ARGON WINDOWS

THE TRUTH ABOUT ARGON WINDOWS

Argon Gas is one of the most “asked about” features we offer. Argon gas is highly promoted within the replacement thermal windows industry, particularly with in-home sales people. Some window manufacturers even use Krypton Gas because it’s slightly denser than Argon gas windows. All of our double pane windows include Argon Gas.

WHY ARGON?

Many professional window sales people push the benefits of using Argon Gas in Windows for improving home energy efficiency as if it were the single most important component in the window. The truth is, Argon Gas in Windows is one of the least impactful options that Ringer Windows offers. We educate our clients regarding the truth about Argon. This is the real truth about Argon Windows.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ARGON WINDOWS

Argon gas fills work best when used in cold climates. Argon windows are designed to lower the U-Value of a window. The U-Value represents how well a window performs in cold weather. Many of the testing benchmarks for U-Value start at ZERO degrees. Anyone who lives in central and south Texas knows that we rarely get that cold!

Argon makes a 2% to 4% difference with our windows during our short winter months. While we believe that Argon only makes a slight impact on our windows performance in Texas, we automatically include it with all our double pane windows manufactured in central Texas.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND ARGON WINDOWS

Argon and Krypton gas are in the family of Nobel Gases. These inert and safe gases occur naturally in our atmosphere and are invisible and heavier than air, thus they are more dense. When used in a window, these gases are hermetically sealed between the 2 panes of glass, permanently sealed into our glass windows.

Neither Argon nor Krypton has any affect on sound transmission or stopping the sun’s harmful Ultraviolet or Infrared Energy. Many in-home window sales people misrepresent Argon gas filled windows as a sound deterrent component. Not only is that incorrect, but it should alert anyone buying new windows to be wary of those who will say anything to gain your business.
