Importance of Insulation

One of the important elements in the quality evaluation of your window is the insulation properties. The importance of insulation not only in windows but also in the whole building is being noticed more and more every day. In this article, we will talk about sound insulation and heat insulation.

Sound insulation is one of the basic elements of comfortable living spaces. Isolation of external noise sources, such as traffic noise, often plays a decisive role in window and door design criteria. Choosing the right glass combination is the first step towards achieving the desired insulation values. As the material to be used in joinery, wood is one of the best options due to its material properties.

Heat insulation is gaining more and more importance with the increasing awareness of energy efficiency. In order to achieve higher insulation values, very special glass types and window designs are being developed. Airtightness tests are carried out at the construction sites to ensure that the windows are working properly. The effective air tightness of the building envelope will prevent the escape of cool air in hot summer months and warm air in cold winter months.

This will increase occupant comfort and ensure energy efficiency. Remember that airtightness can not only be achieved by the window itself but also by proper mounting. On the market, there are intumescent tapes, membranes, PU foams, expanding foam tapes, etc. There are many mounting materials. Depending on the wall construction details, the use of the right material combination and expert workmanship and application are the keys to airtight window installation.
