Double-glazed, triple-glazed, or storm windows allow space and air between panes (see the above diagram.) This lowers the U-factor as well as the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC). In addition to air, space can also be added to lower the U-factor more. Gas fills or low-E coatings can also be added
Window GlazingThere are a variety of options for your window glass, too: gas fills, heat-absorbing tints, insulated (double- or triple-glazed), low-E coatings, reflective coatings and spectrally selective coatings.Gas fills. The most common gasses used are argon, which is relatively less expensive, and

double to triple glazing as well as coatings and films that can be applied.While you can get a double-hung window for as low as a few hundred dollars, depending on its size, a better window that is excellent at saving energy and has a low-maintenance exterior finish will cost considerably more.

Double and triple glazing, low-e coating, argon fills and impact glass are some of the features that most window manufacturers have incorporated into their products.
You'll want to make sure that you use a window that blocks the UV rays to not only cut down on heat gain but to keep your interiors from being
