Heating & Air Conditioning Windows Design Dilemma

Calling all window experts ...

8 years ago

I am trying to figure out if triple glazed windows with dividers between the glass typically use dividers in each air cavity or only in one of the cavities. If only in one, do window manufacturers put them in the outer cavity (toward the exterior), or the inner? Does anyone know?

Why is it important to you? IMO grids in windows are always my last choice since I like clear views from windows.My guess is and I hope they only put then in one cavity.

Thanks Patricia. I'm not window shopping - I'm trying to find out for technical reasons regarding thermal performance (for a work project).

If it's a work project, you should have access to information from your architect, a building engineer, or the window manufacturer.
