The popularization of frame structures has led to fierce discussions on the energy efficiency of certain engineering solutions. Along with the walls and their various design options, even windows came into the field of view of the parties under discussion. Today, everyone knows that insulating glass units with PVC frames must be installed in suburban buildings, but not everyone understands why. Comments on the issue were provided by the Terra Windows company, which installs plastic windows in Balashikha and other cities of the Moscow region.
PVC double-glazed windows. Functions and tasks in construction
Modern glazing is a complex structure that performs several functions at once. Along with the provision of thermal insulation of the room, one cannot but recall sound insulation, as well as wind protection. In addition, the window must be corny to let in light and leave the possibility of airing.
The maintenance of a private house is not cheap, especially if the heating boiler runs on expensive fuel. The energy efficiency of the facility as a whole is determined not by the volume of generated heat energy, but by the overall coefficient of heat loss. The most vulnerable point of the wall is the window, if you do not take into account hidden or obvious construction defects. The better the window structure, the less heat is removed outside.
The advantage of specifically plastic windows is considered reliability, considered over a long period of time. If no gross mistakes were made during the installation of the product, the parameters of the frame and glass units correspond to the needs of the task, and the condition of the components does not raise questions - the level of heat loss remains minimal.
Saving on the quality of the window is not the best solution. Residents of city apartments can afford low-cost solutions, because the cost of paying for using the central heating system does not change during the entire heating season. In a private house, the more you have to heat, the more expensive it is to live. In other words, investing in a window is an investment in savings.
