The UPVC used in our systems is thermoplastic, which means it can be repeatedly melted and reformed. As a result it can be recycled easily and cost effectively.
Vista Therm Performance is the latest innovation from CareyGlass International. A triple glazed unit offering the highest level of insulation in the market with a U value as low as 0.4W/m²K. Double glazed units can offer 1.0 w/m2k.
Triple glazing has a further benefit in its ability to insulate against noise. If you live beside a busy road or an airport triple glazing will eliminate noise pollution.
Generally, thicker the glass, the better it is at reducing noise. However, glass has a natural coincidence frequency. Any thickness of glass will have a pitch at which it actually amplifies the sound rather than stopping it. This is why double and triple glazed windows are recommended to counteract the coincidence frequency.
Material Properties: uPVC itself is a poor conductor of heat, meaning it effectively blocks heat transfer.
Multi-Chamber Profiles: Many uPVC profiles have internal chambers filled with air, which acts as an insulator, further reducing heat loss.
Glazing: The type of glass used is crucial. Double or triple glazing with low-E coatings creates multiple layers of insulation, preventing heat transfer.
Weather Sealing: High-quality weather seals prevent air leakage, enhancing insulation and reducing noise pollution.
Benefits of Insulated uPVC Windows
Energy Efficiency: Reduced heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, leading to lower energy bills.
Comfort: Maintains a consistent indoor temperature, enhancing comfort throughout the year.
Noise Reduction: The multiple layers of glass and airtight seals significantly reduce external noise.
Condensation Control: Helps prevent condensation, reducing the risk of mold and dampness.
Durability: uPVC is resistant to weather elements, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Ireland’s mild yet damp climate presents specific insulation challenges. While uPVC windows are inherently efficient, optimizing them for Irish conditions can significantly enhance comfort and energy savings.
Prioritize Triple Glazing: While often associated with colder regions, triple glazing offers substantial benefits in Ireland. It excels at blocking heat loss and reducing noise pollution. However, weigh the cost against potential savings, as the impact might be less pronounced than in harsher climates.
Focus on Low-E Coatings: Ensure your windows have low-emissivity coatings to minimize heat transfer. These coatings reflect radiant heat back indoors during winter and prevent heat gain in summer.
Check Weather Seals: Regularly inspect and replace worn weather seals to maintain a tight fit and prevent air infiltration. High-quality seals are crucial for preventing heat loss and reducing drafts.
Consider Frame Depth: Deeper uPVC frames often provide better insulation due to increased air pockets. This can contribute to improved energy efficiency.
