Which window material is best?
MOHS. PVC AND ALUMINUM WINDOWS.
What type of window do I want? What material?
It is the first question we all ask ourselves when changing or buying new windows. Choosing between aluminum, wood or PVC.
In addition to this, we must take into account the climatic zone in which we are and the exposure to noise to which we are subjected, so we will know if we need more or less insulation.
How does each of these materials behave?
Wooden windows have been the most traditionally used. It is a material with a good ecological balance, natural and that provides good insulation to the house.
Butthese windows require special care, varnishes, treatments...
Aluminum windows are a material that allows the manufacture of windows of many shapes and sizes, however it does not reach the high levels of thermal and/or acoustic insulation that other types of windows provide.
Windows made of PVC provide high levels of insulation high levels of insulation, both thermalthermal and acoustic insulation. It is a resistant material that provides security and requires minimum maintenance.
Thermal transmittance
When buying windows it is important to take into account their thermal transmittance, since the insulation and comfort of our home will depend on this value. The lower the thermal transmittance of a material, the higher its insulation.
