Control the climate, control cooling costs

Air conditioning equipment must run frequently to ensure a comfortable temperature inside the house on a hot day. The associated high energy consumption is costly and has a high environmental impact. Does it have to be that way? Fortunately – no! Choosing Aluprof aluminum joinery is an effective way to make a building more energy efficient and achieve long-term savings in the household budget.

Aluminum windows and doors with high thermal insulation play a key role in saving energy all year round, but their benefits are particularly noticeable in the summer and at other times when air conditioning equipment uses increased amounts of energy.

Modern aluminum joinery solutions incorporate advanced insulating materials and special thermal partitions, effectively blocking the influx of hot air into the property. This makes it possible:

  • to increase the energy efficiency of the building,
  • to reduce bills, such as electricity bills,
  • to contribute to climate change mitigation efforts.

Aluminum doors: energy efficiency and comfort

Energy-efficient doors made of aluminum are produced in conformity with the idea of sustainable development, reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and lowering carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Of course, not only does the material itself matter here, but so do the specific technologies and parameters of the window or door joinery.

Perfect examples include the Skyline Type R panoramic sliding doors. Their large glazed surface provides an almost unlimited view of the area surrounding the building. In addition, they offer excellent thermal insulation properties to protect indoor spaces from overheating.

MB-Skyline Type R sliding doors meet the following standards:

  • air permeability of class 4 (according to PN EN 12207),
  • wind load resistance of class C3/B3 (at 1200 Pa in conformity with PN EN 12210).

Another solution that improves the energy balance of a home is MB-82HS lift-and-slide patio doors. They are exceptionally easy to use and offer extraordinary functionality due to elements such as:

  • The so-called "flush-mounted design" (flush with the floor) allows for barrier-free access, e.g., for the elderly, people with disabilities, or parents with children in strollers;
  • linear drainage system — effectively drains excess rainwater, protecting the building against water ingress;
  • narrow mullion — makes it possible to use large glazing and thus to let in even more natural light.

Aluminum windows: eco-friendly, eco-responsible, and trendy

The selection of windows also requires careful consideration. If your focus is on environmental and economic aspects, you should opt for aluminum windows. Innovative insulation materials and special inserts or thermal breaks will allow you to maintain a comfortable temperature all year round, while reducing the costs of the energy needed to cool (or heat) the interior. High insulation parameters can also be achieved by installing windows with double or even triple glazing.

Importantly, Aluprof aluminum windows are visually appealing too. Their modern design makes them perfectly aligned with contemporary architectural trends, such as:

  • minimalism — slender profiles emphasize elegance and simplicity, which is characteristic of designs representing this style;
  • biophilic design — spacious glazed areas connect the inside of the building more closely to nature, uniting residential interiors with the external landscape.


Improving the energy balance of the building by using external covers

Interiors can be cooled without consuming a lot of electricity by means of sunshades, a noteworthy example of which is the innovative SkyTwin system, which combines a roller-shutter and a screen. The external roller shutters used improve the energy balance by as much as 90%. Studies confirm that this is how much sunlight can be prevented from entering the building – all this thanks to shutters installed outside (rather than inside the building).

Less frequent use of air conditioning and protection of the interior from the harmful effects of UV radiation is also ensured by SkyFlow external Venetian blinds and SkyRoll screens.

Importantly, the above solutions are compatible with Aluprof windows and doors, thus fitting into the "all in one" concept, making it possible to further improve the energy efficiency of buildings.  Learn more about our solutions to increase user comfort, achieve savings, and at the same time have a positive effect on the climate — visit the website: sunprotect.aluprof.com/en.
