Purchasing windows is an investment that must pay off over many years. It is an investment which, frankly, is not cheap. Windows are a very important building element of any space and therefore it is very important to take care of many elements that we must not ignore if we want to be satisfied with the results. Windows are, many architects will agree, not only one of the most important but also the most creative parts of the facade. Just as they can decorate a particular house or building, they can also spoil the overall appearance of a particular space.
Windows, many architects will agree, are not only one of the most important but also the most creative parts of the facade.
The role of windows is not only decorative and figurative, but windows and doors have a much more important role - and that is that they must also be functional. When we are in the interior of a certain space, whether it is a commercial or residential space - you will agree - we see the function of windows in a completely different way.
While from the outside we notice how a certain shape, color or appearance of windows and doors is adapted and "sat" well on a certain facade, from the inside we will look and notice completely different things. We will admire the view we have through our windows or glass walls, how the window is ideally placed on the side that has a lot of daylight and solar energy, how it is an excellent insulator against heat, cold or noise. All these items make life more comfortable and it is very important to consider them when buying new windows or doors.
WHEN BUYING A WINDOW, YOU MUST KNOW THE FOLLOWING:
- Energy efficiency, in addition to protecting the environment, also saves you money. Since a large amount of heat is often lost through external joinery, it is important to choose the most energy-efficient joinery for your living or working space.
- Energy losses through windows are usually ten times higher than those through walls.
- The quality of construction and assembly greatly affects energy efficiency. When talking about saving energy, the installation of joinery plays an important role because it affects the quality of the insulation and the durability of the joinery itself. First of all, the joints between the window profiles and the walls must be well made, otherwise heat will pass through, surface condensation will occur and mold will appear.
- In order to prevent large losses of thermal energy, 2 glass surfaces are most often used. Triple-glazed windows are installed in passive houses that consume minimal energy.
- Windows that provide good insulation will make it impossible for liquids to condense on the inside of the glass, because due to good insulation, the glass is not at a lower temperature than the temperature of the interior space.
- Sound insulation plays an important role in windows, which is affected by the same elements as thermal insulation, such as installing and filling the space between the glass surfaces with gas, but also by combining window panes of different thicknesses or installing laminated window panes. Additional sound insulation can be achieved by sealing the rim of the window frame and placing sealants on the closures (internal and external seals).
