Energy-saving windows: how to choose for maximum savings on heating

05.12.2024

Energy-saving windows are becoming an important component in the desire to reduce heating costs and improve home comfort. In the context of constantly rising energy prices, choosing windows that can effectively retain heat can significantly affect the budget. Let's figure out which characteristics of energy-saving windows are important and why you should choose such solutions for your home.

What are energy-saving windows?

Energy-saving windows are windows that have improved thermal insulation properties. Such windows are usually equipped with a special double-glazed window with argon or krypton between the panes, and also have multi-chamber profiles that create air gaps that prevent heat leakage.

The main features of energy-saving windows:

• Multi-chamber profile with heat-insulating inserts.
• Energy-saving double-glazed windows with protective coatings that reflect infrared radiation.
• Heat resistance and high tightness, preventing heat leakage and cold penetration.

Why choose energy-saving windows?

1. Saving on heating. Windows with good thermal insulation can significantly reduce heating costs, as they prevent heat leakage through windows and doors. This is especially important in winter, when heating bills can make up a significant portion of utility costs.
2. Indoor comfort. Energy-efficient windows maintain a comfortable indoor temperature at any time of year. In cold weather, they retain heat, and in hot weather, they prevent the room from overheating.
3. Reducing the impact of external noise. Energy-saving windows often have high noise insulation, which is especially important for residents of megacities and noisy areas.
4. Environmental friendliness. The use of energy-saving windows helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, since houses with such windows consume less energy for heating.

How to choose energy-saving windows from IMZO?

IMZO offers several window models that are ideal for energy saving:

• Rehau ArtEvo is one of the most popular models with an energy-efficient double-glazed window and a multi-chamber profile. These windows provide excellent thermal insulation, which helps to significantly reduce heating costs.
• Rehau Euro-Design 70 is a profile with increased thermal insulation, ideal for installation in homes with cold climates.

How to choose the right double-glazed window for maximum thermal insulation?

To achieve maximum thermal insulation, it is important to choose double-glazed windows with several chambers and a low-emission coating. Such windows will reflect heat back into the room and will not allow cold air to penetrate inside.
