Heat insulation

The most appropriate material in regards to heat insulation of window and door frames is wood. In comparison to metals wood’s heat insulating capability is 1.800 times bigger than steel and 4.000 times bigger than aluminum.

The widely used, in Greece, aluminum frame without thermal breaking not only lacks heat insulating capability but acts as a heat accumulator, “storing” in fact the cold or heat inside it thus increasing the costs for maintaining temperature indoors.

It’s clear that the use of wooden window and door frames in a building automatically reduces energy consumption both for heating during winter and cooling during summer. Additionally, advanced technological materials are used in producing a modern wooden frame, like double layered heat-insulating glass panes and the mediums of waterproofing, raise even more heat-insulating capability of wooden frames leading to excellent results.
