Energy efficiency and thermal break: how to limit heat loss with thermal break windows and other window insulation solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In architecture, windows and doors play a fundamental role, allowing ventilation and natural lighting of rooms, as well as constituting a barrier to the action of atmospheric agents. Closely related to the theme of windows and doors is that of thermal insulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This term identifies all the technological and construction choices that are essential to reduce heat loss to the outside in winter and heat gain in summer. These solutions also directly concern the characteristics and performance of windows and doors, considered one of the main causes of heat loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thermal cutting: what is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To solve this problem, thermal break is used, a system usually used for aluminium windows<\/a> or for steel frames<\/a>. The fixtures thermal break<\/strong> They \"cut\" the thermal bridge thanks to their structure and the insertion of plastic strips that interrupt the continuity of the metal, thus ensuring a better seal against heat loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the traditional window frames, also known as cold cut, as well as no longer complying with energy saving regulations, also have the problem of high thermal conductivity. For this reason, thermal break windows are becoming more and more popular, as they prevent the passage of heat, thus improving window insulation. In reality, there are various aspects that must be taken into consideration in order to ensure the thermal insulation of windows and doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving the thermal insulation of windows can bring multiple benefits. First of all for the environment, as good insulation reduces energy consumption and improves living comfort in the interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimising the thermal insulation of a residence is also a long-term investment. Because by improving the energy efficiency of the house, you reduce heating and cooling costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, thanks to the tax deductions<\/a> provided for energy requalification interventions there are important tax advantages that further reduce the payback time for this type of investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the factors that contribute to the thermal insulation of windows?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The transparent envelope of a building, or rather the windows and doors of a house are one of the elements that have the greatest impact on thermal insulation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A window frame is continuously subject to thermal exchange with the outside and the most exposed part is the glass surface. For this reason it is considered that 80% of the performance of a window is guaranteed by the characteristics of the glass while the remaining 20% is guaranteed by the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1 Glass surface: the double glazing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The main alternative to single glazing is double glazing. This is glass consisting of two or more panes of glass, spaced 6 to 22 mm apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gap between the panes of glass plays an important role in window insulation. For specific thermal insulation requirements, the space between the panes can be increased, as can the thickness of the glass, which is usually 4 mm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frames with double-glazing can also be composed of three panes, in this way two chambers are created and there is greater acoustic and thermal insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
