1. You can lower your heating costs | Change Windows
If you have a house that was built before the mid-70s, you probably have connected side-hung double-glazed windows. Such a window draws around 3 watts/sqm, while a modern triple-glazed window draws at most 1.2 watts/sqm. All windows from MAS Home Improvement are classified as energy windows, but we also have energy windows with extra good insulation that draw 0.79 watts/sqm.
2. You can get a more comfortable temperature in the summer
If you have south-facing windows, you can often experience that it gets very hot when the sun is shining, especially in the summer. A modern triple-glazed window has a low-energy coating that reduces radiant and solar heat, giving you a much more pleasant climate and more even temperature indoors. We at MAS Home Improvement also offer a solar protection glass that lets in an almost identical amount of light as ordinary glass, but shuts out two-thirds of the sun’s heat.
3. You can have a quieter living environment
There is a big difference in the experience of noise between older and modern windows. A classic double-glazed window from before the mid-70s reduces noise by about 25-27 decibels, while a modern triple-glazed window reduces sound by 35 decibels. Even if it is only 10 decibels, the ear perceives it as being three times quieter indoors. If you have a lot of noise outside from roads, railways or airplanes, noise-reducing glass may be needed to reduce the noise level even more. Home Improvement offer noise-reducing glass cassettes for you who are affected by a noisy outdoor environment.
