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.
