An insulating, tinted glass window assembly of components that can be efficiently assembled and disassembled for repair or cleaning provides a three-layer glass window assembly having a tinted-glass layer sandwiched between two clear, transparent glass panes. The tinted-glass layer is formed by a lattice inner frame holding a plurality of preformed tinted glass sized to fit in the lattice frame. The inner frame also holds the clear, transparent glass panes resting on the inner frame in a spaced-apart relation to the internal tinted glass layer. Thus, two insulating layers of air is presented within each of which air movement is restricted by the lattice of the inner frame, thereby further improving insulation properties of the assembly. The perimeter frame 20 and the inner frame each comprise two matching members in face-to-face contact with the inner frame perimeter fitting into a channel in the perimeter frame, and the clear, transparent glass panes secured to the outer frame thereby holding the assembly together without permanent adhesives.
