Half values of thermal sensors transmittance of 1,2 Wm2/K
Velux 'Puts more light' to the energetic efficiency with his new generation of windows
After ten years commercialising successfully his previous family of windows of roof, Velux launches now a new generation, which incorporates 18 new patents on the construction of the window and 6 of them on the design. “The world has changed a lot of in these last ten years, especially in the market of the construction where concepts like the saving of power or the energetic efficiency have gone winning increasingly weight. Velux Has assumed the challenge that all this supposes launching a new generation of able windows to offer a greater energetic efficiency, more comfort and more natural sunlight”, signalled Pedro Poole, general director of Velux Spain.
The buildings suppose 40% of the world-wide energetic consumption as well as the greater percentage of broadcasts of gases of effect invernadero. Thus, from the European Union and from the own Spanish administration is working to reduce increasingly this incidence on the environingingment. In fact the aim for the year 2020 is that all the buildings whose construction finish from this year offer a consumption of power almost invalid. To attain this ambitious challenge, the manufacturers already have put hands to the work to launch products that allow to contribute to this improvement of the energetic efficiency. “For Velux, leadership supposes also innovation, and like mark of reference in the market of the windows, and doing well our lemma of ‘Better spaces to live and work', want to favour this tendency of energetic saving with our new generation”, added Pedro Poole.
In this sense, the new versions developed by Velux are “the windows of roof of greater energetic efficiency of market” with half values of thermal sensors transmittance of 1,2 Wm2/K (according to norm IN ISO 12567-2), in front of values of 3,2-2,4 Wm2/K of the most ancient windows or of 1,4 Wm2/K of the previous generation of this company.
The new windows Velux reduce 20% the energetic losses in winter (in comparison with a window with acristalamiento insulating of the previous generation) and duplicate the thermal sensors performance in replacement of the windows of more than twenty years of antiquity. The replacement of ancient windows by models of the new generation in a house of 100 m2 supposes a saving of 1,4 kWh/m2 year, in the consumption of primary power for heating and lighting of the house.

The freamers of the windows are now also finer and the surface glazed is until 18% elder. This provides a greater feeling of inner space and an average of 21 minutes more than natural lighting to the day in winter, that is when more needs . The new acristalamiento of solar protection leaves to happen 38% more than light, keeping the same level of protection against the heat. Like the frame of the window is finer the aireador occupies now less space, but has attained that it leave to happen the same discharge of air.

The comfort has been another of the values ensalzados by Velux in this new generation. Comfort that, as it indicates Pedro Poole, can be appreciated in different levels. For example, in the design: all the window has a more stylized design, with profiles rounded and hardware unseen in the outside and a new bar of manoeuvre in the interior, realizar in collaboration with the prestigious designer Jacob Jensen.
Comfort also in the use of the own windows with measures like the inclusion of icons identificativos on the different opening forms of the fins of the windows (to be able to ventilate the room without risk of entrance of water when it is raining); or greater comfort of use also in specific versions, like the new window Velux Integrates, which incorporates a control to distance with tactile screen of handle intuitive (similar to a tablet), with eight programs of lighting and ventilation preinstalados, as well as the possibility to create personalised programs.
And comfort also for the own installer the one who explains in this new generation, with different innovations that inciden in a simpler installation and safe.

Velux Thermo Technology
With the introduction of the system patented Velux Thermo Technology, the new generation of windows of roof improves his properties of isolation. This innovative system includes the incorporation of pieces of EPS HT400 in different points of the perimeter of the windows. It treats of a special type of poliestireno resistant to high temperatures and that it is 3,7 more insulating times that the wood. In the windows of polyurethane uses wood treated térmicamente (TMT: thermal sensors sensors Modified Timber), that contains 50% less than H2Or and isolates 24% more than the wood without treating.
An integral solution with the quality Velux
The new generation Velux offers an integral solution with the guarantee of maximum quality certified, that provides:
- The intelligent window for the daily welfare. New window Velux Integrates with 8 programs predefinidos for the comfort of the day in day out.
- The panoramic window to increase the feeling of space and expand the sights to the outside. Windows with panoramic opening until 45º.
- The window without maintenance (of varnish), ideal for humid environingingments. New windows proyectantes in available white polyurethane in more sizes with acristalamiento of Solar Protection.
- The silent window for a calm dream. Velux Integrates includes a new silent motorisation that reduces 75% the audible level of the accionamiento.
- The discreet window to integrate in the architectural heritage and improve the energetic performance. The installation sunk allows to reduce 1/10 the thermal sensors transmittance of the window (Uw).
- The window of maximum energetic efficiency offers the maximum qualification of energetic efficiency in winter and in summer, with the acristalamiento low emisivo of solar Protection -Qualification To***.
- The window modulable to give loose rein to the creativity. Ease of combination of windows, in any material of cover, in installation to normal level or installation sunk, from alone 20º of slope of roof.
- The versatile window able to adapt to the different climatological conditions. Blinds, awnings and curtains contribute protection and comfort to the users, and improve the, already of by himself excellent, technical provision of the window.
