How to choose the right fixtures for an eco-sustainable home

Choosing quality fixtures means reducing or eliminating heat loss from the inside to the outside and maximizing the entry of light.

Choosing a window is not just a matter of taste. On the market there are various types, with different materials and characteristics but during the purchase another aspect must also be taken into account: a good window can offer great advantages on the source of sustainability. In fact, avoiding heat loss, it reduces the need for heating.





Choosing quality fixtures means reducing or eliminating heat loss from the inside to the outside and maximizing the entry of light. In this way, the use of electricity and heating is minimized.

The benefits are twofold: both the environment and the wallet benefit. On the one hand, a lower need to heat and light the rooms of our home also translates into a reduced production of polluting emissions, on the other hand this also allows savings.

There are many fixtures available on the market today, characterized by different finishes, colors and properties. Deceuninck offers good value for money, which offers an innovative material the ThermoFibra.

It is characterized by extruded profiles with a special glass fiber inside. This guarantees better thermal and acoustic insulation, far exceeding the performance of classic windows with metal reinforcements.

Passive house performance

The performances are top of the range with a thermal value equal to Uf 0,88 W / m2k. In other words, with the right glass, Deceuninck's ThermoFibra can achieve Passive House performance.

A passive house, to date, is the housing model that guarantees the greatest energy savings. The reason is easily stated and is well explained by its name: a passive house is defined as a house or, more generally, a building that satisfies most of its energy needs while maximizing efficiency. It is defined as such because the sum of the passive heat contributions of solar radiation transmitted by the windows and the heat generated inside the building by household appliances and by the occupants themselves are almost sufficient to compensate for the losses of the envelope during the colder season.


In addition, for both heating and cooling, it uses passive devices such as thermal windows, which increase the brightness and heat produced by the sun's rays and decrease heat losses through the frame structure. Just like the solutions offered by Deceuninck.


These windows are also 10% lighter than classic PVC windows due to the absence of the steel profile inside.

ThermoFibra in fact combines new and traditional material, innovation and experience. Among the various solutions offered, the Elegant ThermoFibra windows stand out, which exceed the most stringent standards for low-energy houses. The merit is also due to the total elimination of the steel reinforcement inside the profiles, which creates a thermal bridge. It is a system with a 3-gasket frame with a depth of 76 mm and a 7-chamber door with a depth of 86 mm, thermal reinforcements for the frame and a door with integrated continuous glass fiber.

In terms of energy performance, the door guarantees thermal insulation equal to Uf = 0,88 W / m2.K

In addition, such fixtures also guarantee the maximum brightness with a minimal design that leaves more space for glass and consequently for natural light.


100% recyclable fixtures

Deceuninck windows are 100% recyclable. In fact, at the end of their life, the materials they are made of can be completely recycled. Deceuninck itself can manage its recycling and reuse within its latest generation plants.
