Why Econstrukt Windows and Doors?
-
Econstrukt is a partner of ThermaDura Ltd so you can be assured that you are backed by reknown New Zealand window manufacturer.
-
In case windows or doors are damaged during transport or missing or additional units are needed, ThermaDura will reproduce the windows urgently in New Zealand. This can avoid costly downtime for your project.
-
At Econstrukt you talk with specialists who manufacture windows in New Zealand and have manufactured window in Germany. You will get the experience from both sides of the world.
-
At Econstrukt the architect, client, builder and manufacturer are supplied with individual CAD drawings of each individual window and door to ensure everyone is on the same page with the design and sizes.
-
At Econstrukt you have access to TwinGo and TwinGo XL honeyomb blinds at a 30% discount. The thermal blinds are proudly manufactured in Mosgiel, New Zealand.
-
At Econstrukt you have access to other building products, like Siberian Larch cladding and Roma externa venetian blinds, shutters and fabric screens.
-
Econstrukt offers a on site glass robot option (extra charge) for unloading the windows on site and has a fully equipped service van with spare parts and tools on the road.
Glass Options
30% to 40% of a home's warmth is lost through the windows. This explains the demand for quality thermally insulated windows. Glass plays a major part in the thermal efficiency. Double and triple glazing significantly reduces heat loss and provides your home and conservatory with a more constant temperature which is important for a healthy living environment. The main benefits of double- and triple glazing are:
• Warmer in winter
• Cooler in summer
• Reduces condensation
• Reduces energy usage
• Reduces noise
DOUBLE GLAZING
Double glazing is a huge improvement to single glazing. Double glazing works by trapping air between the two panes of glass. This creates an insulating barrier that reduces the heat being lost and it also improves the soundproofing of your conservatory, windows and doors.
TRIPLE GLAZING
To further increase the thermal efficiency and reduce the heat loss through the glass to the absolute minimum, triple glazing can be specified for our products. Triple glazing has also superior soundproofing characteristics.
LOW E COATINGS
Low-emissivity (low-E) coatings are microscopically thin metal layers that are deposited on a glass surface to help keep heat on the same side of the glass from which it originated. We distinguisch between a soft-coat Low E coating and a hard-coat Low E coating. The soft coat Low E is far more efficient (U-value 1.1) and it results in a clearer appearance to the glass.
THERMAL SPACERS: THE “WARM EDGE”
Spacers plays a vital role in driving down your heating bills. Conventional spacers are made of Aluminium but cause the edge of the glazing panel to cool rapidly when outside temperatures drop. This results in the loss of valuable energy.
Using thermal spacers in the double or triple glazing helps to significantly reduce heat loss at the glass edge, while the periphery of the window on the room side remains warmer, lending the glass a "warm edge“.
ARGON GAS
Heating costs can be saved by using noble gasses in the cavity between the glass panes. Argon has a lower thermal conductivity than air and reduces the heat loss of a double- or triple glazed unit even further.
