Efficient window installation not only contributes to the ecological footprint, but also reduces the electricity bill, and makes a difference to our well-being.
More and more people are talking about sustainable homes that have energy certifications above "A". An effective solution to achieve this goal is through PVC windows, since they not only help in ecological issues but also reduce the electricity bill, making a difference in our well-being.
In this sense, two of the main advantages of installing PVC systems in the windows of your home are maximizing the energy efficiency of resources and minimizing energy expenses.
Having efficient windows can save us about 20% on our electricity and gas bills.
Efficient windows: Benefits
- Replacing windows with better performing ones is one of the easiest and quickest actions to take in buildings;
- It reduces energy losses in buildings;
- Saves on your energy bill. Specifically in the consumption of heating and air conditioning;
- With its installation contributes to the conservation of the environment and the reduction of CO₂ emissions;
- Improves not only the thermal comfort of your home, but also your acoustic comfort;
- Reduction of the cold wall effect, which equals greater surface comfort in your home. It means less window overheating and greater summer comfort in your neighborhood.
Efficient PVC windows: Sealing
Gaps in the perimeter of a window cause weaknesses in the structure of the home and temperature losses, depicting higher electricity consumption.
It is possible to avoid this situation if in the construction process there is a certain attention to the correct installation of the windows, in order to reduce a maximum number of gaps.
Greater energy efficiency equals fewer pores and gaps around the frame.
In this sense, it is important to emphasize that you can even have the best windows on the market, however, if they are not properly installed in the walls of the house and properly sealed, you will not achieve the best insulation performance.
To ensure, therefore, more efficient windows, one must use modern sealing methods that correct small structural deficiencies in the walls. Seals ensure air, water, thermal, and acoustic tightness with highly satisfactory results.
In addition, when insulating a PVC window and preventing heat from penetrating the house, it is most effective to do so from the outside in. In this way, solar radiation is prevented from falling directly on the glass.
More efficient windows: How to choose
Choosing the most efficient type of window is not an easy matter to solve, as there are several alternatives and it will depend on your needs and requirements.
However, one of the best features offered is the PVC window, with hermetic folding, reinforced glass and double glazing.
Is there an opening system more efficient than another?
In opening systems there are two that need to be examined: the casement and the sliding. However, it should be noted that the former are more efficient than the latter, since the closing system is pressure and PVC windows are better insulated from the weather.
On the other hand, these PVC windows can move from the horizontal to the vertical position and vice versa. The best systems are tilt and turn windows.
A point in favor of this system is that when triple glazing is incorporated, heat exchange with the outside is almost non-existent.
