Energy saving starts with new windows

For several years, there are already double-glazed windows and, of course, the technical development has not stopped here either. Double glazing is therefore not equal to double glazing and so real estate owners should check exactly whether their windows are still contemporary.

In general, windows made before 1990, which are more than 25 years old, should be replaced. Even when the frame is tight, the low surface temperature of the old panes and the radiating coolness of the frame create the impression that it is pulling. The date of manufacture of the glazing can be determined quite easily, as it is printed in the interspacing area.

Only the exchange of the glazing is useful in the fewest cases. A great deal has also been achieved in the framework of the building industry over the past decades. Old aluminum frames are e.g. Correct cold bridges and should be replaced with modern windows with multi-chamber plastic frames. Plastic is nowadays the material with the best price / performance ratio for window frames. Easy to clean and weather-resistant, plastic windows last many years for your contribution to energy saving.
