NEW TRENDS IN THE BUILDING OF FAMILY HOUSES


In recent years, a higher degree of investor claims can be clearly observed on the own architectural look of a family house. These demands are no longer focused only on the interior, but increasingly on the exterior.

One of the most important roles is played by window elements, especially it's look and layout. Increasingly, on one hand simple window elements without decorative additives are promoted and on the other hand more and more variability of colors or other finishes are desired.

An example of these trends is the use of aluminum frame on plastic windows and HS portals. When an investor with very economical or tight budget reaches the same luxury look of an exterior as when using aluminum elements. The frame is firmly attached to the window and, in addition to the window design, also provide additional protection. Decor of Aluminum frame can be selected from more than 170 colors.
The trend is also of large glazed surfaces which through bringing more light increases space optically and connects us with outside. At the same time, the offered solutions must be in line with the investor's requirement for the lowest possible energy consumption.

A representative of classic product, which is increasingly used in the construction of family houses, is the lift-sliding door called HS Portals. The top in this area are the SWD LIFT & SLIDE HS portals from Superior Windows & Doors.

What are the main advantages of SWD LIFT & SLIDE – HS PORTAL

·         Perfect combination of transparency and heat insulation
·        The new generation of lifting-sliding doors combines a movable monorail casement with
       fixed frame glazing and minimal view widths.
·       This large frameless glazing with clean lines forms an almost invisible link between the inside and outside, extending the living space beyond its actual limits.
·       Simple operation, including with large casement weights, with optimum coordination of the lifting components.
·        Outstandingly quit running, thanks to the combination of trie-and-tested HS fittings systems and high-grade steel runners.
·       Flexible and wear-free EPDM moulded sealing parts for lasting tightness against wind and driving rain
·        Available in both, PVCu and Aluminum.

UPVC WINDOWS ALWAYS ADAPT TO YOUR NEEDS – PART 2

Obrázek
The number of chambers is not only important value to follow The outer wall of the uPVC profiles is usually 2.8-3 mm thick, with the inner cavity of the profile divided by partitions into several chambers. Usually, more chambers mean better thermal insulation properties. What is more significant than the number of chambers is the coefficient of heat transfer  through the frame - the  lower the coefficient, the lower the heat losses across the profile. On the other hand, fewer chambers mean more space for steel reinforcement, which can then be more massive. The greater the window size, the higher the requirement is for the static load-bearing capacity that the metal reinforcement provides. These design elements determine the maximum size of the windows that can be produced from the profile type. The uPVC windows are excellently proven both in the construction of new family houses and in the reconstruction of older houses because of their variable capabilities.  ...

Aluminum windows and doors as part of lifestyle

Obrázek
When we talk about windows or doors, it  always has an image of the owner.  Let´s start with the front door, it will underline the overall appearance of the building and will tell a lot about its owner. Aluminum is used in both commercial and residential construction in applications such as window and door frames, exterior cladding, storefronts, curtain walls, shading devices and skylights. Aluminum frames have multiple chambers, at the same time they have a broken thermal bridge and contain a central seal. Aluminum window profiles from the leading manufacturers meet requirements for the construction of low-energy and passive houses. They almost always apply where there are high requirements for the architectural design of the building.  Aluminum windows and doors are the highest league  that still represent smaller share on the US market, not due to worse features, but because of the price that is higher than uPVC or wood. We all know part of technology ...

To get some fresh outdoor air into your home is important for your health

Obrázek
Fresh outdoor air contains 400 ppmv (parts per million volume) of CO2 (carbon dioxide). Humans and animals exhale the same gas at the same time in amount that depends on their physical activity. In rooms that are not sufficiently ventilated, this gas accumulates and causes what we can call the stuffy air. Staying in such rooms can lead to many health problems - from fatigue and drowsiness to irreversible damage of your health.  Content of the CO2 for feeling of the fresh air is up to 700 ppmv. Values above 1000 ppmv are less suitable for permanent residence and sleeping (eg in the apartment), above 1500 ppmv is unsuitable. At 5,000 ppmv (PEL - Permissible Exposure Limit), the stay must be limited for the shortest time as possible.  At 25,000 ppmv (NPK - maximum admissible concentration) there is a risk of death by suffocation.  The correct ventilation intensity in the room or house can be calculated according to the number of people in the room and their physical activ...
