Do you know the biggest energy hogs in your home?

Good insulation is vital for every home, especially as the demand for sustainability and energy efficiency is growing. With this in mind, it is important to understand the impact of your home, particularly your windows and doors, on heat loss and energy use.

The right windows and doors play a key role in effective thermal insulation. Thermal glazing technology offers a solution that increases the thermal insulation capacity of windows, thus reducing energy consumption. This involves the use of plastic and stainless steel spacers between the panes of glass, thus minimising heat conduction and heat loss.

In addition, windows with warm-flame spacers help to prevent internal condensation, which contributes to a healthier and more comfortable living environment - and in the long run, we can reduce our heating bills! That's why it's worth seriously considering the use of glazing with warm-frame spacers if you want to create a home that is energy efficient, environmentally conscious and healthy.

Let's look at the benefits of warm-flame spacers through a practical example. The Uw (U-value of window) tells us the heat transmission value of the complete window. The lower this value, the better the thermal insulation of your window or door - in new builds, you should not install a window or door above 1.6 W/m2k!
