© VELFAC LTD | VELFAC catalogue 2015, onwards Thermal properties test + Fire windows Test thermal properties test Thermal properties. The insulation capacity of a window is calculated using EN ISO 10077-2 and FEM Therm 5.2. Both are computer generated analyses which simulate a variety of test conditions and predict window performance within a range of thermal parameters. The VELFAC 200 System achieves the results in the table below: double-glazed window - 4-16-4 with 2 low-e and argon double-glazed window - 4-16-4 with 1 low-e and argon* double-glazed window - 4-16-4 with 2 low-e and argon...

This test measures a window’s capacity to reduce the levels of unwanted noise e.g. from heavy traffic. The noise level within most rooms of a family house should not exceed 30dB. If for example loud traffic noise amounts to 65-70dB, the building envelope must be able to reduce the noise level by 35-40dB. VELFAC offers a variety of noise reduction solutions. Glazed units can be fitted with different types and thicknesses of glass. Please find examples of our glazing...
