SPACER FILL
When specifying insulating glass with argon, it is important to also consider the thickness of the space. Increasing the thickness
does not necessarily improve the thermal performance. There is an optimal thickness where each gas achieves the best
performance. The optimal thickness for argon is 1/2”.
