This had me confused so I looked it up. Vacuum glass is still two layers of glass, just with a much smaller gap between the panes with glass beads or pillars in the gap so it doesn’t collapse when a vacuum is applied, compared to adding argon in a traditional double glazed.

Oh snap so that’s what those three little dots on a airplane windows are for
Huh, you yoy mention it
You’re right, I meant “double glass” as the gas-filled thick panes typical for modern windows.
On a side note: I read that the isolation of gas-filled double glass actually degenerates over time. The vacuum does not.
Neat!
