Fantastic video James. Keep up the great work :-) So triple only for noise reduction and doesnt improve insulation?

[@a22258461]

Nice elaboration

[@marklydon435]

If you have trouble sleeping just use some ear plugs, much much cheaper than triple glass which only knocks a couple of db at most over double.

[@HansDelbruck53]

Are you sure it's only 2 dB? Even 3 dB of attenuation is significant.

[@wolverineiscool7161]

Triple glazed is better for noise reduction, you're welcome

[@eurovisie2010]

I've heard that for good noise reduction you HAVE to use different thickness of glass used in the 3 pane window ! I don't know. You've got to research this if your at the point of buying..

Not necessarily. Although very commonly stated as an attribute of triple pane windows, improved sound performance isn't a given when moving from dual pane to triple pane windows. A National Research Council of Canada study several years back concluded that "Despite the widespread belief that adding another layer of glass must be beneficial, triple glazing provides essentially the same noise reduction as double glazing, unless the interlayer separation is very large." MIT also did a study with the same conclusion. Ultimately any potential advantage of triple pane over dual pane becomes more pronounced when using wider airspaces as noted in the above quote. The optimum airspace in a window IGU for energy performance is about 7/16" to 9/16" or about 11mm - 14mm. The potential advantage in sound performance when using a triple pane would occur when the two airspaces individually are in the same width range as the single space in the dual pane, so that the combination of the dual airspaces in the triple result in an overall airspace from something like 7/8" - 1-1/8" or 22mm - 28mm. At about 25mm or more is when the advantage of the wider airspace becomes noticeable, so while wider is better, unless it's pushing 1" the potential for sound improvement over dual pane is minimal.

Does anyone know how thick a double paned should be in reducing traffic noises?? Like how much mm would be ideal?

[@JakubBojanowski94]

The thicker the better. Most importantly you want one to be thicker than the other or they may start to resonate. It can be achieved either by the glass sheet itself or better yet by a second piece of glass glued to the first one. In between there is a foil you can’t see but since it’s polymer-based it helps to further reduce vibrations caused by sound waves. Not sure you have all that in the new world but that’s what we do across the pond anyway, hope that helps. Cheers!

I suppose the 3 pane window will be great for stopping thieves from breaking in?

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Wouldn't want the 2nd pane opening as that would open the toilet 😎

[@Maykay1312]

If someone breaks in u will have enought time to react because the thief will have to break out the whole window so he can get in and allsow all 3 panes of glass

[@4rd17]

Whats if i do 6 layers of glass ?

[@eurovisie2010]

Well you can go up to 8 layers of,....... NO,.. NOT glass. But two layers of glass and the others of lightweight film.. So you end up with extremely insulation see in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZKrpHWhrJiNitU

[@Mafioso1731]

So useless... So what type of climate is the triple good for? I love in Canada with winters of -20c and summers of +30c. Is double good enough or do I need triple??

[@jimmyjennings8956]

You look just like young chevy chase.

Hope your new windows keeps the draft off your fringe! Sweet dreams 😤😤😤

Thanks commenter didn't realise your into voyeurism

So now this fraud comes in triple flavors? Double pane windows are a fraud cooked up by the window industry years ago. I grew up in a house with single pane windows and we never had exorbitant heating/cooling bills. The only thing exorbitant are the cost of double pane windows, which need replacing on a regular basis. Single pane never need replacing unless a baseball or tree limb crashes through it.

[@bustex1]

Need replacing on a regular basis what?!

[@o.k.johnson6218]

There is science behind double/triple pane. U factor, SHGC and VT. Reflected in the bills. Definitely not a fraud.

[@nathanielb659]

In terms of thermal properties, triple pane performs well but that’s where it ends. Unless you’re getting it from Europe, US made triple pane IGUs have terrible track record of flaws and distortion. In particular, builder grade windows with triple pane are downright garage. As for sound reduction, this gentleman is greatly misinformed. The only IGUs that help reduce noise are laminated glass and IGUs with different thickness.

[@wolverineiscool7161]

NOISE REDUCTION is so much better on triple plane windows, don't be so ignorant. It's based on science and not make believe

[@steveriley1000]

@@o.k.johnson6218 in 30 yrs you might recoup 1/2 of the difference in price or fuel reduced and it doest do much in windows that are shaded , only sun facing
