Thermal break windows <\/strong>play a fundamental role in contemporary construction. To better understand what they are and what they are for<\/strong>, we need to enter the philosophy of Capoferri, in which aesthetics and functionality merge together in a single product.<\/p>\n

The thermal break windows are designed to improve the energy efficiency of the building they belong to and reduce costs for maintaining the optimal temperature, without altering the intended harmony of the architectural facade.<\/p>\n

Behind the thermal break windows hides a complex technology<\/strong>, a set of perfect mechanisms conceived with a particular eye on sustainability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In new projects as well as in the recovery of historic buildings it is not possible to ignore excellent thermal insulation, taking into consideration the design. From this arises the need to create custom-made thermal break windows, designed in harmony with the lines of the facade, the request of the client or in compliance with the provisions of the Superintendency in the case of a building under the constraint of the Fine Arts.<\/p>\n

Thermal break windows: what they are<\/h2>\n

Thermal break windows <\/strong>represent the perfect combination of architecture and sustainability. The trait d\u2019union<\/em> is technology, which, hidden under impeccable design fulfils the need for high-performance windows and is capable of insulating from a thermal point of view.<\/p>\n

We tend to define this kind of door and window as innovative, because it meets the needs of:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • energy saving;<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • thermal insulation.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Their installation is highly recommended both in modern buildings, palaces and historic buildings. The importance of this type of window is also supported by current regulations which provide for bonuses and tax relief <\/strong>on all windows with certified thermal requirements.<\/p>\n

      So, what thermal break frames are and how are they built?<\/p>\n

      Although we can take for granted that in Capoferri nothing derives from standardized production, let us start with the basic structure that constitutes these fixtures to better understand their effectiveness.<\/p>\n

      The thermal break of our windows is integrated into the profile, making it completely invisible. In fact, its small size allows it to disappear inside the structure. This is possible thanks to the ingenious system that sees two 5 mm T-plates coupled with absolutely invisible<\/strong> welds and silicone gaskets. Their thickness varies according to the glazing used, the size of the window or door and the required wind resistance. Even the joints of the opening parts have a minimal and homogeneous design in line with the rest of the window. The result is an excellent performance in terms of sealing at high and low temperatures as well as water and air<\/strong>. The thermal break windows also guarantee a high degree of acoustic insulation<\/strong>, generating an unparalleled comfort.<\/p>\n

      Thermal break windows: what they are for<\/h2>\n

      As the focus is in every aspect on the respect for the environment, thermal break windows help improve the energy efficiency<\/strong> of the buildings and drastically reduce consumption.<\/p>\n

      The particular system of T-plates used for the production of thermal break windows is combined with the use of recyclable materials<\/strong> such as wood, copper, bronze, stainless steel and glass<\/strong>.
      \nIn this way, in addition to the reduction of CO2 emissions due to the efficiency of the thermal break, doors and windows reach an excellent level of sustainability thanks to the replicability of new life cycles.
      \nWe must not underestimate the importance of selecting excellent materials. Consider the choice of wood for example. It must be chosen based on its technical characteristics and the right cut. Careful seasoning makes it resistant to time and weather, ensuring the efficiency of the window. The same applies to the use of hi-tech materials<\/strong>, such as precious metals, capable of maximizing product performance.<\/p>\n

      The needs grow with the increase in the width of the windows and the required safety classes. So, for some processes the use of highly technological materials such as carbon fiber or ballistic steel<\/strong> is crucial. Both are highly performing from a thermal and acoustic point of view.<\/p>\n

      Particularly intense climatic and atmospheric conditions, with extremely low temperatures, strong winds or rains, require high resistance, which puts the technical skills of designers, builders and installers to the test.
      \nWith results as excellent as in the Capoferri workshops and on the facades of the buildings on which our windows and doors are installed, their technological perfection deserves the highest-level of UNI certifications and, in some cases, exceeds the maximum classes of those norms.<\/p>\n

      Custom thermal break windows<\/h2>\n

      Like any fixture, custom thermal break<\/strong>\u00a0windows<\/strong> are made based on aesthetic, climatic, safety and mechanical needs.<\/p>\n

      It is precisely the custom creations that distinguish high-level windows and their efficiency.<\/p>\n

      Think of a recently built modern building on the one hand and a historic building that we want to make compliant to the energy efficiency standards through restoration work on the other.<\/p>\n

      In both cases, to achieve the best result, we must focus on the need for custom thermal break windows, in which technology and manual work together provide great results. Attention to detail and technical skills give life to a window with a unique style and incomparable performance, always aligned with the structural needs and the dimensions required<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      Take Ferrofinestra<\/strong> as an example. Its strong reference to the steel windows that used to be made between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century by craftsmen requires processing that is anything but \u201cin series\u201d. Hinges and hardware are designed and produced in stainless steel or bronze, only after careful technical evaluations that allow us to build custom elements perfectly dimensioned for the width and weight of the door.<\/p>\n

      While the Ferrofinestra perfectly fits the facades of industrial buildings, on private residences, villas, hotels and museums, we seek more lightness. The facade is covered with large glazed surfaces that create a continuous and homogeneous whole. In these cases, the custom thermal break window takes on the bright and uninterrupted appearance of Plath\u00e8a<\/strong>. The technology, hidden in a very thin structure, is the fulcrum of living comfort thanks to effective thermal and acoustic insulation.<\/p>\n

      When environmental requirements are very strict and the project becomes even more challenging, advanced technologies come into play and are perfectly integrated into the harmony of the facade. Thus large windows can coexist with very low temperatures in welcoming and luxurious mountain villas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
