When discussing the energy efficiency of buildings, the most common topics are glazing specifications, the thickness of wall insulation and the performance class of joinery. Far less attention is paid to a phenomenon which, in practice, can determine actual energy losses, comfort...
Choosing the right glazing should be taken just as seriously as choosing the window frame. It is the glass that makes up the majority of a window’s surface area, so it has a significant impact on whether the interior will be warm in winter and better protected from noise. In prac...
Modern construction is increasingly based on the premise that energy efficiency does not stem from a single element, but from the well-designed interaction between windows and doors and sunshades integrated with control systems. In this context, home automation becomes a tool for...
Rising temperatures and increasingly frequent heatwaves during the summer months mean that thermal comfort inside buildings is becoming one of the key challenges of modern architecture. However, there is an increasing search for alternatives to energy-intensive air conditioning –...
Choosing window frames is one of the most important decisions when building or renovating a house. Windows are crucial not only for the comfort of living, but also for the safety, energy efficiency and durability of the entire investment. In this context, certificates are an impo...
In summer, we are increasingly faced with extreme temperatures that not only put strain on building air conditioning systems but also negatively affect our overall wellbeing. The increase of energy costs and the requirements of sustainable building mean that passive cooling metho...
Nowadays, we are paying more and more attention to the issues of energy saving and care for the environment. Houses that are designed in the spirit of sustainability not only reduce energy bills, but also contribute to reducing carbon emissions. The key component of such building...
Sun screens are an excellent solution combining functionality and esthetic design, providing comfort and weather protection. Choosing the right product is not easy, though, as there are a variety of materials and options available on the market, making it possible to customize so...
Windows are more than just frames and glass – their functionality and user comfort largely depend on accessories that are not visible at first glance. This is where window fittings come into play, serving as mechanisms for opening, closing and sealing window sashes. Find out what...
Winter can be a real challenge for the family budget. Due to rising energy prices, heating your home is starting to cost a pretty penny. Fortunately, there are effective ways to lower your heating bill without sacrificing thermal comfort. One of the things that affect the energy ...
Although many people treat door handles as mere details, their proper choice is of considerable importance. What door handles should you choose to meet all your expectations? Let us look at the variety of door hardware and the materials that are suitable for different types of do...
Micro-tilt is a function designed to allow subtle, controlled ventilation of rooms, providing better living comfort and improving the air quality in your home. As such modern solutions as smart home systems gain in popularity, it is useful to know the benefits of these options an...
Windows with an anti-reflective coating are growing increasingly popular in modern construction and architecture. They are not only more functional, but also more aesthetically pleasing. What is anti-reflective glass? What benefits does it offer and where is it a good idea to inv...
When ordering awnings, Refleksol Systems or Venetian Blinds, we often have a choice between electric or manual drive.
We often receive questions relating to the colors of lacquering of blinds, Reflexolas, or pergolas. Customers ask whether they will be able to match the color of the system to the color of the windows or the facade of the building.
Sunshades have become an essential part of our homes. They reduce the amount of sunlight entering the interiors, thereby limiting the heating of the rooms and increasing the comfort of the occupants.
For a long time, sun shading have not only been considered as an element for improving comfort at work and leisure. Changing climatic conditions and rising energy prices make shading an important component of any building, not only reducing costs but also contributing to environm...
The use of a light intensity sensor (also known as a sun sensor), connected to the sunshade drive control, not only increases the comfort of the system, but also contributes to increased energy savings.
Interiors that are full of sunlight require effective sun protection. When deciding to purchase them, it is important to remember that external screens are much more effective.
In order to estimate the payback time of the sun shading purchase, we assume that the room is equipped with an air-conditioning and heating system and that a temperature range has been established that must be maintained inside the room (by means of an automatic controller).
