Energy-saving roof windows - do they really save energy?

Saving energy is incredibly important today due to the drastic increase in the price of electricity, and the desire to protect the environment. To achieve the best results, it is worth investing in energy-efficient roof windows. As a leading manufacturer who cares about our planet, we offer state-of-the-art roof windows that will bring real savings to any building. 

 

The Role of Roof Windows in Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is a concept worth getting to grips with if you want to pay lower energy bills. Even at the construction stage of your house, you can make investments that will help. 

 

The definition of energy efficiency is closely linked to a series of measures aimed at achieving the lowest possible threshold of energy consumption in relation to the energy costs incurred. The main idea is to use eco-friendly, efficient and economical solutions. 

 

In the building industry, energy efficiency is achieved by ensuring the right level of ventilation and insulation. This includes passive heating and cooling, effective wall and roof insulation and the installation of high-quality glazing in windows, preferably triple glazing. 

 

We have been manufacturing roof windows for many years, taking into account the most important ecological aspects. We use innovative solutions in line with the principles of sustainable development. We are aware of the impact of our activities on the environment and we want to minimise the negative effects of production, while at the same time providing our customers with access to top-quality constructions for building an energy-efficient home.

 

Natural Light and Energy Savings

By bringing more natural light into your home, you can automatically reduce your energy bills. Large glazed areas mean that during the day there is no need to shine lamps inside, just an influx of sunlight from outside to comfortably carry out household chores, work remotely or study. 

 

We offer a wide range of roof windows, skylights and rooflights to make sure you get plenty of light into your home. Featuring innovative glazing technologies, they can catch the sun's rays even when it is partly cloudy. Installing skylights is therefore cost-effective as it reduces energy consumption. 

 

Reducing Artificial Lighting and CO2 Emission

Artificial light is used in every building, it is currently impossible to function without it, but everything can be done to reduce its use during the day and its negative impact on the environment. 

 

The energy-efficient lighting system provided by LED bulbs significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions. It is estimated that a complete switch to this type of lighting in most countries would reduce CO2 production by more than 553 million tonnes per year. 

 

Impact on Heating Costs and Solar Heat Gain

Energy bills are one thing, but heating costs are another. Everyone wants to have heat in their homes, but it can be quite expensive. However, it turns out that investing in energy-efficient glazing for your roof windows, with innovative 3- or 4-pane thermal insulation, can result in lower heating bills. 

 

The high performance of flat roof windows and pitched roof windows is important, but so is their proper installation. To get the most sunlight, they should be installed on the south side. They are best installed on a roof with a pitch of 45 degrees. If the roof window is placed on the north side, the savings on heating costs will not be as noticeable, as this is where the least amount of sunlight is available. 

 

It is always worth entrusting the installation of roof windows to a professional, who will ensure that there is no heat escaping through the glazing (so-called thermal bridges). The tightness of the insulation is crucial, as is the vapour permeability around the windows. Modern production methods ensure that all the components that make up the glazing fit together perfectly.

 

Advanced Energy-Saving Features in Roof Windows

We offer highly energy-efficient roof windows that are ideally suited to the needs of passive houses. The glazing units are mounted on specially designed sash frames with an extended frame compared to standard windows. This reduces thermal bridging and provides much better glazing insulation.

 

We have developed pivot windows with hinges above the centre of the glazing height, which enhances convenient use. The special design with a quadruple sealing system guarantees the best possible energy savings. 

 

Comparing Energy Savings: Roof Windows vs. Traditional Windows

Energy-efficient roof windows must have a low heat transfer coefficient, i.e. a Uw value of less than 1.0 W/m2K. This ensures very high thermal insulation efficiency. There is much less energy loss and at the same time, the use of solar heat for natural heating is much more efficient.

 

Investing in traditional windows is virtually out of the question in today's construction industry, where the emphasis is on maximising solar heat gain and effectively reducing energy bills. Choosing innovative energy-efficient glazing can do just that. 

 

Financial and Environmental Benefits of Energy-Efficient Roof Windows

We maintain the highest standards in the manufacture of roof windows and ensure the right production balance while reducing our carbon footprint. 

 

We use the highest quality materials for our windows that meet social, economic and environmental standards. We source them from reliable sources in order to achieve a sustainable supply chain. 

 

Increasing natural light indoors, which can be achieved by installing high-quality roof windows, automatically reduces energy consumption. Your energy bills will be automatically lower and the energy savings will be noticeable. This is because our glazing has the lowest Uw heat transfer coefficient and a high air leakage class.

 

Conclusion: The Real Impact of Energy-Saving Roof Windows

The excessive heat gain that can be achieved after installing energy-efficient roof windows is a highly desirable effect for reducing energy and heating bills. Nowadays, with the cost of maintaining a home rising every month, reducing energy consumption is a must. 

 

By investing in high-quality roof windows, you can expect a quick return on your investment. Rooms will be warmer and brighter, while air circulation will be improved. You can reduce your energy costs and ensure that your energy consumption is eco-friendly while improving your quality of life.
