Achieving the optimal indoor climate is always an act of balance: you need the right amount of daylight without overheating and ensure the optimal level of insulation without compromising on ventilation. At VELFAC we offer specific solutions to help you achieve the correct indoor climate and create healthy and comfortable buildings.
VELFAC windows and doors are designed to deliver comfortable spaces in which to live or work, and our expert team can optimise window performance for every room by tailoring specification to reflect window position, room orientation and specific requirements. Selecting from over 10,000 glass types, we determine the ideal balance of window and glass to achieve the desired result, providing the holistic consultancy required to deliver an energy efficient and comfortable building.
The VELFAC composite glazing system is designed to meet – and exceed – current building regulations for energy performance, enhancing sustainability, off-setting other costs, and contributing to sustainability accreditations such as BREEAM.
We are experts in calculating the energy performance of our glazing system and can provide:
Recent studies have shown that on average, people spend 90% of their time indoors. As daylight has a positive influence on people’s health, productivity, ability to learn and overall well-being, the rooms in which we work and live must have the right amount of daylight.
With large windows an increasingly popular design choice, we can advise on ventilation strategies and solar gain control to ensure a comfortable indoor climate, especially in summer.
Windows and doors play a decisive role in any building's energy consumption. The VELFAC composite glazing system is designed to meet – and exceed – current building regulations for energy performance, reducing the need of artificial lights and heating and supporting your low-energy construction targets.
A key element of a good indoor climate is that each room in a building is sufficiently ventilated. Ventilation helps removing irritants such as pollen and dust, and can reduce problems such as condensation or mould caused by too much moisture in the atmosphere.
Windows and doors are crucial for effective background and purge ventilation, and they need to meet requirements dictated by Building Regulation Part F. VELFAC Windows offer multiple ways to control ventilation, achieve compliance and create the optimal indoor climate.
