Wictec 50 HI (Passive house quality)

 

A passive house does not require an active heating system and therefore relies heavily on the thermal insulation and air-tightness of the façade. Based on the standard series, WICTEC 50 can be used for aluminium/glass façades suitable for passive houses at minimal additional cost. The thermal insulation is improved to passive-house quality with a Uf-value of 0.74 W/m²K when using triple glazing and an easy-to-install thermal break profile, and as a result fulfils the demanding thermal insulation requirements for this type of building. This sytem can be used for large areas of curtain wall and / or window wall to give great light transmission into the home whilst providing excellent thermal properties.
