Single Pane Windows
A single pane window, by definition, has one pane of glass, instead of two. It is surrounded, enclosed and sealed by a frame that can be made from a variety of materials, including aluminum, vinyl, fiberglass, or wood. Even with a low E glass coating, single pane windows cannot match the energy efficiency of a double pane window. The reason is that the double pane insulated glass unit works in conjunction with the spacer system, the gas fill, and the second pane of glass to drastically reduce the amount of heat or cold transfer from one pain to the other.
Single Pane Storm Windows
About the only time that manufactures make single pane windows in today's market are for the purposes of a storm window. Storm windows are placed either on the inside or the outside of an existing window and work in coordination to essentially create a double pane window unit. They are a much cheaper, and less permanent, solution to a full replacement window unit. A single pane storm window will typically run $75 - $215 per opening fully installed - more on storm windows cost.
