Fail?

Most aluminum double-pane windows used for new construction have cheap spacers. They generally fail over time because they’re built with mechanical frame joints. Unfortunately, low quality components like this are common in nearly all builder-grade products. Consequently, when glass seals fail calcium builds up between panes obscuring the view. The glass can be replaced but many repair companies use the same cheap spacers which will fail again. That’s why most glass replacement only comes with a 90-day warranty.
