Good thermal insulation is vital to keep the temperature inside our house at an optimal level, without excessive heating or cooling costs, it is necessary, among other things, to have a window system that prevents energy losses.

PVC windows minimize these heat or cold losses and will help maintain a pleasant atmosphere inside the home.

It is good to know that the thermal losses of a window can be of two types:

– Filtration: The outside air is filtered through the window seals. To reduce these losses, it is important to have windows with good air permeability.

Filtration losses depend on the chosen window system (for example, as a rule, filtration losses are lower in a practicable system than in a sliding system), the tools used, the joints and the quality of manufacture, among others.

– Thermal Transmission: Depending on the insulating characteristics of the materials there will be a greater or lesser energy transmission.

PVC windows minimize leaks and heat transfer for the following reasons:

The thermal conductivity of PVC is lower than that of wood and two to four times lower than aluminum, which means that the properties of this material are best for insulating your home from the outside temperature.
