Non-Energy-Efficient and Eco-Friendly Window Systems? Learn How to Choose Soundproof and Insulated Doors 

Among the structural components that enclose and protect a home, windows have the poorest insulation performance compared to walls, roofs, and floors. They are one of the main factors that affect indoor temperature and energy efficiency. In cold northern regions, windows focus on heat retention, while in hot and humid southern regions, the focus is on insulation. In areas with hot summers and cold winters, windows must provide both heat retention and insulation. 

Thermal break aluminum systems can address all these issues. Let’s explore how they achieve this: 

1. Thermal Break:

As the name suggests, a thermal break interrupts the thermal bridge. Conventional aluminum windows are entirely made of aluminum. Due to aluminum’s low thermal resistance, when there is a significant temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, heat transfers quickly, resulting in hot homes during summer and cold homes during winter. To overcome this drawback, a thermal break is added between the aluminum frames, “breaking” the thermal bridge. This helps maintain indoor temperatures and also provides energy savings. 

2. Energy-Efficient Glass:

Choosing the right glass is also crucial. Single-pane glass has very poor insulation performance. Typically, double-pane, multi-layered, or insulated glass should be used. The air layer between the glass panes has high thermal resistance, significantly improving the window’s insulation performance. 

3. Airtightness of the Window:

The airtightness of a window can reduce energy consumption by minimizing heat exchange. For example, Rolansini windows emphasize airtightness through advanced technologies, starting from material systems, structural design, and sealing systems. They select energy-efficient glass tailored to specific regions, with the most effective option being triple-pane insulated glass + Low-E coating + Argon gas. The window frames incorporate ultra-long 39mm thermal breaks, and the higher the thermal resistance, the better the window’s insulation and heat retention performance. Additionally, the windows are equipped with dual gasket systems—the more gaskets and the tighter the seal, the better the window’s insulation, water resistance, and airtightness. 

Based on these points, choosing the right insulated windows for your home shouldn’t be too difficult. The most important thing is to carefully evaluate and compare several products. If possible, visit a showroom to experience the products firsthand.
