How to Protect Your Home from Overheating

In regions with high temperatures, PVC windows should not only ensure comfort but also effectively protect against overheating. Key solutions include:

• Solar‑control double‑glazed units with low‑emissivity (i‑glass) or reflective coating can reflect up to 60 % of solar energy, reducing indoor heat gain.
• Multifunctional glass combines thermal insulation in winter with solar protection in summer — ideal for year‑round comfort.
• Ventilation flaps with micro‑ventilation allow constant fresh air flow without opening sashes, minimising hot air intake.
• External roller blinds and awnings provide additional shade and reduce glass surface heating.

Installation tips:

• Orient windows considering sun exposure (south‑ and west‑facing sides need enhanced protection).
• Use high‑temperature‑resistant seals.
• Include adjustable blinds or curtains with reflective linings.

Well‑chosen PVC windows reduce air‑conditioning needs and create a comfortable indoor climate even in extreme heat.
