Why throw money out the window? They represent up to 15% of heat loss. Double glazing helps savings while preserving nature.
To overcome the energy losses must: - Change the window if the window is in good condition - Or, if it is faulty, replace it completely.
Thermal performance depends on the insulation qualities of the glazing, the nature and tightness of the frame and shutters. If the window is intact, simply replace the single pane by double glazing said renovations. The conventional double glazing (two glasses trapping a layer of air) reduces heat loss. There are better: double glazing with reinforced insulation (Vir). It consists of a thin layer low emissivity (based on silver) deposited on one side of the glass. This system acts as a shield pushing the summer heat, preventing it from leaving the winter. Its insulating capacity is three times that of a double glazed unit, and more than four times that of a single glazing. To select a material effective, trust in U that characterizes thermal insulation capacity of the glass. The lower it is, the better its performance.
