Optionally we can install at your site in greater DuPage Co., IL
 

The description of a thermopane is: two or more pieces of glass or other gazing material glued in parallel with a spacer. The created space is usually dried with an desiccant.

(Vacuum thermos have been coming 'soon' since 1965. There is a problem with the vacuum sucking the glass together. So, the manufacturers put little pillars in the vacuum space to hold the glass apart. this makes it look like there is sand(little dots) evenly space inside the thermopane. These can be obtained at a high cost and need special window sash not the common house sash.)

Note: if you are installing the thermopane, you must give us the size of the thermopane or confirm our measurement. As the Installer you are responsible for the size as in some cases, the same size thermopane will work for one installer and not for another.
