Whether we\u2019ve just built a house or are in the process of renovating our place, the main thing we think about is how to make it as\u00a0comfortable<\/strong>,\u00a0secure<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0welcoming<\/strong>\u00a0as possible.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we want to choose the best building materials and we pay special attention to the elements that connect our home to the outside world. And these are the\u00a0ideal windows<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0doors<\/a>, because our ultimate goal is to create an oasis of tranquillity in the midst of daily chaos.<\/p>\n

And then, we focus on windows and doors to provide\u00a0protection<\/strong>,\u00a0resistance<\/strong>,\u00a0security<\/strong>\u00a0and increased temperature and noise\u00a0comfort.<\/strong>\u00a0What do we call these? Thermopanes.<\/em><\/p>\n

But is \u2018thermopane\u2019 a term that perfectly defines the optimal solution to our needs, or is it just a version by which we involuntarily limit our options, not fully enjoying the numerous\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>benefits\u00a0<\/a><\/em>brought by the PVC joinery universe with\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>insulating glass<\/a><\/em>?<\/em><\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s what we wanted to talk about now.<\/em><\/p>\n

What does the term \u2018Thermopane\u2019 actually mean?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cThermopane\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is an English term and is defined as the weather-resistant glazing that provides noise and heat insulation and is installed on windows and doors. If we adapt this definition to professional language, we will say that the thermopane is actually the\u00a0insulating glass<\/a>\u00a0that is part of the windows and door units.<\/p>\n

But we know there are many types of insulating glass, each of which has different features and roles. Putting them all under the term \u2018thermopane\u2019, we only limit their meaning and benefits, often leading to wrong choices.<\/p>\n

\u2018Thermopane\u2019 is actually a registered trademark that appeared in the US in 1941 based on Thomas Stetson\u2019s initiative, who, as early as 1865, started manufacturing a primitive version of insulating glass. At that time, the thermopane consisted of glazing made of two panes of glass bound together and separated by a metal rod, the distance between the two panes being less than 1.3 cm.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the technology underlying the production of thermopanes at that time differs significantly from the class of products this name is nowadays attributed to.<\/p>\n

But, similarly to other brands that have become generic in time, defining certain product categories such as \u2018Xerox\u2019 or \u2018Eugenia\u2019, the thermopane has come to define the\u00a0industry of PVC joinery with insulating glass<\/strong>, which is not technically correct from the perspective of an expert in this area.<\/p>\n

Thermopane and PVC joinery with insulating glass are one and the same?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The answer is definitely NO.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We have already made it clear that insulation refers only to glass. When choosing our\u00a0windows<\/a>, although we must clearly consider the type of insulating glass, we should also be careful about the base on which the glass is installed.<\/p>\n

Here, we are referring to the window or door profile, which, alongside the glass, is designed to improve the strength, durability, and noise- and heat-insulation capacities of the window.<\/p>\n

Moreover, thermopane refers to the two panes of glass bound together and separated by a metal rod.<\/p>\n

A reliable manufacturer of PVC joinery with insulating glass will offer you two- or three-pane options, separated by\u00a0warm-edge spacers<\/strong>\u00a0(warm-edge technology<\/a>), which will help you increase the\u00a0energy performance<\/a>\u00a0of your residence by reducing heat loss in winter and avoiding overheating in summer.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, such a manufacturer will help you choose the best type of glass for your windows, depending on the\u00a0area<\/strong>\u00a0you live in, the type of\u00a0climate<\/strong>\u00a0and the direction the windows and doors of your home face.<\/p>\n

Therefore, if you want your\u00a0windows and doors<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0last<\/strong>\u00a0for a long time and provide you with\u00a0full comfort<\/strong>, protection and safety, do not just buy\u00a0thermopanes<\/strong>, but consider the complete set of elements constituting the\u00a0PVC joinery with insulating glass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
