Passive Ultra+ Windows and Doors

​

SW14 Aluclad Passive windows represent a unique Nordic design of high energy efficient windows. They are certified as Passive House Components by the Passive House Institute in Germany.

Passive Ultra+ Windows and DoorsWindow profiles are protected by International Registration of Industrial Designs no DM/083922.

 

SW14 Aluclad Passive Windows have:

 

• Specific design suitable for Nordic countries. Its three gaskets ensure that profile system is highly insulated and condensation risks between frame and casement are minimized

• 50 mm triple glazing with 2 low-E coatings (Planitherm Ultra N or Planitherm ONE) and  warm edge spacer (SGG Swisspacer Ultimate) gives excellent insulation and comfort

• Sun protection coatings can be used if needed (e.g. SKN174)

• Aluminum profile system on exterior side improves the endurance of wooden window 

• Tempered dual or triple glazing greatly reduces the possibility of this source of breach

• Espagnolette with locking points around the casement secures the window while closed

 

As a rule the standard size window 1.23 m x 1.48 m must achieve Uw = 0.80 W/m²K using  of glazing Ug = 0.70 W/m²K.

Considering the climate in many parts of the US, it is very important to use glazing with better insulation than 0.70W/m²K. Chart below illustrates SW14 Aluclad Passive Window's thermal transmittance values with different glazing systems:
