Much of a home’s thermal sustainability is directly related to the type of openings. It is through them that the heat of the sun enters, or that the cold of rain or snow hits.
It is for this reason that the construction sector has long begun to generate efficient openings whose main objective is to reduce the climatic impact on the ambient temperature inside the home.
With this objective, the main premise is to reduce to the extreme the presence of materials that are thermal conductors such as glass or metal.
In this sense, PVC openings have proved to be one of the best solutions.
The iWin company is one of those that produces this type of openings in our country, Francisco Pérez is the owner, and he explained to RÍO NEGRO what the system is about.
The openings thus become an essential part of the energy efficiency of the house. A system that must be completed with the correct use of water, heating, electricity and waste.

“Our goal is to contribute to the sustainability of the home, which is why we work with a combination that produces aesthetics, functionality, efficiency and even safety,” explains Pérez.
When measuring the thermal incidence of openings, the concept of “thermal bridge break” or TPR is used. In all cases, PVC openings reach high RPT standards.
Another factor that contributes to thermal efficiency is that they are made with double glazing and multiple intermediate air chambers.
“What demonstrates the advantages of this system is that in winter, for example, the cold does not condense and the windows do not fog up inside the house”indicate.
In practice, this type of opening implies less need for heating in winter and air conditioning in summer.
One of the biggest misconceptions about PVC is its resistance. The structure of the openings is made of galvanized steel, which gives it enormous firmness and strength.
The openings thus become an essential part of the energy efficiency of the house. A system that should be completed with the correct use of water, heating, electricity and waste, says the interviewee from this newspaper.
