Question 1

What is the maximum size of a window?

Accepted Answer

It all depends on the design, the thermal requirements and the planned budget. The standard glass that is imported is 3.21 x 6.00 m (Jumbo)

Question 2

Is it worth buying more expensive glass?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a lot depends on the glass. Investing in better glass, combined with a good system, will ensure the comfort of your buildings and have a better return on investment over time. Naturally, the glass should not only be the most expensive, but also meet the specific requirements of the work

Question 3

What is laminated glass?

Accepted Answer

Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that is held together when broken. Laminated glass is two pieces of glass glued together with an impact-resistant intermediate layer.

Question 4

What is U-value?

Accepted Answer

The U-value (or U-factor), more correctly called the overall heat transfer coefficient, describes how well a building element conducts heat (in our case the frames and glass of our doors and windows). It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given surface under standardized conditions. A lower U value is better at reducing heat transfer. To comply with building regulations on a new build, a window must achieve a U value of 2.0 W/m2K and in an extension or alteration of 1.6 W/m2K. A door must achieve a U value of 2.0 W/m2K in a new build and 1.8 W/m2K in an extension or alteration.

Question 5

What are the characteristics of a double glazed window for thermal insulation? (Low-E®)

Due to the fact that in recent years we are increasingly faced with increasing heat, gas, electricity tariffs, the problem of energy conservation is becoming more and more current. Specialist studies show us that the energy losses through windows with single-pane glass is approximately 80%.
 
The use of Etalon-Prim Low-E® thermal insulation glass reduces heat loss through the glass and saves money for heating in the cold period of the year.
 
Etalon-Prim Low-E® insulating glass reflects infrared rays (heat) emitted by radiators, heaters and other heat sources, thus reducing up to 80% temperature loss through the glass. Glass (Low-E®) is used in the manufacture of Thermopan Glass, a very fine and transparent layer of silver oxides is deposited on one of the glass surfaces, which allow the sun's rays to penetrate the room to heat the interior, but do not allow heat to be lost through the window. Due to its excellent thermal insulation capacity, the Etalon-Prim Low-E® double glazing increases thermal comfort and saves money for maintenance in the cold season.

The Etalon-Prim Low-E® insulating glass is transparent and practically does not differ from an ordinary insulating glass.
 
Etalon-Prim Low-E® insulating glass can also be combined with solar protection, sound insulation and security properties.
 
Good insulation properties significantly reduce energy consumption. Profiles with central sealing achieve insulation values of up to U f = 0.94 W / (m 2 K). Together with triple insulating windows (U g = 0.4). The high stability allows a thin profile design and thus large glass surfaces. This means that additional solar energy gains are achieved.

Question 6

What are the advantages of aluminum carpentry?

Accepted Answer

1. Increased resistance and stability
2. Long life span
3. Excellent sound insulation
4. Energy efficiency
5. Provides a special aesthetic

Question 7

What are the advantages of the sliding system?

Accepted Answer

The major advantages are applied in easy use, without the need for space when they are opened. In addition, it offers the possibility to achieve a wide range of "opening positions". Basically, they are the perfect solution for homes, office spaces, restaurants, swimming pools, etc.
