Thermal insulation

The thermal insulation of a building can lead to significant energy savings for heating in winter and for cooling in summer. A well-insulated building will also be a well sound proof building, thus contributing in improving the general welfare. It’s fundamental that windows and doors, being important elements of the walls of buildings, ensure high resistance to weather. Fas windows have been tested by specialized laboratories, obtaining good results in tests for air permeability, water and wind resistance.
 

Security

FAS window are manufactured to ensure maximum safety. The anti-theft Ral-AHS system (standard on windows thickness 92, but available also for the thicknesses of 68 and 80 mm), composed by a self-regulating mushroom door latch jointed to the anti-theft fight, opposes considerable resistance to the disruption made with rudimentary tools. A further safety is the supply of stratified glasses on doors and windows.

Soundproofing

Noise pollution found in most towns shows that sound levels to which we are subjected daily far exceed the threshold of tolerance laid down by ‘World Health Organization, estimated at 65 dB (the average found in Italian cities is 80 db). The consequence of such exposure on our health varies from hearing loss, to
sleep disorders and more complex disease that can affect our nervous and cardiovascular systems. To defend against noise it is necessary to create effective barriers between the home or work environments and sources of noise. Thanks to sound-absorbing property of its windows, Fas restores peace in homes and in the work place.

Conclusions

It is obvious that using windows and glasses with specific thermal sound absorbing properties ensure different levels of comfort inside homes or workplaces. FAS windows has subjected its products to several laboratory tests to check: air permeability, water permeability, wind resistance, sound insulation. The excellent performance results obtained, certified by the notified laboratory, confirm FAS high quality standards.
