The main functions of a window are to protect the building and its occupants from the influence of external factors (too low or high temperatures, noise, etc.) and to ensure natural lighting. Therefore, one of the most important elements in the equation of the quality of a window is the glass.
The thermal and sound insulation properties of windows are largely influenced by the quality of the insulating glass. It is of great importance to choose the right glazing considering that the glass represents 80% of the surface of a window. Thus, our technical and sales advisors will always offer you the optimal solution.
Winter comfort
Thermally insulated glazing blocks the heat already existing in the room, but at the same time allows natural light and heat from the sun to penetrate through the glass, thus warming the room in the cold season.
Energy saving
Thanks to the airtight glazing system, heat is kept inside during the cold season and solar radiation is reflected during the summer. Thus, heating and air conditioning costs are significantly reduced.
Summer comfort
Glazing reflects 2/3 of the solar radiation, but at the same time allows light to penetrate the interior. A comfortable temperature is maintained, without compromising on natural lighting.
Transparency
Natural lighting is one of the conditions for comfort. We use glass with a high degree of transparency, for light transmission and reduced costs of artificial lighting.
Safety
Glass lamination is an effective method of accident protection. In the event of glass breakage, the shards remain attached to the plastic film (PVB) sandwiched between the glass panels.
Security
To protect property and people inside, we recommend laminated security glass, which involves two plastic films (PVB) sandwiched between two glass panels.
Acoustic comfort
It blocks out disturbing noise from outside and transforms your home into a calm space to live in. Acoustic glazing contains a special plastic film that prevents sound from spreading from one panel of glass to another.
The range of glasses included in the insulating glass packages manufactured by ADF Company
Float (standard):
Clear glass with a neutral appearance, suitable for multiple uses, which excels in transparency and superior light transmission. It is the base glass used for the manufacture of most other processed products: low-emissivity glass, solar control glass, laminated glass, sandblasted glass, ornament, etc.
Low -E:
Coated glass for glazing with increased thermal insulation. It represents the range of low-emissivity coated glass. These products are made of clear glass on which fine, transparent layers of metallic compounds are deposited. The reduced emissivity conferred by these coatings reflects infrared radiation, specific to the heat coming from heating. In the cold season, this function considerably reduces radiant heat losses through the glaze.
Solar control:
Coated glass for glazing with increased thermal insulation, solar protection and transparency. It is a coated glass with double property: low emissivity ( reflects long-wave infrared radiation) and solar control ( reflects a large part of solar energy). This is a type of clear glass on which a thin transparent layer composed of material of metallic origin is deposited by the vacuum cathodic sputtering process.
Laminated:
Laminated safety and security glass. Laminated glass consists of two or more sheets of glass assembled using one or more polyvinyl butyral (PVB) films. Depending on the number of PVB films, there is laminated glass that provides the functions of:
- safety: having a single PVB film with a thickness of 0.38 mm.
- security: having two or more PVB films, each with a thickness of 0.38 mm. By varying the number and / or thickness of each component, laminated glass with different levels of security is obtained .
- acoustic comfort: glass with acoustic and security functions composed of two or more sheets of glass assembled using one or more acoustic PVB films. It considerably attenuates external noise inside the home exposed to noise in polluted areas.
Decorative (ornament):
Glass that has a decorative appearance. It is mainly used for interior and exterior design, in a variety of patterns and sizes customized by sandblasting or printing.
