The main feature of the passive house

window is that it contains no insulating

material, relying instead on the insula-

ting properties of air. The idea is good;

so good that its patent-protected.

The diagram shows how the passive

house window works. The flow of warm

air is redirected in the area around the

air chambers. This structure provides

the basis for the optimum U-value of

Uw = 0.75 W (m2K). This value, which is

calculated in accordance with the new

European norm EN ISO 10077 rather the

DIN/NORM standard previously used,

already takes into account the energy

loss around the edges of the window

pane.

The Result

Reason number one for the outstanding

insulating performance of the passi-

ve house window: wood thickness of

98mm. Reason number 2: three enclosed

air chambers are built into the frame to

provide heat insulation.

The SystemThe Idea


3/6

The slim-line design of the passive

house window makes it fully compa-

tible with the needs of todays architec-

ture. The casement is 70 mm wide,

and requires thanks to its completely

covered fittings just 15 to 20 mm of

clearance with respect to the inner face.

The frame is also kept to a slim 70 mm,

and can be clad on the inside to a width

of about 15 mm. The window has a cen-

tre seal and a cover seal on the inside of

the casement.

Just 70 mm

The Look

Each passive house window is fitted

with an aluminium window drip. The

thermally isolated structure of the drip

also has a profile cross-section desig-

ned to provide full heat insulation. The

schematic diagram shows the excellent

performance of this window drip. The

temperature fields remain absolutely

still and consistent throughout the pro-

file section.

Weather Protection

The passive house window is of solid

wood construction. The frame and case-

ment are made of locally-supplied solid

wood, and can also be made to order in

a combination of wood and aluminium.

The door is 98 mm thick. It is designed

to meet the exacting specifications of

property owners and architects alike. It

is available in a wide range of variants.

Our house doors naturally fulfil all the

same insulating specifications as our

passive house windows.
