Energy Efficiency in Modern Windows: Triple-Glazed Glass, LOW-E Glass, and “Warm-Edge” Spacer

In today’s world, having an energy-efficient home is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Rising energy bills, thermal comfort, and environmental protection make window selection one of the most important decisions for any homeowner or building owner. At VEFASISTEM, the largest premium PVC and aluminum windows and doors manufacturer in Moldova, we provide innovative, high-quality solutions that combine superior thermal performance, modern design, and long-term durability.

Our products are based on state-of-the-art technologies, including triple-glazed glass, LOW-E glass, and warm-edge spacers, all designed to maximize the energy efficiency of your home and ensure optimal interior comfort.

1. Triple-Glazed Glass – 3-pane System with 2 Chambers for Maximum Insulation

Triple-glazing, also known as a 3-pane insulated glass unit, represents the natural evolution from traditional double-glazed windows. This system includes three layers of glass separated by two internal chambers, usually filled with inert gas such as argon, which reduces thermal transfer between the interior and exterior.

How triple-glazing improves energy efficiency:

  • Excellent thermal insulation: Significantly reduces heat loss, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature even during the coldest winter days.
  • Lower energy costs: By reducing heating demand, triple-glazing leads to noticeably lower energy bills.
  • Superior sound insulation: Minimizes outside noise, creating a calmer and more relaxing indoor environment.
  • Strength and durability: Increased resistance to mechanical impact and harsh weather conditions due to its robust structure.

At VEFASISTEM, triple-glazing is available in various thicknesses and glass configurations to suit the needs of both residential and commercial buildings.

2. LOW-E Glass – Modern Technology for Comfort and Energy Savings

LOW-E (Low Emissivity) glass features an ultra-thin, invisible metal oxide coating applied to its surface. This coating reflects heat back into the home while allowing natural daylight to enter.

Advantages of LOW-E glass:

  • Minimizes heat loss: Keeps indoor heat inside, ensuring constant thermal comfort.
  • Solar protection: Blocks excess infrared radiation in summer, helping maintain a cool indoor temperature.
  • Optimal natural light: The coating does not affect transparency, allowing natural light to freely illuminate interior spaces.
  • Long-term savings: By conserving heat in winter and reducing overheating in summer, it lowers energy consumption and contributes to environmental protection.

LOW-E coated windows are suitable for all building types and can be paired with triple-glazing to achieve the highest energy-efficiency standards.

3. “Warm-Edge” Spacer – Preventing Condensation and Heat Loss

A key component in window energy performance is the spacer placed between the glass panes, known as the warm-edge spacer. Unlike traditional aluminum spacers, which conduct heat and lead to condensation, warm-edge spacers are made from thermoplastic materials with low thermal conductivity.

Benefits of warm-edge technology:

  • Prevents condensation at the edges of the glass, maintaining a clean and healthy surface.
  • Reduces heat loss around the perimeter of the window, increasing overall thermal performance.
  • Enhanced durability: resistant to deformation and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the window.
  • Improved comfort: eliminates the cold zone near the window surface by maintaining uniform temperature.

The combination of warm-edge spacers, triple-glazing, and LOW-E glass creates a complete high-efficiency window system delivering comfort, reliability, and long-term protection.
