Energy saving triple glazed windows to meet passive house standards
Triple glazed timber windows are a highly energy efficient and sustainable choice for homes and buildings that are designed to meet Passivhaus standards. These standards, developed in Germany in the 1990s, set rigorous requirements for energy efficiency and comfort in buildings. To meet these standards, a building must be extremely well-insulated and have a high level of airtightness, as well as being designed to take advantage of natural light and solar gain.
One of the best options for triple glazed timber windows that meet Passivhaus standards is Nordvest UK Alu Clad windows and doors.
These windows are made from sustainably sourced, high-quality timber and feature an outer layer of aluminium cladding for added durability and protection. The triple glazing consists of three layers of glass separated by gas-filled spaces, which helps to reduce heat loss and increase thermal performance.
In addition to their energy efficiency, Nordvest UK Alu Clad windows and doors offer a number of other benefits that make them suitable for Passivhaus standards. They are extremely durable and long-lasting, and the aluminium cladding helps to protect the timber from weathering and rot. They are also easy to maintain, with the aluminium cladding requiring only occasional cleaning to keep it looking like new.
Another key feature of Nordvest UK Alu Clad windows and doors is their high level of airtightness. The windows are designed with a number of advanced sealing technologies that help to prevent air leakage, which is critical for meeting Passivhaus standards. This airtightness also helps to improve the overall comfort of the building, as it reduces drafts and helps to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the year.
In addition to their energy efficiency and airtightness, Nordvest UK Alu Clad windows and doors also offer a number of design options to suit different building styles and preferences. They are available in a range of colours and finishes, and can be customised to fit a variety of window sizes and shapes. Overall, Nordvest UK Alu Clad windows and doors are an excellent choice for anyone looking to incorporate triple glazed timber windows into a Passivhaus-standard building.
They offer a combination of energy efficiency, durability, and design flexibility that makes them well-suited for use in these highly efficient and comfortable buildings.
