  2. Insulated glazing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

    A typical installation of insulated glass windows with uPVC frames. Fitting a second pane of glass to improve insulation began in Scotland, Germany, and Switzerland in the 1870s. [2] Insulating glass is an evolution from older technologies known as double-hung windows and storm windows.

  3. Window insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_insulation

    Window insulation. Window insulation reduces heat transfer from one side of a window to the other. The U-value is used to refer to the amount of heat that can pass through a window, called thermal transmittance, with a lower score being better. [1] The U-factor of a window can often be found on the rating label of the window.

  4. Polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_chloride

    Polyvinyl chloride is formed in flat sheets in a variety of thicknesses and colors. As flat sheets, PVC is often expanded to create voids in the interior of the material, providing additional thickness without additional weight and minimal extra cost (see closed-cell PVC foamboard). Sheets are cut using saws and rotary cutting equipment.

  5. Window sill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_sill

    The bottom of a window frame sits on top of the window sill of the wall opening. [1] A window sill may span the entire width of a wall from inside to outside, as is often the case in basic masonry construction, making it visible on both the interior and exterior of the building. In such a case, the exterior window sill and interior window sill ...

  6. Window - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window

    A window is an opening in a wall, door, roof, or vehicle that allows the exchange of light and may also allow the passage of sound and sometimes air.Modern windows are usually glazed or covered in some other transparent or translucent material, a sash set in a frame [1] in the opening; the sash and frame are also referred to as a window. [2]

  7. Window insulation film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_insulation_film

    A film is attached to the window frame to trap a pocket of air between the glass and the film, creating a double-glazed system with an insulating gap of still air. Thermal conductivity of still air is 0.024 W/ (m.K) and much lower than that of glass (0.96 W/ (m.K)). [1] Factors which limit the performance of a double glazed window are gap width ...

  8. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

    R. -value (insulation) The R-value (in K ⋅ m 2/ W) is a measure of how well a two-dimensional barrier, such as a layer of insulation, a window or a complete wall or ceiling, resists the conductive [2] flow of heat, in the context of construction. [3] R-value is the temperature difference per unit of heat flux needed to sustain one unit of ...

  9. Building insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

    By installing insulation, buildings use less energy for heating and cooling and occupants experience less thermal variability. Retrofitting buildings with further insulation is an important climate change mitigation tactic, [1][2] especially when buildings are heated by oil, natural gas, or coal-based electricity.
