Window types according to the material and glazing that are regularly used in the modern construction in Bulgaria

Very often during the cold months it turns out that no matter how hard you try to heat the rooms at home, they are never as warm as you would like. Have you ever wondered what is the reason behind it? The answer probably lies in the fact that the windows are not well sealed.

When thinking about the above, another logical question follows - what are the most commonly used window and glazing types in our country and which of them are of the highest quality and efficiency? The answer - in the following lines, presented by the Atlantis Estates team.

What does the term "chamber" means when we talk about glazing?

In the context of the construction and installation of windows, "chamber" is the air gap formed between the two panes of the glazing.

Explained as simple as possible: if the glazing has two panes with empty space between them - it is single-chamber. In the presence of three panes, respectively, with two buffer spaces, we are talking about double-glazed windows, and so on.

The logic when choosing glazing is quite simple - the more cameras there are, the quieter and warmer it will be in the building and its individual spaces.

Double glazing - the most popular option today

The modern market offers a huge selection of uPVC windows with double glazing. Depending on the purpose, these windows can be conventional, with increased energy-saving, soundproofing and sun protective properties, multifunctional, tinted, armoured and even self-cleaning glazing.

The advantages of the two-chamber systems are many and this makes them the most popular glazing option. They can be used in any room and are suitable for any climate. The way they are designed keeps the heat and prevents the incoming of cold air into the room.

uPVC windows with double glazing are distinguished by the following qualities:

• Excellent soundproofing - reduction of the noise coming from outside by up to 31 dB;
• High thermal insulation performance;
• Environmental friendliness - modern systems are manufactured by using modern technologies for the production of products safe for the human health.

Triple glazing - next generation efficiency

The main advantages of the so-called triple glazing are the improved soundproof and thermal insulation of a new generation. As for the use of specialized insulating glass, they repeatedly improve the performance of the triple glazing on these indicators.

An additional advantage, which is essential for homes located on the lower floors, is the high impact resistance of this type of windows. They have the potential to ensure improved protection against all types of accidents and potential risks – from the children's ballgame, to raids by thieves or other ill-intentioned visitors.

What are the five-chamber windows and its advantages?

The installation of five-chamber windows guarantees an absolute silence, calm and the most reliable protection against damp and / or cold. Moreover, it guarantees them in the long run and with almost zero efforts on the user’s side. Usually the five-chamber window is a choice for residential or business buildings, located on busier places and, accordingly, subject to increased requirements for soundproof.

The service life of the five-chamber window is one of its most impressive qualities. With proper maintenance, good hygiene and compliance with all good practices by the builder, its life can reach up to and even over 50 years. This makes it an intelligent investment by the contractor, which has the potential to repeatedly improve the quality of life of the future owners.

Installing five-chamber  uPVC windows in a multi-family residential building or a house will minimize the need for additional heating by increasing the energy efficiency of the entire building. The result? Less harmful emissions, significantly lower heating bills, more stable temperatures and more responsible consumption, beneficial for both the household and the environment.

Quality and security with Atlantis Bulgaria

Modern building and high quality constructions allow the manufacture and installation of windows of all parameters. The choice of type of glazing depends on many factors: the type and location of the building, the microclimate in the area, the levels of noise pollution and the overall planning and budgeting of the project.

The team of Atlantis Bulgaria Holding always uses the highest quality, durable and suitable for the project glazing, by trying to ensure the perfect balance between price and quality.

Our specialists do not rely on unified solutions and consider each new building as a separate organism: with its own specifics, strengths and weaknesses, needs and patterns. Therefore, each of our projects is implemented with a specific type of windows and glazing, which are the most meaningful solution in the context of the project.
