Best Answer

Double glazed is a term referring to having two pains of glass. Old wood windows were single glazed, newer ones are double glazed, real high end are triple glazed.

They are not stronger per say, you are just adding another piece of glass with an air gap in between.

By strong do you mean someone breaking in? If so, new double glazed windows are safer in that they are made better and the glass does not break as easy. But it's still glass and you can break it if you want to. If you are concerned about safety on first floor windows, you could get laminate windows which cost extra, but are more robust. They have a thin film on the glass to protect it from shattering.

HNNH, it has a double bond while H2NNH2 has a single, and doubles are stronger than single bonds, just as triple is stronger than double.

No


Why is there a layer of air in between windows?

It's not air - it's Argon gas. Argon gas is an inert gas, and a poor heat conductor - which is why double-glazed windows keep the heat in better than single-glazed panes.

Double bonds are shorter than single bonds, and also stronger than single bonds (though less than twice as strong).


What can be found at the website UPVC Double Glazing?

The unique design of double-glazed products insulates against heat and cold up to four times more effectively than single-glazed windows and doors. The space between the two panes of glass acts as a thermal barrier between your home and the outside environment. There are advantages and disadvantages of single glazed windows. The main advantage is the lower cost compared to double or triple glazing.


Do double-glazed windows cost a lot more than conventional windows and are they worth the money?

Double-Glazed windows cost much more than conventional windows. They are worth more money because they are much better. However, if you worried about the cost, then buy conventional windows. Easy installation and lower prices. If you want better quality windows, get double-glazed.


Is a c c single bond stronger than a double c c bond?

double bond is stronger because it consists of one sigma and one pi bond so high amount of heat is require to separate two atoms having a double bond.


What are double glazed windows?

Double glazed refers to how many layers of glass panes there are in the windows. With double glazing there are two layers, with an air gap in-between them. This design means you lose less heat through the windows than you would have with only a single pane. Double glazing can come in a couple of different types. There's the older type, which is basically two single-glazed windows stuck close together. Then there's the newer kind where you have a sandwich of of two sheets of glass mounted together at the factory. They often have further treatments - like being gas-filled, heat-reflective coatings, things like that to make them even more heat-efficient.


What form of energy passes through double glazed windows other than heat?

Light. MUCH better than heat.


What are the difference between single and double covalent bond?

In single covalent bond, one pair of electron is shared between two atoms (C-C). In a double covalent bond, two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms (C=C). Double bonds are shorter in length and more stronger than that of single bonds.


What is single girder and double girder EOT cranes?

Based on CMAA (Crane Manufacturers Association Of America) specifications, both single & double girder are equally rigid, strong & durable. This is because single girder cranes use much stronger cross girders than double girder cranes, and single girder cranes have lateral bracing, unlike double girder cranes.
