Triple-pane double-hung replacement windows open from both the top and the bottom. This makes the windows easy to clean since both sashes can be tilted inward. Best Buy Windows and Siding’s double hung, triple pane windows offer superior styling, handcrafted quality, and exceptional long-term performance.
Why Double-Hung Windows are the Go-To for Modern American Homes
Double-hung windows are attractive, durable, easy to maintain, and offer great ventilation. You can find them in homes across the United States. They are so popular that you could point to almost any home in the Dallas area and spot double-hung windows. With so many benefits, it is easy to see why.
This type of window features two sashes (moving sections). The upper and lower sash can both be moved up and down vertically. So, you can open either section to let air in. Plus, double-hung windows are designed so that the sashes can be tilted inwards. This makes it easy to clean both the inside and outside of the windows while indoors, making them perfect for upper-level windows.
Furthermore, the double-hung design can be easily latched in the middle, typically with two latches. This makes them very secure while also providing a good seal to keep drafts out. The simple design and positive characteristics of this style of window are why homeowners around the country count on it.
Available in Different Shapes and Sizes
Although the traditional double-hung design has two equally sized sashes, you can find variants with unequal sections. This can be helpful for homeowners that want to be able to ventilate a space without creating a big enough hole for a pet or child to climb through, for example. It can also help create a more unique and custom look for your home. Whatever your needs, we can help you realize them.
Advantages of Triple Pane Windows
Most modern windows have multiple panes of glass with either a vacuum or a special gas such as argon between them. This helps to make them highly effective at insulation because heat and noise cannot transfer easily between the panes of glass.
Since the mid-20th century, double-pane windows have become the standard in most places. However, triple-pane offers all the benefits turned up a notch.
Triple-pane windows are quieter, more energy-efficient, cause less condensation, and can provide more protection from the sun’s rays. They are typically a little more expensive than double-pane windows to install. Despite this, they often help homeowners save significantly on their utility bills. So, they are often worthwhile, especially for people who live in hot or cold climates. If you need to heat or cool your home for a good portion of the year, you should seriously consider this option.
How Much Do Triple Pane Windows Cost?
Compared to double-pane windows, you can usually expect to pay around 10% to 15% extra for a triple-pane. However, it is important to note that this number can vary depending on the size and type of window. The best way to determine what the cost will be for you is to call Best Buy Windows & Siding and ask for a quote. We will be happy to discuss the different window options with you to help you find the right product.

The Ultimate Sound Barrier
In a bustling area like Richardson, TX, peace and quiet are rare commodities. While standard windows offer a basic buffer, upgrading to triple-pane windows transforms your home into a true sanctuary. This advanced glazing system utilizes three layers of glass separated by two distinct chambers of Argon gas, creating a density that street noise, lawnmowers, and heavy storms struggle to penetrate.
- Acoustic Isolation: The additional pane and gas chamber significantly disrupt sound waves, making these units ideal for bedrooms, home offices, or houses near busy intersections.
- Maximum Thermal Resistance: With two insulating barriers instead of one, these windows offer the highest R-values available, keeping the interior glass surface warm to the touch even during a winter freeze.
- Condensation Defense: The superior insulation virtually eliminates the temperature difference that causes moisture to form, keeping your view clear and your sills dry.
- Security Reinforcement: Three layers of glass are naturally harder to break through than two, adding an extra layer of deterrence against intruders.
We believe that your home should be the most comfortable place on earth. Our double-hung triple-pane windows combine this elite performance with classic functionality, allowing you to tilt the sashes in for easy cleaning while locking out the chaos of the outside world.
Precision Heavy-Duty Installation
A triple-pane unit is significantly heavier than a standard builder-grade window, requiring a specialized approach to installation. If the frame isn’t reinforced and squared perfectly, the extra weight can cause operational issues over time. This is where our comprehensive window services shine. Our team brings over 25 years of experience to the table, ensuring that your structural openings are prepared to support this premium upgrade. We don’t just swap out glass; we engineer a fit that ensures your sashes lift smoothly and lock tightly for decades.

We handle every aspect of the project, from the initial no-hassle quote to the final inspection, treating your property with the utmost respect. If you are ready to experience the quietest, most consistent indoor environment possible, contact Best Buy Windows and Siding today to schedule your free consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the extra weight of triple-pane windows a problem for my old window frames?
It can be if the installation isn’t handled correctly. Because triple-pane units are heavier, we inspect your existing rough openings to ensure the wood is sound.
Do triple-pane windows block more light than double pane?
Technically, there is a very slight reduction in visible light transmission due to the third sheet of glass, but it is typically imperceptible to the human eye. Modern glass manufacturing allows us to use high-clarity glass that provides the benefits of three layers while maintaining a bright, natural look in your home.
Why are there two Low-E coatings on these windows?
To maximize performance, we often apply Low-E coatings to two separate surfaces within the triple-pane unit. This creates a “dual-reflective” system where heat is reflected away on the outside, and conditioned air is reflected back in on the inside, providing insulation performance that is significantly higher than standard windows.
