WINDOW COMPOSITION Deceuninck profiles are designed to be versatile, combining the many sash profiles, frame profiles and mullions to create the right product for you. There are many available glass options to select from as well as ancillary profiles that give your doors and windows a personally designed outcome. Glass STEEL REINFORCEMENT Specially designed galvanized steel reinforcement profiles are available in various thickness options. This enables us to increase wind deflection where necessary and best suit your local conditions. Reinforcement Metal Sheet Protective Folio TPE GASKET Deceuninck has developed an innovative and recyclable Gasket TPE gasket which is factory-mounted on our profiles to provide the best available sealing system that minimizes air infiltration. PVC Profile GLASS Being a large part of your building envelope, glass is an important element in your home. Effective insulation from sound and heat is largely dependent on good glass choices. Double glazed units with a minimum gap of 16mm is the ideal solution and is easily accommodated by all Deceuninck systems. ACCESSORIES Deceuninck have an excellent range of accessories such as handles and hardware to provide easy operability and security to all opening types and sizes. PROTECTIVE FOLIO All Deceuninck upvc profiles are supplied with a factory fitted protective film to minimize any scratching or blemishes during transit or assembly. IMPORTANT: THE PROTECTIVE FOIL SHOULD BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY AFTER ASSEMBLY 5

ATTENTION ELEMENTS WATER DRAINAGE CHANNELS During rainfall, water is drained from the window through water drainage channels. These channels are slot-shaped and a minimum width of 30mm. In order to reduce wind pressure and facilitate effective water drainage, specially designed drainage caps should be installed. Drainage slots should be above the level of any plaster or masonry structures to ensure disbursement away from the building envelope. Drainage slots should be periodically checked for any blockages to prevent internal ingress. AIR VENTILATION HOLES Proper use of specified air holes is imperative towards a windows high performance. Water drainage is greatly assisted by properly located air holes, further protecting the door or window against flooding. Example: Much like holding water within a drinking straw by blocking the top opening, effective drainage acts in the same way. In regions with extreme temperature differences, air holes are used to manage the expulsion of any residual heat within the profiles. IMPORTANT: Check the presence of water drainage channels and air holes on the PVC profiles and contact your dealer if they are not present. 6

HINGED SYSTEM The Deceuninck Hinged System is the commonly used name for doors and windows that open by way of a connecting hinge. Designed to be used as both inward and outward opening products, this systems is the most popular amongst our types. Double opening systems are particularly sought after for its highly-efficient ventilation capabilities. In Deceuninck Product Group the following hinged options are available: Examples of the Hinged Systems 7

SLIDING SYSTEM FEATURES OF THE SYSTEM The Deceuninck Sliding System utilizes sashes that are opened or closed by sliding horizontally on an integrated railing system incorporated into the frame. The Sliding System is gaining in popularity due to its design that minimizes the need for swing space normally required by a hinged system. The Deceuninck Product Group offers the following Sliding systems: Sliding System HS76 Sliding System: An exciting lift and slide system that offers unsurpassed sash sizes and exceptional sealing performance. Parallel sliding or bi fold door applications SLIDING 8

STORBOX ROLLER SHUTTERS Storbox Roller Shutters are ideal for rooms where lighting control is important and excess sunlight needs filtering. The effective use of roller shutters offer significant improvements to the home s thermal and acoustic performance. Operation of the shutters can be assisted by a manual pulley motorized systems. Being a highly versatile system, the dimensions of the box and lamination options are changeable to suit your application. 9

LOUVRE SHUTTERS Shutter systems can make a real difference to your home s appearance as well as help control the desired level of sunlight. Our shutters have integrated sills that create an effective closure and maintain their appearance and performance for years to come. Deceuninck Louvre Shutters can be installed in two ways: Mounting the louvre sashes directly to the window frame. Attaching the louvre sashes onto the wall Inner sashes can also be included within the main sash. These can be opened for ventilation purposes while the main sash is kept closed. The number and intervals between louvres are variable and can be fine tuned to best suit your needs relating to sunlight and aesthetics. In the panel applications the shutter sash is completely closed. Deceuninck offer a range of laminate colour options to match your home s colour palate. 10

FLY SCREEN Deceuninck fly screen options are adaptable to suit all our styles and systems. Being a complete system, they can be modified according to the opening type of all windows and doors within our range. Our sliding fly screen is best used with our sliding sash systems and our inward opening fly screen is perfectly suited to our hinged systems. 11

