DOUBLE-GLAZED WINDOWS

Double-glazed windows from Solares Energies offer multiple benefits that enhance the comfort and value of your property. These windows are designed with two layers of glass, with a space between them filled with inert gas. This design significantly improves insulation, keeping your space warmer in winter and cooler in summer, leading to lower energy costs. Furthermore, double glazing also greatly reduces noise pollution from outside, ensuring a more serene and peaceful interior environment. Double-glazed windows also tend to have a longer lifespan, offering better value for money over the long term.

Double-glazed windows are a key element in energy-efficient building design. At Solares Energies, our double-glazed windows work by trapping air between two panes of glass. This trapped air acts as insulation, limiting the transfer of heat through the window. In winter, this means less heat escapes from your home, and in summer, less heat enters, reducing the need for heating and air conditioning and consequently lowering energy costs.

The U-value is a measure of heat loss in a building element such as a window. Lower U-values signify greater energy efficiency as they indicate less heat loss. In double-glazed windows from Solares Energies, the U-value is significantly lower compared to single-glazed units due to the insulating air gap between the two panes of glass. This is why double-glazed windows are often a crucial part of energy-efficient building or renovation projects.

Double-glazed windows from Solares Energies are exceptionally effective at noise reduction.
