GLAZING
The technical characteristics of windows, as well as the choice of glazing, are key elements in improving the quality of life in different areas of the home.
The selection of double or triple glazing plays a central role in achieving high performance from the window, directly affecting thermal insulation throughout the seasons and generating significant energy savings.
The insulated glazing unit consists of two or three glass panes, an aluminium spacer or warm edge, and one or more air chambers filled with gas.
We collaborate with global leaders in glass production and innovation – Guardian Glass and Saint-Gobain Glass – to offer you premium solutions.
Low-E glass
Low-E glass, thanks to a treatment applied to one of the panes in the insulated glazing unit, prevents heat from escaping your home.
Essentially, when heat comes into contact with the Low-E coated glass, it "bounces" back inside, reducing the loss of warmth and helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
Solar Control Glass
Thanks to specific treatments, solar control glass "selects" the solar energy entering your home, blocking as much ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation as possible—rays invisible to the human eye that carry heat—while allowing the visible light spectrum to pass through.
In practice, this prevents external heat from entering your home, helping to avoid excessively high indoor temperatures.
Low-Emissivity or Solar Control Glass? Which to Choose?
The best way to decide which type of glass to use is to consider the climate zone of your home, the orientation and position of the windows (north, south, east, west), their size, and the presence of solar shading.
- Choose Low-E glass for windows facing north.
- Choose Solar Control glass for windows facing east, west, or south, especially if external shading is absent.
Thermix spacer
Most energy losses from windows occur along the perimeter edges. These losses are caused by so-called thermal bridges.
Compared to traditional cold aluminium spacers, warm edge spacers provide an additional improvement in the thermal transmittance of windows by approximately 10%, both in hot and cold seasons.
