Residents particularly experience cold due to drafts. Therefore, when upgrading homes, it is important to replace the existing doors with 54mm doors with HR++ glass and draught frames, the standard in new construction for more than 20 years. This significantly increases comfort and reduces energy consumption. In most cases, this can be done without modifying the existing window frame. In addition to improved insulation and reduced drafts, it provides better soundproofing and burglar resistance.
By 2050, our country must be nearly climate neutral. Insulating homes and buildings greatly reduces energy demand. Insulation is therefore one of the most important ways to achieve the goals of energy transition. Of the existing homes in the Netherlands, 3 out of 4 are not yet properly insulated. For new construction, the significantly stricter BENG (Nearly Energy Neutral Buildings) requirements will apply to building applications for all new buildings starting in 2021. Well-insulating doors and door-frame combinations play an important role in the insulation of the facade. They ensure a pleasant and comfortable home, lower energy bills and CO2 reduction.
Good insulation doors make the difference between house and home. They contribute to cozy and comfortable living. Positive effect: no energy waste and lower energy bills. What can you expect from insulating doors with the GND label? You can read that and more below.
