coldouble

Coldouble is a term that combines the words "cold" and "double," referring to a specific type of double glazing used in windows and doors to improve thermal performance. Double glazing involves two panes of glass with a space between them, typically filled with an inert gas like argon or krypton, to reduce heat transfer. Coldouble, however, refers to a variation where the outer pane is coated with a low-emissivity (low-e) material. This coating reflects infrared radiation, further reducing heat loss in cold climates. The term "coldouble" is often used in the context of energy-efficient building design, particularly in regions with harsh winters. The benefits of coldouble include improved insulation, reduced heating costs, and enhanced comfort. It is a popular choice for new construction and retrofitting projects aimed at achieving high energy efficiency standards.
