If you increase the gap between the original glass and your perspex you will increase the insulating properties as it will take longer for the heat to migrate to the outside.

Three layers is always better than two. Reply 10 years ago on Introduction. Increasing the air gap only helps to a point, there tends to be a threshold after which it lessens the efficiency as the convection increases at that point.

Very true. Can't remember off hand what the magic number is, I would think an inch or maybe two is okay, after that a third sheet of perspex would be more useful. Hey, just a little aside. Moisture between the panes can be a pain. An old studio build trick is to put rice in between the panes to absorb the moisture. Feel free to message me about this if you want more info!

I'm not looking to take anything away from this 'ible, as you did a fine job. However dual paned units are made with an airtight barrier between the glass.

In addition the glass is heated prior to being sealed so that the air inside expands. Once heated and sealed the air inside contracts as it cools, and actually forms a pseudo vacuum as it as not as dense as the ambient air. It's actually the lack of air, or not as dense air that helps make dual pane glass a good insulator.

I only mention this because I think it would be a disservice to others looking to replicate this and expecting the same performance as a dual pane insulated window. Reply 12 years ago on Introduction. I agree with you completely, there is no intention to replicate a real double glazed window, but to add a layer of air in between the glass and perspex.

Reply 11 years ago on Introduction. As you said, these are not meant to replicate an actual double pane window, but just to add a bit to trailleadr's comment regarding actual ones, we used Argon gas when I worked at a window factory to fill the space between the panes.

I didn't learn why argon specifically, except it is inert. Either way, I def would like to try this at my apt. By shanitan Follow. More by the author:. Did you make this project? Share it with us!
