Air Space All high performance windows have at least two panes of glass sandwiched together, with an airspace in between. The size of the airspace and the type of gas that fills this space effects the overall window performance.
air space
A space provided in exterior wall construction to prevent passage of moisture and allow the wall to dry out.

Breather Hole - A tiny hole from the air space between secondary glazing out to the cold side, where the air contains less moisture in winter, even at a higher relative humidity.
electrical potential from the earth, the thick dense clouds which are the usual prelude to a thunder storm serve to conduct the electricity of the upper air down towards the earth, and an electrical discharge takes place across the air space when the ...
Dual-Glazed - In general, two thicknesses of glass separated by an air space within an opening to improve insulation against heat transfer and/or sound transmission.
This provides for dead air space the extra protection of the surface of the ":furred out" wall. The water proofing of the the builidng wall and the air space left between is a good guarantee against destruction due to moisture.
A combination of 2 or more panes of glass with hermetically sealed air space between the panes of glass. This space may or may not be filled with an inert gas, such as argon.
Jamb The main vertical members forming the sides of a window or door frame.
Triple glazing: Three panes of glass with two air spaces between, commonly consisting of an insulating glass with a separate storm sash. Also available in an insulating window in a single frame.
Triple glazing: A sash glazed with three lights of glass, enclosing two separate air spaces.

U-Factor: A measure of heat transmission through a wall or window. The lower the U-Factor, the better the insulating value.
Insulating glass (IG)
A combination of two or more panes of glass with a hermetically sealed air space between the panes of glass. This space may or may not be filled with an inert gas, such as argon.
Furring - Strips of wood or metal applied to a wall or other surface to even it, to form an air space, or to give an appearance of greater thickness.
