The insulation performance of windows is the key to home comfort. Northern friends have installed underfloor heating in their homes, and the energy-saving and insulation performance of windows is particularly important; For friends in the south, although they don't have heating at home, they still need to consider the insulation performance of the windows, after all, when the cold winter comes, window air leakage is not a joke.
Glass selection: Low-E glass and insulated glass
The selection of glass is crucial for achieving efficient insulation and energy conservation. Low-E glass is a good choice, as it is coated with a film on the surface of the glass that can reflect heat, prevent heat loss, and achieve insulation effect. Northern regions pay more attention to insulation, so the coating of Low-E glass is usually on the indoor layer; In the southern region, more emphasis is placed on insulation, and the coating is also located on the indoor layer.
Hollow glass is also a good choice, as it has excellent insulation performance and effective sound insulation. For cold regions such as Northeast China, three glass two cavity insulated glass is an ideal choice!
Inert gas filling: argon gas, etc
Filling the hollow layer of insulating glass with inert gases such as argon can reduce heat transfer and enhance insulation effect. Common inert gases include argon, krypton, and hernia. Generally speaking, the hollow layer of insulating glass is filled with 80% argon gas, which has the best insulation effect. If the concentration is too high, it is prone to self explosion.
Sealing: the key in the key
Sealing is another key factor in window insulation. The selection of sealing strips is crucial as they can significantly reduce indoor and outdoor temperature differences and minimize condensation. The sealing of windows mainly consists of three seals: the outer dust-proof rubber strip, the middle pressure sealing rubber strip, and the indoor sealing rubber strip. These sealing strips not only serve the purpose of sealing and insulation, but also provide waterproofing, sound insulation, and energy efficiency. The common sealing strip material is EPDM.
Broken bridge aluminum system window: ribbed insulation strip
Choosing a broken bridge aluminum system window with ribbed insulation strips is also a good choice. The double-layer aluminum alloy profile is separated by an insulation strip in the middle, forming a multi cavity structure. With multiple sealing designs, it effectively blocks heat conduction and improves the insulation performance of windows in winter.
Internally open and internally inverted windows: wind resistance and insulation are both reliable
The sealing performance of the inner open and inner inverted windows is better, with better wind resistance and insulation effect. It can avoid the phenomenon of windows freezing and unable to open due to temperature differences between indoors and outdoors, meeting the insulation needs of the East China and Northern regions.
Remember these five tips for keeping windows warm with broken bridge aluminum systems, and upgrade your home windows quickly! No more problems such as air leakage from windows, cold rooms, and cold windows, making winter no longer cold and warm during the winter!
