Warm edge
The so-called "warm edge" designates the thermally seperated edge seal of insulating glazing. The conventional edge seal is made of heat diverting aluminum whereas the thermal seperated "warm edge" is made from plastic or stainless steel, and therefore improves the u-value of the insulating glazing (Ug) about 0.1 W/m²K. Based on a test object of a 1-sash-window with the size of 1230 x 1480 mm, the overall construction of the window (Uw) is improved by 0.1 W/m²K.

Wettability of glass surfaces
The Wettability can be influenced by roller marks, labels, fingerprints, paper grain, vacuum suction cups, sealant residues, silicone compounds, smoothening material, lubricants and various environmental influences. Visual differences through moistened glass surfaces due to condensation, rain or cleaning water are apparent.

Window bar
The window bar is part of the window sash and is the holding part of the glass pane. In the case of glass damage, the window bar can be easily removed to replace the glass.
Index
Window butyl tape
A window butyl tape is a self-adhesive butyl rubber mass and has a high adhesive strength. The tape is backed with a one-sided synthetic fleece and equipped with a self-adhesive mounting strip.
Index
Window flex-foil inside
Window flex-foil inside consists of a fabric-reinforced, tear-resistant aluminum foil and is laminated with a nonwoven fabric made of PVC. The movement loop of the foil is detachably mounted and according to DIN 4108-7 and RAL Quality Assurance Association for windows and doors is conform to the planning and building recommendations for the inner sealing without further assembly effort.
Index
Window Foam
Window foam or 1K gun foam is used for attaching the window frame. It may also be used for filling and sealing of cavities and joints and also for insulation and bonding.
Index
Window foil on the inside
The interior window foil is made of a fabric-reinforced and tear-resistant aluminum foil and is used for safe and easy fixing on the wall – for example equipped with a butyl sealing tape and on the window frame equipped self-adhesive.
Index
Window frame
A window frame is understood to be a frame that is firmly tied to the masonry and to which one or more movably window sashes are attached.
Index
Window frame
The casement frame (referred to as the window frame) is located on the outer part of the window. The inside located window sash carries the window pane in it. A fixed glazing where the glass pane is inside the window frame can not be opened.
Index
Window frame doubling
So-called window frame duplication or enlarging of one or more timber frames is carried out due to design, construction or for structural reasons. There is either the possibility to increase the width of the frame timber or to put another piece of wood to the window frame, which is called the wooden material board or frame extension.
Index
Window shutter
Window shutters are used as a window securing element, as weather proofing, sight protection but also as sound proof. They are typically designed and available in wood, PVC and aluminum.
Depending on the location on the house and the associated climatic conditions the window shutters are exposed to particular stresses. Therefore wood shutters need to be treated with a special glaze.
Index
Window sill
Window sills can be installed both, outside and inside. Exterior window sills can be brick-built and covered with a metal plate such as aluminum, zinc or lead. The face of the window sill is always inclined outward to ensure an outflow of rain water. Window sills in the interior are often used as a cover for the niche of the heater. The material used should be chosen so that it is dimensionally stable against heat, if placed immediately in the vicinity of the heater (e.g. werzalit or marble).
Index
Window sill connection profile
The window sill connection profile is attached at the bottom of the window and ensures the inclusion of the window sill in the inner or outer area of the room. The window sills in the interior are usually made of wood, werzalit or marble and the exterior is mostly made of stone or aluminum. The connection profile is narrower compared to the window frame thus there is the possibility to push the inner and outer window sill underneath. The profiles generally have a height of 30-50 mm.
