Energy-saving windows
Energy-efficient windows are one of the key elements affecting the energy efficiency of a building. Thanks to modern design solutions and the use of innovative materials, energy-efficient windows help to minimise heat loss, which translates into lower energy consumption for heating in winter and cooling in summer. This not only saves money but is also a way of taking care of the environment.
What are the characteristics of energy-efficient windows?
Energy-efficient windows are characterised by several features that make them extremely efficient:
Low thermal transmittance
When choosing energy-efficient windows, it is worth paying attention to their heat transfer coefficient (Uw), which determines how effectively the window insulates against energy loss. The lower the Uw value, the better the insulation. With the right choice of windows, you can significantly improve the energy efficiency of your building and enjoy lower heating bills.
Uw for energy efficient windows is between 0.85 and 1.0 W/m²K.
Insulating glass units
The use of double-glazed units is also an important element in energy-efficient windows. These consist of several layers of glass (three or four), with the space between them filled with a noble gas (e.g. argon) to improve insulation. In addition, the Low-E coating on the glazing reflects heat from inside the building, allowing it to be retained while not restricting natural light.
High-quality triple gaskets
To ensure the best possible seal, energy-efficient windows are fitted with high-quality seals that effectively prevent cold air from entering and heat loss. Thanks to these solutions, windows can significantly improve thermal comfort indoors and ensure a stable temperature all year round.
Multi-chamber profiles
The frame of an energy-efficient window consists of several air chambers (usually six or seven), which act as an insulator.
Energy-efficient windows protect the environment
Investing in energy-efficient windows is also a step towards protecting the environment. Reducing energy consumption and thus the emissions associated with heating buildings reduces the carbon footprint and contributes to the fight against climate change.
In summary, energy-efficient windows are an investment that benefits not only in terms of financial savings, but also in terms of living comfort and care for the environment. It is a solution that certainly pays off in the long run.
