Warm windows Norway - important parameters
To choose warm windows, it is worth paying attention to the parameters declared by the manufacturer. As a rule, the most important parameter is the heat transfer coefficient, expressed in catalogs using the number assigned to the liter "Uw". According to specialists - a leading distributor of Scandinavian windows - the lower the ratio is, the better. Warm windows should have this factor lower than 1,6.
Parameters are not everything
The installation of the window itself is also a key issue. If it was made without taking into account the rules of the so-called "warm assembly", maybe that's it contribute to the creation a thermal bridge through which heat will escape to the outside of the building. According to the latest research thermal imaging, one of the most effective ways to install windows is to extend them into the building's insulation layer.
Window material and profile
Whether the installed windows will be warm depends also on the material used for their production. It is commonly believed that window frames made of wood are not energy efficient. “This happened in old window constructions. As the wood changed its shape over time, it warped, resulting in gaps at the joints. ' “However, the latest technological achievements in the carpentry industry have allowed the implementation of a method that effectively prevents this type of deformation. The products we offer use a special type of wood and a properly matched profile of the window frame, which prevents warping. "
Warm windows of Norway
As it turns out, the way you open a window also affects its energy efficiency. The Scandinavian system, known as the tilt-and-swivel system, offers the possibility of adjustment opening, and when closed, the frame adheres perfectly to the door frame, which prevents the formation of energy bridges.
Scandinavian windows are also equipped with a different opening system has a positive impact on energy efficiency. They open outwards to the sides, which is particularly important during... strong winds. Air pressure causes the window frame to press against the profile, which results in even greater tightness. There are no gaps through which cold wind enters the apartment, which is common in commonly used inward-opening window systems.
