double-glazed
Thermally sealed windows
Double-glazed describes windows or doors with two panes of glass separated by an air gap, providing better insulation than single panes: We replaced all the old windows with double-glazed units.
The trapped air reduces heat transfer and noise.
Common in British English; Americans often say "dual-pane" or "double-pane."
