Linea Design windows are designed to achieve the highest thermal insulation, even below Passiv Haus ‘U’ values of 0.8 W/m2K, if required. This provides customers with maximum energy efficiency and comfort, whilst reducing their carbon footprint The performance, proven by independent test houses, demonstrates high levels of achievement by Linea Design in every configuration of window opening.
Casa Clima
Casa Clima (Climate House) is a rapidly growing and internationally recognised construction standard and system of low energy certification for buildings. Therefore, Casa Clima is synonymous with energy-efficient building techniques, materials and components. There are three categories of Casa Clima:
Casa Clima “Gold” - (“Ultra-low energy”)
Energy consumption lower than 10 kWh/sq.m/year. for a “1 litre” house*. (PassivHaus is <15 kWh/sq.m/year)
(* 1 litre of heating oil for each square metre of room for space heating, per year)
Casa Clima “A” - (“Low energy”)
Energy consumption lower than 30 kWh/sq.m. for a “3 litre” house
Casa Clima “B” - (“Low energy”)
Energy consumption lower than 50 kWh/sq.m. for a “5 litre” house
In the construction of sustainable buildings which are compatible with climate criteria, low energy or ultra-low energy quality products which can demonstrate energy efficiency must be specified at the planning stage. Linea Design windows can achieve all of the above standards when required to do so.
Air permeability: class 4 (Achieved the highest classification)
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? With a Hurricane* Force wind speed of 75 mph: no air leakage, no draughts, thus, a warmer and quieter, more comfortable atmosphere and greater energy saving.
Water tightness: Method A - class E 1050 (Exceeded the highest classification)
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? No leakage when the glass is completely wet, despite a severe Hurricane* Force wind speed of 95 mph and horizontal rain.
Hurricane wind speeds according to The Beaufort Scale
Wind resistance: Class 5C (Achieved the highest classification)
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Extremely robust, minimal distortion even under high wind pressure, excellent resistance to gusts, no damage to fastenings, providing greater safety for occupants.
Energy saving: thermal transmittance ‘U’ values between 0.79 W/m2K and 1.2 W/m2K with high-performance glass
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Insulating double or triple glazed glass units, made with panes covered in a low emissivity coating (Low-E) combined with Argon gas between panes and warm-edge spacer bars, allow optimum performance values to be reached, guaranteeing enhanced comfort inside the building in all climatic conditions, reducing heat loss. Solar control glass also enables energy gains to be obtained from outside, as well as reducing heat excesses in Summer months.
Sound Reduction: insulation up to 49 dBR
When requested, the glass panes can be laminated, built with the insertion of a transparent, acoustic, PVB interlayer of soundproofing material which, allows noise insulation to be greatly enhanced, reaching outstanding levels of sound attenuation.
The evocative beauty and tactile sensuality
of natural materials can create an additional dimension to your decor choices. Thus Linea Design becomes a finishing element of interior design for those who leave nothing to chance and seek perfection in the details of their own home.
Imagine the harmony you can create in a room if you use the same finish for windows, doors and furniture.
Linea Design windows are born of nature but designed with interior decor in mind, to bring together technology and design in the home: your home.
Like our fingerprints, every LInea Design finish is unique.
A perfectly balanced tactile and sensory experience enhances each element, adding to the structural qualities, nobility and refinement of wood.
Words have never been more superfluous: touch the finish of a Linea Design window and you will understand in an instant what we are talking about.
