What is a warm frame in windows?

Warm frame in windows, often also called "warm edge" or "warm profile," refers to a special design solution in windows to minimize heat loss and increase the energy efficiency of the window. A warm frame is usually associated with thermally insulated windows.

The main features of the warm frame are:

1. Thermal insulation: the warm frame is made of materials with a low thermal conductivity coefficient, which helps reduce heat flow at the boundary between the interior and exterior of the building. This minimizes thermal bridging and heat loss through the window.

2. Condensation reduction: Thanks to good thermal insulation, the warm frame reduces the likelihood of condensation on the surface of the frame, which helps keep the window in better condition and prevents mold.

3. Increased energy efficiency: The warm frame contributes to the energy efficiency of the window, which means lower costs for heating or cooling the building, as well as lower energy consumption.

Warm frames can be made from a variety of materials, such as plastic with thermal insulation filling, wood, aluminum with a thermal break, or combinations of different materials. The choice of material can affect the thermal insulation properties and durability of the frame.

At Feneste, we offer frames in white, light gray, gray, light brown, dark, brown and black.
