dual pane windows

That was a older Nu Wa article. Those bonded windows were new in the last couple of years on many models.

Dual pane windows are only manufactured with a slider window design, so any jalousie windows in the trailer will become slider windows with the dual pane option.

It's an option worthy of consideration.

No, not true. Ours has dual pane jalousie type windows. They are an LCI product. 3000 bonded These have performed well for us, at least for noise. Have not really had it in too much cold, but on this one I don't jump out of my chair when I lean back in my recliner and accidentally touch my bald spot on the glass. :)

"Can someone explain thermopane versus storm windows?


First of all we know of no "real" thermopane windows in the RV industry as are used in homes. Cost and vibration's impact on the window prevent this design.

What is available is a "dual pane" window, which does in fact have a 1/16" inert air space housed between two layers of glass instead of the normal single layer of glass. Don't expect tremendous difference in the insulation value created by the extra pane of glass and small air space. But those customers who have dual pane windows do feel they offer worthwhile benefits. Benefits mentioned by customers are increased insulation, reduction or elimination of window condensation, and noticeable reduction in outside noise penetration. Negative comments are the $1,300 approximate cost and 150 lbs of added weight.

Dual pane windows are only manufactured with a slider window design, so any jalousie windows in the trailer will become slider windows with the dual pane option. NuWa is not for or against dual pane windows, although the benefits for fulltimer customers is being appreciated more as customers influence our staff's thinking. It's an option worthy of consideration.

Not to panes of glass but to sealed panes of glass, all different ratings.

They have worked well for us since 2001.

. I am sure they have. What I suggested was to look up the specifications on RV dual pane windows before the purchase. It may be useful information.

Ive had 3 rvs,2 with single pane , last one is a 07 Cypress Newmar with Hehr Dual pane windows.Th e big plus for the dual pane is no condensation build up on the windows that we had a lot of with single pane.NO problems with the dual pane, 55000 plus miles, Mor Ryde LRE rudder block suspension.

Read up on the insulation factor. They are just two panes of glass.

When we were ordering our Pinnacle dual panes was one of the first things checked on our options to get list...a no brainer.

No problems and they do what intended for.

I had always figured that with my next RV it would have double pane windows for the insulation factor. However reading on one of the groups it was pointed out that the units used in RV's are not the sealed nitrogen filled units used in S&B. Just 2 panes of glass. I don't know if that' true or not but it kinda soured me on the idea and when and if the time comes I will find out for sure.

Someone surely knows?
