Is your building draughty? Want to restore your PVCu windows and doors to their former glory? Get winter ready with renovation PVC window seals and improve your building's energy efficiency.
Air leakage caused by gaps around windows and doors can be a real problem—especially during the winter months. A high air leakage rating means chilly spaces, mould growth, and bigger energy bills.
What is an Air Leakage Rate?
Also known as an air infiltration rate or air leakage index, an air leakage rate is the amount of air movement around an opening, such as a window, door, or skylight. It indicates the level of outside air seeping into a building through a specific area under a given pressure difference.
An air leakage rating is used to assess energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and a building's overall performance. A low air leakage rate indicates an airtight, well-sealed building envelope, while a high rate suggests ineffective sealing around your building’s openings and the potential need for new PVC window seals to seal the gaps.
Reducing Air Leakage with PVC Window Seals
Sealing any gaps with renovation PVC window seals will reduce air leakage and improve your building's energy efficiency. These durable silicone seals offer an efficient and cost-effective way to restore your PVCu windows and doors without replacing the entire unit. Although no seal can completely stop air infiltration into a building, fitting renovation seals will drastically reduce air leakage and prevent thermal transfer.
What is Thermal Transfer?
Thermal transfer involves the movement of thermal energy from an area with a higher temperature to a lower-temperature area. Silicone renovation PVC window seals will help combat heat transfer from outside or between different air-conditioned rooms during warmer months. This helps to make your space more energy efficient by providing another layer of thermal insulation, decreasing energy wastage, and cutting energy bills. Minimizing temperature fluctuations and keeping temperatures stable will make your home or workplace more comfortable and energy efficient.
