− | + | Krypton is another gas which is sometimes used for thermal insulation of windows. Krypton offers a better thermal performance and is often used when there are especially thin gaps between the glazing panes. Krypton is a more expensive gas than argon, however, so argon is generally used in replacement window applications. In specific cases a manufacturer will mix krypton and argon gas to fill in a space between two or three glass panes. | |
