Types of windows according to efficiency, comfort and savings

 As we are seeing, not all windows are the same. Even less in terms of its benefits and its contribution to energy efficiency, comfort and savings for its users.

1) Passivhaus windows or high efficiency windows

They represent the highest level. They are very high-performance windows, specifically designed to achieve the best performance in insulation and airtightness and comply with the demanding Passivhaus standard. These windows have frames and sheets of great width (82 mm) and very powerful glazing, as well as their fittings to support the extra weight.

2) Efficient windows

In many cases, especially in reforms and rehabilitations, the windows must fulfill the function of substantially improving the insulation of the home, resulting in a very obvious and direct way in comfort, savings and quality of life.

3) Low end windows

Of course, there are still low-end options on the market such as enclosure solutions. Narrow aluminum or wood windows with simple glass, PVC profiles of Asian origin... are very economical options, although, logically, the features are not the same.

Types of windows according to the finish

 A few years ago, each material conditioned the color of the window. PVC windows practically only had the possibility of being sold in their characteristic white base color.

1) Plain colored windows

Thanks to the foils, PVC and aluminum windows are available in almost any shade. You can also opt for lacquer, although costs can increase significantly. 

2) Wood finish windows

In addition to wooden windows, PVC and aluminum windows are capable of imitating wood-colored finishes. With a smooth or even textured finish, thanks to the quality of the current foliate coatings, PVC windows imitate wood very well.

3) Metallic finish windows

In the same way, metallic finishes are no longer exclusive to aluminum windows, but can be recreated in PVC with amazingly realistic results and in a wide range of shades.

4) Spectral Windows

Finally, Spectral is the latest and greatest revolution in the finish of VEKA PVC windows, exclusively.

With Spectral, the PVC window becomes art, definitely becoming an element of enormous importance in the aesthetics of the home.

Sliding Door Advantages

 If you are looking to gain space in the rooms, this model is the best choice. They are a very discreet and modern alternative. Within the sliding doors there are two other varieties:

Recessed interior doors. It is necessary to make work, since it is necessary to introduce the leaf inside the wall itself.

Overlay interior doors. They do not require building work and are easy to install. It is enough to place a guide superimposed to the wall itself.

Types of windows according to shape

 Although it may seem like a minor matter, the shape of the windows is very important when choosing one material or another depending on the design needs and the experience and training of each manufacturer and its professionals.

1) Straight windows

Straight-shaped windows are the most common, especially in housing developments and blocks.

2) Curved windows

Curved windows are those in which one or all of the frames have been designed with a curved shape. There are circular, semicircle-shaped or arch-shaped in different styles (half-point, lowered).

3) Drawer viewpoints

A special type of window is the bay window with a mitred shutter box, very common in different areas of our country.

Types of entrance doors

 To explain this type of door we are going to take into account only the composition, since most of the models that we find at the entrance are swing doors. What is most valued in this type of door is good quality and safety, so we will look at the type of frame, closure or leaf.

1) Armored Doors

They are the most resistant and safe that we find in the market. Both the frame and the inner plates are made of steel and then covered with wood veneer or other materials.

2) Solid Doors

They are those that are made exclusively with solid wood. There are many designs and finishes. But the downside is that they are less secure than the previous two models. 

3) Metal doors 

They are a good solution for security or emergency doors in work areas or various facilities. They are made from some pure metal such as steel, aluminum, iron, bronze or from special alloys.

The main characteristics of metal doors ar

• Easy maintenance.

• Greater resistance and security.

• special thickness.

• hardness and durability.
