What are the benefits of energy-saving windows

10.10.2023

When installing windows, people think about their aesthetics and reliability. But few people take energy saving parameters into account. IMZO experts explain what energy-efficient windows are made of and how they help reduce heating costs.

Conventional windows lose up to 40% of the heat accumulated in the room. In houses where energy-saving double-glazed windows are installed, the level of heat loss through windows is reduced to 10%. This optimizes the cost of heating and cooling rooms, and also reduces the harmful impact on the environment.

Such windows use low-emissivity glass (i-glass). A special silver coating is applied to the inner surface: it transmits light rays, but does not allow molecules of warm or cold air to leave the room. Thus, the air at the desired temperature remains inside for a long time.

Silver plating acts as a reflector for harmful infrared radiation from the street. Also, low-emissivity glass does not transmit long-wave radiation. Hot or cold air from the street will not affect the room temperature through the glass. Therefore, the room will be cooler in summer and warmer in winter. At the same time, i-glass is as transparent as ordinary glass.

Inside the energy-saving packages there is an inert gas, argon. Its density is higher than the density of oxygen, so such double-glazed windows transmit less noise and cold. At the same time, argon is absolutely safe for humans and remains transparent for a long time.

People who install energy-efficient double-glazed windows spend less money on heating and cooling their rooms. The room remains at a comfortable temperature for a long time, and there is no need to leave the air conditioner or heater constantly running. The air does not dry out, which has a beneficial effect on the health of others. Be sure to pay attention to energy saving options when choosing windows.