ENERGY SAVING THERMAL INSULATION

ENERGY SAVING THERMAL INSULATION IDEAL SOLUTION FOR THERMAL INSULATION: PVC WINDOWS The need to improve energy efficiency Thermal insulation of a window is expressed and reduce comsumption is a sheer by the value U (head transfer coefficien). necessity. Population increases across the The value U denotes the capability to transfer energy. globe has exponentially increased our Low U values signify lower thermal thirst for energy and created irreparable conductivity; accordingly they indicate that resource depletion. the related material is a better insulator. Energy costs are rapidly rising and in our country, 32 % of all energy consumption takes place in the home. Heating and cooling applications are the largest culprits in this unhealthy scenario, pushing economies and living standards to the limits. It has now become crystal clear that real savings in usage and consumption 32 % Chimney are achievable by making strong improvements to household thermal insulation. 16 % Roof A staggering 28% of all heat loss in homes occurs through inefficient window insulation. Windows are no longer purely aesthetic, they are a significant vehicle towards stemming energy consumption, improving household budgets and on a larger scale, reducing greenhouse emissions. 20 % Window and Frame 8 % Ventilation 18 % Walls 6 % Basement Lower U Value Better THERMAL INSULATION is provided by window. 31

ENERGY SAVING THERMAL INSULATION Heat Transfer Coefficients of all our systems are tested and certificated by IFT-Rosenheim. For example U value of the Zendow System is 1.4 W/m2 K. EFFECTS OF GLASS ON THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY Features and thickness of the glass is an important factor in thermal insulation. Double pane windows are 50 % more efficient than the single pane windows in thermal insulation. In double pane windows; increasing the space between panes up to 16 mm or filling in the space with argon gas instead of air increase the thermal insulation. Heat conductivity coefficients of different windows with double or single panes are shown in Table 1. Uw = Window Heat Conductivity Coefficient (W2/mK) Uf = Profile Heat Conductivity Coefficient (W2/mK) Ug = Glass Heat Conductivity Coefficient (W2/mK) Ig = Visible glass perimeter (m) g = Spacer coefficient (W/mK) Ag = Glass area (m2) Af = Profile area (m2) 32

CONDENSATION

CONDENSATION PVC window profiles used with TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer) gaskets, provides excellent acoustic and thermal insulation to indoor areas. This scenario of highly efficient insulation can prevent the release of humidity (moisture from cooking, hot water etc) when the outside temperatures are colder.. Periodic ventilation will prevent this from occurring. What is condensation? Air always contains an amount of water vapour. How much water vapour being held is dependent on air temperature. Condensation occurs when high levels of water vapour are faced with cool temperatures, causing the air to release the water vapour in the form of condensation. Picture: Perspiration Scheme 1. AS THE TEMPERATURE DECREASES THE MOISTURE AMOUNT CAN BE HELD BY AIR DECREASES The water vapour amounts can be held by air at defined temperatures are shown in Picture 2. For example 1 m² air; Holds 28 gram water vapour at 30 C, Holds 15 gram water vapour at 20 C, When the temperature decreases to 0 C the air con hold only 4 gram water vapour. And the excessive water vapour amount is discharged by CONDENSATION (perspiration). Figure 2: Psychometric Graph 35

CONDENSATION 2.WHEN THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE AIR INCREASES, CONDENSATION OCCURS AT CERTAIN TEMPERATURES In houses, the water vapour content of the air is continuously increased by daily activities. Generated moist amounts per hour is as follows: The resting human being (by breathing) Washing clothes Drying wet clothes by hanging Cleaning home by using water Cooking Taking a shower 30 gram / hour 300 gram / hour 500 gram / hour 1000 gram / hour 1000 gram / hour 2600 gram / hour NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF PERSPIRATION Condensation on glass surfaces restricts the visibility. It can negatively affect the health of the habitants; it can cause allergic reactions, headaches, insomnia or dizziness. Stains and unpleasant odour can be caused by mould by condensation. Mould formed on the walls 36

