The cheapest and the most airtight. Good where there is nothing to air out.
Windows, doors and insulating glass made for your opening, with the area and the perimeter worked out from the dimensions on the sheet.
The panels lead to the collections you link to each of them.
The opening changes both the price and the way you use the room. A balcony door that opens inwards eats a metre of your wall.
The cheapest and the most airtight. Good where there is nothing to air out.
It opens wide and is easy to clean on both sides.
It can be set to air without standing wide open. The usual opening in a flat.
It takes up no room inside. Good for the way out to the patio.
A full opening, with no mullion in the middle on models with a movable sash.
The diagrams are seen from inside the room.

For windows facing a main road or a school yard.
Ug is for the glass, Uw for the whole window. They are two different figures and we write them separately.
Uw of the whole window: frame, glass and spacer together.
Uw changes with the size of the window: the same frame with the same glass gives a different Uw on a small opening than on a large one.
The same rows, compared on what matters in a quote.
| The line | Chambers | Glass | Uw, whole window | What for | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 5 | Double | 1,3 W/m²K | Replacement in a block of flats | |
| HouseBest seller | 6 | Triple | 0,9 W/m²K | A house you heat yourself | |
| Aluminium | — | Double or triple | 1,5 W/m²K | Large openings |
The figures come from the manufacturers’ sheets; we check them once a year, when the range changes.
A window is an assembly: frame, glass, spacer and fitting. The figure on the label speaks about only one part of it.
Ug is for the glass, Uw for the whole window. A quote that puts Ug up front and says nothing about Uw is showing you the prettiest figure in the file.
Water on the glass in winter means damp air in the room and too little airing. The new window only makes the problem visible.
