Argon is an inert gas that is used as an insulating agent. It is filled between the two panes of glass to reduce the heat loss to the outside environment. Argon is heavier than air and provides your windows with an increased R-value. Argon insulation improves the u-value in a home by 10% or more. It also helps in soundproofing properties. Argon is inexpensive, non-toxic, and odourless and is therefore popularly used as an insulating agent.

There are several measures that you, as a homeowner, can undertake to make the installation process as efficient as possible:

Clear the way: It would be best if you moved everything that is around your windows or doors. Any furniture or outside decoration needs to be moved so that our installers can access the respective windows or doors.

Take it down: Additionally, you will need to take down your blinds, sheers and curtains, and any remaining brackets mounted to the old windows or doors.

Cover it up: We will try our best to be neat. However, you can ensure that your house stays clean by putting down a drop cloth yourself over anything that might get dirty.

Open it up: If you are not home when your windows are replaced, be sure to make arrangements so our installers can gain access to your home in your absence.
