Running a hotel involves high costs related to bills and hiring employees. One of the main expenses of a hotel budget is energy bills. Therefore, the entire hotel should be adapted to be energy-efficient. One sure solution is energy-saving windows. Hotel windows must have certain characteristics that will affect daily use. We will therefore take a look at the parameters of windows that can be installed in a hotel.
Energy efficiency
The window frames should be energy-efficient, i.e. they should have high thermal insulation. The technology used will minimise the amount of energy that passes through the windows. In winter, the heat will not escape from heated rooms, which will result in lower heating bills. Good insulation will also be useful in summer and will protect against the influx of hot air.
Glass in energy-saving windows
The most important element of energy-saving windows is the glass. Glass is a very good insulator and using high-quality glass will bring the greatest savings in terms of energy loss. Packages of 2 or 3 panes are often used, and noble gases are placed in the spaces between the panes. With the right choice of glass, you can save up to 40% of energy.
When planning to buy windows for a hotel, you should pay attention to the thermal transmittance coefficient. This refers to the coefficient of the entire construction, not just the glass or window frames. The interaction of all components of the window construction ensures maximum thermal protection. The Uw value indicates the amount of energy that passes through a window with a specific surface area at a temperature difference of 1K in a specific time unit. The lower the value, the less thermal energy is lost through the window.
Hotels are often located on busy streets in city centres. Urban noise can disturb our guests, which is why soundproof windows are a good solution. Our hotel will then become a pleasant oasis and a rest for the ears after a tiring and noisy day of sightseeing. The attenuation of outside noise is determined by the Rw index, which is expressed in decibels. The higher the index, the less noise will penetrate the room. Sound insulation is ensured by appropriate technological solutions. One of the elements is soundproof glass, which is thicker than standard glass. The glass pane can be up to 10 mm thick. The space between the panes is filled with noble gases. The use of special coatings and damping films is also a good solution.
The window frames must protect the hotel from the weather, i.e. rain, snow and wind. Choosing high-quality windows will help you avoid problems related to repairing or replacing the frames. We will also avoid complaints from customers about leaky windows. The highest quality windows are not only characterised by good parameters, but also by professional installation. Many years of experience of specialists means top-quality products and installation.
