Aluminum windows are not only about minimalism and design. First of all, they are about warmth, silence and comfort. One of the main components of a window is definitely a double-glazed window. It occupies up to 80% of the window area and performs most of the functions.How not to make a mistake in choosing? Here is a short and clear guide:
1. How many cameras, so many efficiencyA single-chamber double-glazed window (2 glasses) is a basic option. Mostly chosen for balconies, utility rooms or regions with a mild climate.A double-chamber double-glazed window (3 glasses) is the golden mean. Comfortable warmth, silence, optimal price, what is needed for a home, office or private house.A three-chamber double-glazed window (4 glasses) for maximum warmth and silence. If the house is energy-efficient or you just want the maximum, then this is your option.
2. Glass is not just glass, but certain possibilitiesFunctional glass is no longer a luxury, but an opportunity to satisfy the most demanding client. Are you cold in winter, too hot in summer or are you worried about your safety, modern double-glazed windows can solve all your problems.• Glass with the Low-E mark is energy-saving, that is, it retains heat in winter.• Sun-protective or multifunctional will not let heat through in summer.• Everyone probably knows about tempered glass, it is 5 times stronger than ordinary glass and is safe when broken.• Triplexed glass (laminated) protects against impacts and noise.• Sound-insulating glass is glass of different thicknesses to muffle sound.
3. What is a double-glazed window filled with?The inter-glazed space (double-glazed window chamber) is not a void, as we are all used to thinking. Usually the chamber is filled with air, if there is a need to increase the thermal insulation properties of the double-glazed window, then argon (or krypton) is used as the chamber filling.
4. Numbers to pay attention toThe first number is the heat transfer coefficient (Ug(sad)• If this number is ~3.0 W/m²·K, then we are talking about single-chamber double-glazed windows and low insulation.• If we are talking about ~1.0–1.1 W/m²·K, these are most likely double-glazed windows with Low-E (energy saving) and filled with argon. They are ideal when choosing double-glazed windows for housing.The second number is the thickness of the double-glazed window. Most often it is from 24 to 44 mm and more, it all depends on the window profile and the size of the window.
5. Additional functions (optional)Here are just a few examples of additional functions that can be added to the double-glazed window depending on the client's wishes, namely:• Self-cleaning function, special glass "repels" dirt, which is washed away by rain over time.• Decorative bars. They can be applied from the outside or inside the double-glazed window and come in various thicknesses and colors. They are mainly ordered for windows made in the English, classical style.• Vandal-resistant glass prevents burglars from entering the premises, which is why it is relevant for first floors, shop windows, and offices.
Summarizing all of the above, a simple question arises: so what to choose? It's simple:For comfort, choose an energy-saving two-chamber double-glazed window.For safety, add triplex or tempered.For additional energy efficiency, be sure to fill the chambers with gas (argon).And then, on to the design and function according to your wishes.
