Manufacturer Alpen is doing their part to reduce the overall energy cost of buildings with their innovative Alpen ThinGlass.

Made of three or four panes with super-thin 1mm center panes, the glazing utilizes krypton gas sandwiched between. For the triple panes, the resultant window is the same thickness as standard dual-pane windows with a 100% better R-value and a mere 12% additional weight.

Another advantage is for retrofits of historic structures. Alpen ThinGlass triples will fit in the same space as a double-glazed window, meaning the R-value of windows for older buildings can be doubled without having to re-fit the frame.

Lastly, Alpen ThinGlass is competitively priced with standard triple-pane windows, translating to significant energy and cost savings. See Alpen Glass to read more.
