How to save 50% on your heating bills?

Did you know that, in cold weather, an apartment can lose 25-40% of its heat through poor-quality windows?

Every year, heating bills eat up a larger and larger share of the family budget. Unfortunately, we cannot influence rising tariffs, but there are still ways to save on heating.

For example, installing high-quality plastic windows helps significantly reduce heat loss. It is better to invest once in high-quality PVC windows than to overpay month after month, and even for years, on heating.

How do PVC windows help reduce heating costs?

The outdoor air temperature and your heating bill are closely linked. The lower the temperature outside the window, the higher the heating bill.

Choosing an energy-efficient window helps you save up to 50% on your heating bills.

It is important to make sure that the dimensions and location of each opening match the project, and that the dimensional deviations do not exceed 2-3 cm.

The thermal conductivity of the window structure is affected by its characteristics, such as:

• The profile type (GEALAN). The number of chambers, the thickness of the inner and outer walls, and the mounting depth all matter. The higher these values, the greater the load the frame can bear and the better its thermal and acoustic insulation properties. Maximum reduction of heating costs and full comfort at home will be ensured by a PVC profile that has: a thickness of no less than 82 mm, 6 chambers, and 2 mm thick reinforcement.

• The type of insulated glass unit and its formula (glass thickness and the spacing between panes). The best choice is an energy-efficient glass unit with 2 chambers (3 panes of glass), filled with inert argon gas and a coating that reflects heat back into the room.

• The type of hardware (mechanisms). This is a combination of all the metal parts responsible for opening and closing a window, switching the sashes between different ventilation modes, and so on.

RECOMMENDATION: Do not buy windows fitted with mechanisms that have a short service life, because an airtight perimeter seal is the GUARANTEE that the window keeps your warmth in. We cannot talk about energy efficiency where your window is not firmly held by the mechanism. We recommend the brands MACO (Austria) and WINKHAUS (Germany).

You will be able to open the window in 3 positions to air out the home:
1) Pull it inward toward the interior;
2) Tilt it open at the top for ventilation;
3) Tilt it open at the top for ventilation by just 6 mm (this position is called MICRO-VENTILATION; it lets you air out the home continuously so as to keep the warmth in the room without sudden temperature changes).

Only by having a mechanism with several ventilation-opening options can we keep the temperature stable in the room. Traditional mechanisms with a single opening let the warmth escape quickly, which you will feel both in terms of temperature and in terms of your finances.

ROTO hardware is designed for PVC windows and doors, with different types of openings and different geometries.

Advantages of ROTO hardware:

• It has high corrosion resistance
• The hardware hinges support 130 KG compared with other hardware that supports 80-100 KG
• ROTO is the European leader in hardware manufacturing

• The type of installation. This factor also determines with what impact and for how long the plastic windows will fulfil their main purpose, as they are designed for efficient operation over 40-50 years.
