Combat Condensation

The thermal performance attributes with the Thermalframe system ensures the many issues of condensation is dramatically reduced. 

Condensation typically forms when moist air meets a surface cold enough to reach the 'dew point’. In many New Zealand homes, that cold surface is often window glass. Even when a home is being warmed inside, any single-glazed windows will remain at, or near the temperature outside. So as the temperature drops the likelihood of condensation increases.

Thermalframe double glazing units will significantly reduce condensation. With the 16-20mm gap within the double glazed unit, the inside pane is ‘insulated’ from the outer pane by a non-conductive spacer and a sealed gap. To further improve thermal performance, the Thermalframe double glazing unit is filled with argon gas. Optional top range low emissivity (low e) glass can be included on request further reduce the chance of condensation.

This said, addressing the glazing issue alone will not solve the condensation issue. The frames of the windows must also be non-conductive, immune to cold and moisture, which is where Thermalframe prevails over aluminium or even thermally broken aluminium..

Key features:

• Non-conductive, multi-chambered UPVC profile is immune to cold and moisture

• Optimal 16-20mm gap within the glazing chamber

• Co-extruded seal system ensures air tightness

• Multi-point window locking system pulls sash tight across the length of the outer-frame, further sealing the unit

• Argon gas is included as standard within all double glazed units, low e glass recommended
