Subtleties of the device multifunctional glass

When choosing windows, attention is paid to the profile mark and materials of which the frame is made. What matters is the quality of the glass, because the glass unit makes up most of the window. The quality of heat and sound insulation of the structure, as well as its ability to transmit light, directly depends on this. There is a wide variety of double-glazed windows on the modern market; you can find ordinary, tinted, energy-saving varieties. Multifunctional glass has recently enjoyed particular popularity among customers.

This material is a glass unit with a special multilayer coating. It is applied to the glass surface in the process of deep-vacuum magnetron processing.At the same time the covering turns out completely environmentally friendly. Highly selective silver becomes the main functional layer. Double-glazed windows, created by this technology, help to significantly reduce the penetration of solar radiation into the office or apartment.

At the same time the light transmission capacity remains at the highest level. In addition, the use of such windows makes it possible to reduce the cost of heating and air conditioning of the space, since they have improved thermal insulation. In this regard, the circulation of cold air in the glass unit is reduced, eliminating the possibility of condensation on the inner glass in the cold season. In wet and hot weather, condensate will not appear on the outer glass either.

Multifunctional double-glazed windows allow you to effectively maintain an optimal indoor climate. They become a kind of mirror that reflects heat and light in both directions. Due to this property, glass works perfectly in frost and heat without sacrificing the bandwidth of the light. Multifunctional glazing helps to save on electricity.After all, heat losses will be minimal, you do not have to spend money on additional space heating. It is for these parameters that the multifunctional glass unit can be distinguished from the usual.

In addition to reducing the cost of air ventilation in the summer and space heating in the winter, multi-pane windows have many advantages. The decrease in heat energy loss is ensured by at least 78% compared to ordinary glass. The reflection of sunlight is 58%. The advantage is the high bandwidth of light. Products are characterized by optimal cost - the product pays for itself in the first 12 months of use.

Multifunctional glass is different:

• resistance to chemical and mechanical stress due to the strength of the coating;
• ensuring protection of furniture and wallpaper from fading;
• beautiful appearance due to the reflection of the color of the frame on the surface of the glass;
• a variety of configuration options.

In addition, these double-glazed windows are often universal. They can be equipped with any window designs.These glasses allow the use of a single-chamber glass unit with the same result as a two-chamber unit. This parameter provides a noticeable decrease in the load on the hinges of the window opening and its accessories. So, they extend the life of the structure.

A small minus of such windows sometimes becomes heat retention. That is, on a warm sunny day, the room can be cool, the glass unit will not be heated by sunlight, as is the case with ordinary glass.

Similar double-glazed windows can be used in buildings:

• administrative;
• commercial;
• industrial;
• residential.

They are especially effective for rooms in which seasonal ventilation and heating are regularly and intensively used.

Before you install a new glass, it is important to choose it correctly. Trust only reliable suppliers, before you buy, be sure to ask the seller a certificate of quality of goods. For installation of structures, be sure to attract professionals. If you install double-glazed windows, without knowing the subtleties of such work, you can get a bad result and monetary losses.

In order for the windows to last as long as possible, it is important to install them correctly and use them correctly. Manufacturers strongly do not recommend using curtains made of foil-coated sunscreen material, which were popular in the days of wooden windows, with such glasses. Such blinds significantly reduce the penetration of solar radiation into the room, almost completely absorbing it. However, the interaction of curtains and multi-glass can lead to the destruction of the glass or the reaction of argon, which is inside the chamber.

The design of modern glass units implies the presence of an internal chamber, which is filled with this liquefied gas (argon). Cases of actual destruction or explosion of windows have not yet happened. However, manufacturers of multi-glasses warn buyers about this particular product. This restriction does not affect the quality of the windows at all, since they perfectly reflect the sun's rays without using additional materials.

You can easily find in the network a lot of enthusiastic reviews on multifunctional glass and double-glazed windows.These products have earned the trust of users due to the fact that they combine the best characteristics of various types of glass packs. In winter, they perform the function of a reliable barrier to thermal radiation from heating equipment and do not allow heat to spread outside the room. In this case, the external radiation of heat does not enter through the glass. It provides excellent noise and heat insulation. Hostesses are particularly pleased with the fact that the decoration and upholstery does not deteriorate under the influence of direct sunlight. Multifunctional double-glazed windows help to preserve the health of flowers and other plants, creating an optimal microclimate for them.
