What Is a Double-Pane Window?
A double-pane window has two panes of glass on each sash, with insulating gas between the layers of glass. This insulation and an extra layer of glass offer sound absorption and enhanced energy efficiency. Double-pane windows are ideal for older homes, homes with higher energy bills, and regions that experience extreme summer and/or winter temperatures.

How to Change a Double-Pane Window
Changing a double-pane window involves a few steps that ensure a proper fit and seal. If you don’t have experience replacing windows, you should leave it to the professionals. You will need to carefully remove the old window by prying off the stops and unscrewing any fasteners. Then, clean the frame to remove old sealant and debris. Measure the dimensions of the frame to ensure the new glass fits perfectly. Apply a layer of new glazing compound or adhesive to the frame before setting the new double-pane glass in place. Secure the glass with the stops and any necessary fasteners, then allow the adhesive to cure.
Fixing Double-Pane Windows in San Jose, CA
If your windows are less than 10 years old, consider double-pane window repair rather than window replacement. A window contractor or window repair company can repair minor damage to window panes, sashes, frames, and hardware. Window repair is a more sustainable and eco-friendly option and can save you time and money. If your windows have major damage or are constructed from outdated or unsafe material, we recommend window replacement.
