OMEGA offers two main window options: thermally broken and non-thermally broken. Each caters to different needs and budgets, so understanding the technology behind them will help you choose the right fit for your project.
Thermally Broken Windows: Advanced Insulation for Ultimate Comfort
OMEGA's thermally broken windows, like the 400 series architectural windows and the 800 series residential windows, are designed for ultimate comfort and energy efficiency.
The Power of Polyamide
Thermally broken windows from OMEGA use a Polyamide strip to interrupt the heat transfer between inside and outside. This specialised material acts as an insulating material, essentially separating the interior and exterior of the window frame.
Benefits of Thermal Break Technology
By interrupting heat flow, thermally broken windows offer a range of benefits:
● Improved Energy Efficiency: Less heat transfer means your HVAC system doesn't have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature, leading to lower energy bills.
● Enhanced Comfort: Thermally broken windows can help keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter, creating a more consistent and comfortable living environment.
● Reduced Condensation: The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the window frame is reduced, decreasing the chance of condensation forming.
Non-Thermally Broken Windows: A Practical Choice for Projects
Omega also offers a line of non-thermally broken windows, including the 300 series residential windows and the 500 series architectural windows. The non-thermally broken range provides a practical and cost-effective solution for projects.
These windows are a great option for projects where:
● For like for like replacement of tired window frames, where budget is a top priority, non thermally broken windows can be installed.
● Durability and Low Maintenance are Key: These windows are crafted from high-quality materials, built to last, and require minimal upkeep.
OMEGA offers a wide selection of both thermally broken and non-thermally broken windows to suit any project.
