In Mexico, Kömmerling® has the only PVC window certified by FIDE (trusteeship for electric energy saving).
Unlike aluminum, rigid modified PVC is an extraordinarily insulating material from which Kömmerling® profiles are manufactured. Besides, the profiles are designed to house double glazing and to allow air-tight windows manufacturing, such as tilt & turn and others. The combination of these factors produces unequalled thermal insulation.
An insulation value of up to 1.81 W/m2°K ** is achieved when employing Kömmerling® systems and special glazing. In the window industry this insulation parameter is known as the U value.
Thinking that double glazing alone achieves good thermal insulation is a relatively generalized conceptual mistake. Although glazing is an important factor, so are the frame and sash material (PVC, aluminum, wood or other) and the operation type's air-tightness.
In the next sections, you’ll be able to see the most thermally efficient solutions.
Kömmerling® doors and windows manufactured by PVC Transforma are great added-value architectural elements.
They provide outstanding air tightness levels, acoustic and thermal insulation, energy savings, hurricane protection, marine corrosion resistance, burglary protection and fire resistance.
Kömmerling® Systems offer complete solutions that adapt to the specific requirements of each home and refer to sets that include PVC profiles, fittings, sealants and accessories for the manufacture of windows and doors that meet the highest quality standards, safety and efficiency.
