Glasses for energy saving

Energy saving

The choice of finishes in the event of a new home, it is not a joke. Beyond aesthetic and tastes, there is a whole host of information that is good to have in order to focus on the right product that allows you to obtain a certain level of quality standards and energy saving.

Energy saving is a particularly hot topic within the construction sector.

This for a variety of reasons, that align essentially on the reduction of consumption, but also in an improvement of living conditions of the environment itself.

First of all, consuming less energy you reduce immediately and in a fairly drastic way the costs of heating and cooling.

In addition, the level of comfort that you will get is achieved thanks to more natural light in the rooms, always to be preferred to artificial light.

This occurs and is carried out, especially in new buildings through the use of larger windows, studied in order to have high performance glass inside.

Windows performance

One of the fundamental values of energy efficiency is that change and improvement also depend on details such as windows, partitions and glasses. This derives from the fact that for decades now, the livability of certain environments and the building quality standards, necessarily require the use of a certain type of systems for heating and cooling, but its use must be limited to the real need.

This requirement can be reduced in the long term, thanks to performance doors and windows which are able to take advantage of the sun's energy and climate conditions to achieve very high levels of environmental comfort and as natural as possible.

But let's see what's new in the glass sector, considering the fact that the windows are designed as large surfaces, not only have performance details, but first of all they must allow the widest possible view of the space around the building in question.

Among the newest products in this direction, we find Xreavision of Impronta, a Venetian company for many years in the windows and doors area.

Made of glass and aluminum, with technology really sought- after, this window provides in addition to energy savings, also high levels of safety, durability and transparency of the glass surface it is equipped with.

This window was created with a truly minimalist design and technology with a slide that really allows you to get wide transparent surfaces, but easy to maintain and use.

The profiles are extremely reduced, so to leave as much space as possible to the glass, which has a large thermal transmittance, attested around 0.85 W/m2K.

Performance glasses

But the news in the field of windows and glasses performance are not over. From the MADE expo in early October here are some news about the brand Glass6therm, created by the group Glass 6 and identifying specifically the insulating glass, that have great qualities and performances, both thermal and high-end acoustic.

There is Solar Control Variable, a special plated glass, made of a coating in nano structures that make it dark blue, when you need the maximum protection from the sun, adjusting everything on 5 different ascending levels.

The intensity of the energy and light transmission can be adjusted in five different variations.

For those who are looking for privacy but with high quality standards, there is VEDONONVEDO, a special laminated sandblasted glass, made of a liquid crystal PDLC film, which reacts becoming transparent, when influenced by an electromagnetic field.
