How to conserve heat In your home? Renovation seal – an effective solution

The ongoing heating season forces each of us to take numerous steps to find the best
solutions to keep as much heat as possible in our homes. So how can you effectively save
heat at home? How can you lower your bills? At VIKKING we have many patents for this.

What is energy-saving joinery?

People who are in the process of designing and building a house obviously have the privilege
of preventing problems related to leaky external doors and windows in advance. Following the rule
that “prevention is better than cure”, choosing the right joinery can completely eliminate some
problems.

Energy-saving joinery is a term that directly refers to windows and doors that are
characterized by high energy efficiency. Their main task is to improve the overall thermal
insulation of the building, which reduces heat losses and reduces the energy consumption
needed to heat the rooms.

The energy values of PVC windows and external doors are expressed using appropriate
parameters. Simply put, they inform us how much heat “escapes” through doors and windows;
the lower their value, the better thermal insulation we achieve.

In windows, this value is expressed, among others, by the Uw coefficient, while such
parameters in external doors are determined by the Ud index (value).

That is why at VIKKING we only offer our customers products that meet strict standards
related to the concept of energy efficiency, dedicated to passive construction.

Innovative composite doors and PVC windows also available in unique decorative
structures (see:…) Thanks to this, we obtain products that will certainly allow you to effectively
retain heat in your home and at the same time create a comfortable and designer space.

Unfortunately, we are not always in a situation where we are just starting to build our
dream home and have full control over all elements of the project.

How to reduce your heating bills?

The global economic situation, which has caused a significant increase in prices, is
putting a significant strain on household budgets. Faced with such challenges, we are looking
for ways to effectively retain such valuable energy. A well insulated home not only means better
well-being and thermal comfort, but above all the possibility of reducing bills during the heating
season.

Maintaining a constant room temperature (satisfactory for the household members) which
means significantly reduced bills may be virtually impossible in homes with poor-quality or worn-
out door and window joinery.

In a situation where we do not have the opportunity to invest in fully energy-efficient
products, we are forced to look for other solutions. One of the elements that influence the thermal insulation of both doors and windows are seals. They are responsible for the tightness of the connections between the frame and the sash, preventing cold air from entering the building.

High-quality seals significantly improve the energy efficiency of a building. It is therefore
the fastest way to improve and protect the building against drafts, moisture and unwanted noise.
To meet such expectations and growing needs, the VIKKING R&D department has
developed technology in the joinery sealing segment.

What is the VIKKING renovation seal?

The VIKKING renovation seal is a perfect solution for leaky windows and doors.

The silicone seal with a specially designed, asymmetrical shape is more durable than
traditional EPDM seals. Even after many years, it does not undergo permanent deformation,
which guarantees its long service and effective protection against heat loss.

Importantly, thanks to the developed technology, it does not lose its flexibility and even
at very low and high temperatures (from -40°C to +80°C) it retains its flexibility and working range
from 2 to 9 mm.

Renovation seals marked with the VIKKING crown are successfully used in the
production process of both composite doors and VIKKING windows exported to the farthest
corners of the world and various climate zones. It is the proven and appreciated by customers
technology that allows us to offer this effective solution.

Renovation seals fit almost all window systems. This is an original solution that is the
subject of our international patent protection. By choosing this solution, we are sure that
the house will be effectively insulated at a small financial cost.

Saving heat in your home is not only good for your wallet and the environment, but also
for our daily convenience and comfort. Investing in products and accessories that will
help you achieve this long-term investment that will only bring benefits.