CONDENSATION Aesthetic problems, Condensation and mould formation can harm the building seriously (deterioration, corrosion etc.) Rusting of metal objects, electric and electronic devices. Spoilage of foods caused by moisture. Art works and cultural items are harmed in museums and libraries in that way. POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED AT PLACES WHERE PERSPIRATION OCCURS Determination of the elements which generate humidity Washed clothes should be dried at balconies or other open places instead of the in doors. true true false Most water vapour is generated in the kitchen. The aspirator should be operated during cooking. true false Places consuming more water such as baths and toilets should be well aerated. Doors of the rooms containing high humidity such as kitchens and bathrooms should be kept closed. Suitable wall paints that help room aeration should be preferred (for example plastic paints applied to ceilings can hinders aeration). Plastic flooring materials and ceramics used in the indoors affect aeration negatively. For heating purposes, air conditioners or central heating should be preferred over kerosene stoves. Water should not be heated on the stove or heater. Rooms should be ventilated after cleaning. Homes with aquariums should be particularly ventilated frequently. 37

VENTILATION

VENTILATION Ventilation is the freshening of the air within a room or building. In addition to removing humid air, ventilation also supplies fresh air into the home. EFFECTIVE VENTILATION : In order to minimize the energy loss during ventilation it should be done in the shortest possible time and in an effective way. VENTILATION METHODS (Double Opening) : 1. Ventilation by transom opening: The room is filled with fresh air within one hour. FRESH AIR MOIST AIR 2. Cross ventilation by opening windows on the opposite walls: The room is filled with fresh air within 5-10 minutes. It is the most efficient ventilation method. In winter it should be completed before the walls, furniture, ceiling and floor become cold (without much heat loss). FRESH AIR 39

VENTILATION 3.Ventilation Profile: Effective ventilation can be maintained by using the ventilation profile. Ventilation system can be opened or closed by help of a hand knob. Ventilation Profile Ventilation Profile 40

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE WINDOWS

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE WINDOWS Dirt is formed on the surfaces of the windows due to several external or internal conditions. In the rooms where ventilation is insufficient, the excessive humidity and heat from daily activities (cigarette smoke, cooking, ironing, shower, plant watering, aquarium etc.) can create dirt. Other parts of the room can also be soiled from air pollution, dust, coal consumption etc. PVC PROFILES : Protective foil should be promptly removed after completing the assembly. If some construction work (plastering, painting, etc.) continues after the assembly the protective foil should not be removed until those works are finished. Protective foil subjected to sunlight for a long time can stick on PVC profiles. Therefore the protective foil on the exterior surfaces of the building should be promptly removed. First Cleaning of the Window or Door : During the transport sand and other solid particles can be present on the surfaces therefore more attention should be paid to avoid harming the surfaces of the profiles. Impurities such as mortar or paint should be cleaned before drting. Cleaning should be made without scratching. Construction materials such as cement or lime splashed on the glass or accessories can react with the pvc materials so they should be cleaned without delay. The profiles should be cleaned by using a clean white cloth and liquid detergent not containing watered solid particles. Use of chemicals causing surface wears (acetone, methylene chloride, thinner etc.) in cleaning should be certainly avoided. Cleaning should not be made only by using a dry cloth, but also a moist cloth should be used for wiping the surfaces. PVC profiles should not be painted externally. If a colour other than white is preferred other colour alternatives can be chosen by getting into contact with Deceuninck Dealer. Externally painted profiles are not covered by guarantee of our firm. Cleaning of the windows coated with laminate (coloured/wood patterned) should be made by using a moist cloth. 43

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE WINDOWS ACCESSORIES Accessories are items such as hardware, mounted on the windows for facilitating opening or closing. In order to maintain the smooth and easy functioning of the accessories, the moving parts should be lubricated once a year. When cleaning the doors of humid rooms such as bath and toilet etc. pressurized water should not be used. Door handles and locking mechanisms can be affected by water. To ensure the long life of your accessories, any adjustments of the accessories should be made carefully. You can ask technical support from your dealer about the adjustments of the accessories. TPE GASKET TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer) gaskets are mounted on profiles for weather tightness of the windows. While opening and closing the window, the upper soft part of the gasket can be seen. That part of the gasket is specially designed to obtain good water and air isolations. TPE gasket does not leave traces on the window even after long uses. Cleaning of TPE gasket should be made with soapy water. GLASS Glass covers the largest area in the window, therefore it is the most important element in the isolation matters. CLEANING THE GLASS Glass should be wiped with a clean cloth. Knives and similar sharp objects should not be used for removing stains from the surface of the glass. If a special glass (glazed etc.) is employed, the relevant cleaning instructions should be applied. If the glass of the window is broken get into contact with your dealer. If necessary, it is possible to turn your single glass window to a double glazed window by mounting a spacer. (This modification can be possible after the necessary checks are made by the authorised dealer). 44
