I have always read that any airspace between the glass or poly should never
exceed 5/8 of an inch to prevent a thermal loop from developing which would
defeat the purpose of double glazing. This is certainly the rule in
manufactured thermal pane windows and doors. By evacuating the air space
between the glazing panels you can slow down this effect with over time the
vacuum gets lost.
