Argon Filled
Double Glazing
At Spartan Double Glazing, we're committed to providing you with the most energy-efficient and cost-effective window and door solutions. Our argon-filled double-glazing technology is at the forefront of modern insulation techniques, offering superior performance and long-lasting benefits for your home.
What is Argon Gas? How is it Used in Windows and Doors?
Argon is a colourless, odourless, non-toxic gas that's denser than air. In our double-glazing windows and doors, we use argon to fill the space between two panes of glass. This innovative approach significantly improves insulation properties, reducing heat transfer and enhancing energy efficiency in your home.
​
Our argon gas-filled windows work by slowing down heat transfer between the interior and exterior of your property. The dense argon gas acts as a barrier, minimising convection currents and conduction, which are the primary causes of heat loss in traditional windows and doors.
​
How Much Does Argon Double Glazing Cost?
At Spartan Double Glazing, we believe in providing high-quality solutions at competitive prices. The cost of argon double-glazed units can vary depending on several factors, but we strive to offer options that suit various budgets without compromising on quality.
What Affects the Cost of Argon-Filled Glazing?
Several factors influence the cost of argon-filled glazing:
-
Window size and quantity
-
Frame material (e.g., uPVC, aluminium, or timber)
-
Glass type and thickness
-
Additional features (e.g., tinting, low-E coatings)
-
Installation complexity
We offer free, no-obligation quotes to help you understand the exact costs for your specific requirements.
How Does Argon-Filled Glazing Save You Money?
While the initial investment in argon-filled double glazing might be higher than standard options, the long-term savings are significant:
-
Reduced energy bills due to improved insulation
-
Lower heating and cooling costs
-
Increased property value
-
Potential eligibility for energy efficiency incentives or rebates
How Much Does Argon-Filled Glazing Actually Save?
The exact savings from argon-filled glazing can vary depending on your home's size, location, and energy usage. However, many of our customers report energy bill reductions of 15-20% after installation. Over the lifespan of your windows and doors, these savings can amount to thousands of pounds.
​
Argon Double Glazing vs Other Gas-Filled Windows
While other gases like krypton or xenon are sometimes used in double glazing, argon offers the best balance of performance and cost-effectiveness. It's more efficient than air-filled units and nearly as effective as more expensive gas options, making it the ideal choice for most homeowners.
​
Does Argon-Filled Double Glazing Lose Gas Over Time?
Quality argon-filled units, like those we provide at Spartan Double Glazing, are designed to retain their gas fill for many years. While there may be a minimal loss of about 1% per year, this has a negligible impact on performance over the typical 20-25-year lifespan of the units.
​
Can You Replace Argon Gas in Windows & Doors?
In most cases, it's not practical to replace just the argon gas in existing windows or doors. If you notice a significant decrease in performance, it's usually more cost-effective to replace the entire unit. At Spartan Double Glazing, we offer comprehensive replacement services to ensure your home maintains optimal energy efficiency.

Argon Filled Windows
Our argon-filled windows are the cornerstone of energy-efficient home improvements. They offer superior insulation, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature year-round while reducing your carbon footprint.
Insulated Windows
The argon gas in our double-glazed windows act as an excellent insulator for hot or cold air, significantly reducing heat transfer. This means your home stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer, reducing the strain on your heating and cooling systems.
Energy Efficient Windows
Spartan Double Glazing's argon-filled windows are designed with energy efficiency in mind. By minimising heat loss and gain, these windows can significantly reduce your energy consumption, leading to lower bills and a more environmentally friendly home.
Argon Filled Doors
Don't forget about your doors! Our argon-filled glazed doors offer the same excellent insulation properties as our windows, ensuring that every entry point in your home contributes to its overall energy efficiency.
​
Insulated Doors
Our argon-filled doors provide an extra layer of insulation, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home and reduce drafts. This enhanced insulation also contributes to better soundproofing, creating a quieter, more peaceful living environment.
​
Energy Efficient Doors
Like our windows, Spartan Double Glazing's argon-filled doors are designed to maximise energy efficiency. By reducing heat transfer, these doors help lower your energy bills and improve your home's overall energy performance.
