Single Pane Replacement
If You Live in an Older Home, You Will Most Likely Have Single Pane Windows
In fact if your house was built before 1995 you are more than likely using single pane windows. With innovations in window technology many home builders and contractors have since gone to replacing windows with dual or triple pane windows because one single pane just doesn’t offer enough protection from heat and cold elements. However; a single pane window with clear glass allows more daylight to pass through it than any other type and homeowners still prefer the traditional look of single pane windows.
Single Pane Window Cost
Single Pane windows are not only less expensive to purchase, they’re also generally simpler and less costly to repair because a broken window usually means replacing just one pane. Dual pane windows come as a complete unit, so when a dual pane window gets broken you cannot just replace the broken piece you have to replace the whole glass unit.
