Argon gas in double glazing

Possom1 · 2015-02-14 18:35:39

I've read that the argon gas within double glazing will gradually escape from within the glazing after a few years. If this is correct, are there particular brands of glazing where this is known to be a problem? Or brands where this has a reduced chance of happening?

Any supplier of gas filled insulated glazing units has to ensure that they are compliant with a particular standard (EN1690). This allows for a gas leakage rate of <0.5% per annum. Leakage is not a problem if you buy from reputable suppliers.
