Perfect window solution for passive houses

The manufacturer of plastic window profiles Deceuninck introduces a new window solution for passive houses. The new profile offers a unique solution that significantly increases the thermal insulating properties of the window while maintaining its design.

The basis of the low-energy window solution is the popular profile Inoutic Prestige. The original six-chamber system has been modified to a four-chamber profile, which is additionally filled with a special insulating foam Inoutic. This insulating material significantly reduces the heat transfer through the frame to a minimal coefficient value (U(f)= 1.0 W/m²K), while maintaining the standard structural depth of the frame at 76 mm. The profile Inoutic Prestige allows for the installation of an insulating triple glazing with a maximum thickness of 44 mm. When using these materials, the overall heat transfer through the window is reduced by more than thirty percent (U(w)= 0.74 W/m²K). Thanks to this value, the window profile Inoutic Prestige meets even the most stringent standards for energy-efficient passive houses.

Windows made from the profiles Inoutic Prestige maintain a structural depth of the window frame of 76 mm, while competing profiles fill only some of the chambers with insulating material, which they also expand for this purpose. As a result of this expansion, competing profiles increase the structural depth up to 110 – 120 mm, which of course raises the requirements for window installation.
