Triple Glazing
Bit by bit, we are being encouraged to switch from double to triple glazing. You may not have noticed yet but the pressure is on to improve the energy performance of windows and we are now reaching the stage where mere double glazing will no longer be enough.
Triple glazing benefits and reasons to invest:
• Maximum security and added durability
• Block out noise from the outside world
• Ultimate insulation
• Lower household bills
• Environmentally friendly
• Maximum comfort
Triple glazing allows a high level of solar heat gain, capturing warmth from natural daylight and drawing it into your home, combined with exceptional thermal insulation properties to keep the heat in. The outcome is a window that may well achieve and exceed the maximum “A+” window energy rating and provide an even lower U-value* for even more savings on your energy bills.
The enhanced thermal efficiency of triple glazed windows ensures that cold spots are eliminated. Triple glazed windows can also be optimised to deliver excellent thermal acoustic performance – minimising noise levels from outside.
SCG Planitherms 4
SGG PLANITHERM 4S is a glass with a special layer providing both high thermal insulation and solar control. Now, you can enjoy the perfect temperature and the ideal light in any season. Winter-summer comfort function maintains a pleasant atmosphere throughout the year and reflexivity adds an elegant touch to the space. Thermopanes made of Planitherm 45 provide a thermal insulation 3 times higher than ordinary glass would offer.
Advantages of SGG Planitherm 4S:
• Lower energy costs – Reducing heating costs (50%) and the home cooling costs (40%) due to an optimal insulation.
• Higher comfort in the room – Spreading even heat, without cold areas near the windows. Reducing the risk of condensation on the interior glass.
• High light transmittance (71 %)
• Architectural freedom – Neutral colours both in transmittance and reflection of light.
• Slightly bright appearance for better aesthetics.
• Environmental protection – Reducing CO2 emissions

1. MAXIMUM THERMAL INSULATION
Our company offers standard windows, eql:.tipped with an insulated pack with cutting-edge thermal insulation. The thermal insulation coefficient for a thermopane of 24 mm may reach to Ug= 1.0 W /m2.K.
The value of the thermal insulation coefficient can be improved by adding a third glass pane. It may reach up to 0.6 W /m2.K. Thus we obtain better thermal and acoustic insulation, that will increase the comfort of your room. Thickness may vary from 32, 34 to 42 mm, depending on the selected profile.
2. HIGH SECURITY
The main purpose of the security glass is not only to protect the user, but also to protect buildings against burglary.
ESG security glass is 4 times more resistant than a standard glass to temperature changes, strong winds and shocks. It is characterized by a high resistance to sagging and cracks. If it breaks, it disjoins into small cubes, without any cutting edges.
3. OPTIMAL ACOUSTIC INSULATION
The characteristics of a perfect acoustic insulation create a calm atmosphere both in the countryside as well as in a city center. Depending on the desired performance, acoustic insulation can be achieved in two ways:
• Using a pack of various thickness glass panes
• Choosing a pack with an anti-burglar glass
4. BEST SOLAR CONTROL
There is a trend in modern buildings field to use large glass surfaces. However, large glass surfaces require extra protection against sun ray irradiation.
This type of glass is obtained through pyrolytic deposition of a silica layer on a clear or coloured glass. The effect of solar control depends mostly on glass thickness (4 or 6 mm) and on colour (bronze, gray, green or blue). We offer a wide range of solar protection glass: Planitherm 4S, Parsol or Stopsol.

Hardware
A quality hardware ensures optimum performance and safety of the joinery, being a compulsory element in the joinery production. Our joinery is equipped with Winkhaus or Maco hardware. We offer our clients a wide range of products, characterized by quality and design.
Hardware Advantages
• High reliability
• Perfect tightness• Manufacturers warranty for an average of 15,000 open/ close cycles
• Multipoint locking elements
• Anti-burglar systems: Wk I orWk2
Our standard joinery is equipped with the Winkhaus Active Pilot system. It has a mis-handling component that prevents the handling errors when opening the window in the normal or tilt position. It is also equipped with a SECUSTIK secured handle against external opening attempts, and with a controlled ventilation system.
Optionally, you can choose the Maco Multi Matic system, which will provide optimum and precise performance of the joinery. The standard hardware offers the following advantages: a practical system for 13 mm micro-ventilation and the mishandling device.
The hinges are made of extruded aluminium and can be adjusted in three dimensions, multipoint locking and anti-burglar option.
Feature Overview
The below diagram and feature overview demonstrates how our innovative products are truly designed with the end user in mind.
1. PERSONAL PROTECTION
The modular locking concept allows the personalization of the security level. Security levels are easily adapted and with the WK2 system, a full level can be reached.
2. EASY ADJUSTMENT
It features a new locking system based on an innovative octagonal roller lock. It can be easily adjusted. Movement tolerances of the rebate are automatically absorbed by the blocking points.
3. HIGH QUALITY
RAL durability tests confirm the quality of Winkhaus hardware and guarantee the purchase of a product with a long life.
4. ENERGY SAVING
The multiple ventilation provides multiple different positions of the sash, and thus a rapid and easy ventilation. It continuously allows fresh air in, without a significant loss of energy.
5. PLEASANT DESIGN
Due to the pleasant design, the windows are positively remarked to most windows on the market. Enhance your windows with the Winkhaus Active Pilot system.
6. INCREASING COMFORT
The Active Pilot modular system can be easily completed with additional functions. Use these flexible additional facilities to enhance your comfort.
