Energy – a focal issue of our times Not only expensive oil and gas, but also the energy saving regulations demand high insulating window solutions. And there is not only need for action in new buildings, but particularly in the renovation sector: Old windows are often the thinnest and most permeable areas in building shells, and with this, the energy guzzlers par excellence. Efficient energy-saving windows pay off on a long-term basis just based on the saved heating costs alone.
Coming to terms with the environment Catchword ‘greenhouse effect’: Did you know that every litre of heating oil pollutes the environment with 2.6 kg of CO2? In this respect every modern energy-saving window contributes actively to environmental protection.

PVC
THE MATERIAL THAT CREATES IDEAS Although it sometimes appears that way; All PVC windows are not created equal. In fact it’s more of a question of the primary products, the design construction and naturally the fabrication, that characterises an original EGE window. EGE exclusively uses top-quality profiles from Koemmerling. With this we provide you with what really counts these days: lead-free profiles, robust steel reinforcements, excellent insulating properties, burglary inhibition by means of ex-factory security standards and naturally a material, that braves all the elements with flying colours. And in so far as design is concerned, there are substantial options, so that all your wishes can be considered. Mediterranean feeling in a residence complex in Wetter an der Ruhr (Germany). Typical for this style is that the building has rather small window openings at the front.
And by the way; EGE only fabricates particularly environmentally friendly, lead-free stabilised profiles from Koemmerling; Europe's market leader for PVC window profiles.

ALUMINIUM
LIGHT AND STRONG The advantages of aluminium as a material are evident: durable, light, robust, value-retaining and completely recyclable. It’s no wonder that more and more architects are deciding in favour of this timeless material. The generous mullion/transom curtain-walling designs, which give the construction real charisma, surely stand out most. This does not just apply to the office sector, but also increasingly to residential projects. EGE aluminium windows provide the largest possible freedom of design by means of the possibility of being able to include all colours and surfaces within the scope of the architectural design.
Aluminium – architects favourite material.
This unusual residential complex is situated the centre of Haan (Germany); once an old bedspring factory, it has been converted to a lovingly refurbished oasis of calm. The people that live here rightly feel good.

WOOD
VALUABLE BY NATURE Whoever decides on wood just wants nature – pure nature. No other material provides more cosiness and warmth. The natural structure of the wood lends your windows and doors a real feeling of uniqueness. But what really matters? Quite simple: the workmanship. On the one hand, one needs the most modern equipment to treat wood windows so that their natural character is retained, but also so that all requirements for weather resistance and durability are fulfilled. On the other hand, EGE focuses on traditional craftsmanship. Every single component passes through the carpenter’s experienced hands and is individually fitted. Wood windows from EGE stand out by means of the love of the material itself and to small detail.
The character of a house is strongly influenced by the shape, material and colour of the windows. The EGE wooden windows used here round off the proportions ideally.

It’s the details that make EGE wooden windows so valuable: Profiles made of triple laminated wood for stress equalisation and colour-coordinated alu weather strip bars are just as standard as TITAN iP branded hardware with mushroom head cams, that considerably inhibit opening windows using force. In addition to the standard varnished product range, EGE wooden windows are also available in all RAL surface-finishes. If you require other types of wood apart from pine or meranti; e.g. sipo mahogany, larch or oak – please contact us.

WOOD/ALUMINIUM
THE IDEAL COMBINATION There are good reasons why the materials wood and aluminium are combined in the EGE production. The natural material wood is a welcome guest in rooms. It emits warmth and cosiness. It can, however, sometimes happen (and these cases occur more and more often) that external architectural lines demand other materials with regard to appearance and function. And this is precisely where the aluminium facing-shell is in great demand. EGE decided to use one without doing away with the other, and with this, developed the EGE wood/aluminium window. In addition, all RAL and anodised colour tones can be taken into account for the design of the house using an aluminium facing-shell, which will please both architects and house builders equally. Here, just as in other cases, the success lies in the combination. And in this case, it’s a particularly valuable combination.

ROLLER SHUTTERS
PLAY WITH LIGHT ! There are many good reasons for the use of roller shutters. And this is not just about burglary protection, glaring sunlight or unwanted looks: The self-contained roller shutter creates a heat insulating air cushion in front of the window and this acts as an energy saving insulating layer – particularly at night, when it gets really cold. This by the way works very effectively with the appropriate control engineering, that takes care of the nightly closing the roller shutters for you! Whether manually operated or motor-driven, whether for new buildings or retro-fitted: Every situation requires its own roller shutter solution. EGE has it!

SECURITY
SIMPLY A GOOD FEELING Most people consider home to be the safest place. This makes things even worse if burglars disturb this secure feeling. There is, however, effective protection against this. Just as the police do, we recommend that you secure areas with security risks using special measures against break-ins. Of course, all products made by EGE are made with a basic level of security which can be extended depending on requirements. EGE will support you in all questions relating to passive security. From our special range of hardware through to safety glass right up to locking systems that can only be opened with your personal fingerprint: because the one thing that is very important to us is your personal feeling of security.

SAVE ENERGY AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT Whoever wants to act in the interests of both the environment and their wallet should invest in energy saving windows from EGE. Because the earlier you make the decision, the earlier your purchase will become profitable. This by the way applies to both renovation and new construction projects. We would be pleased to advise you how to really save heating costs using the most modern windows available, and at the same time do something for the environment by reducing CO2 emissions. And for those considering purchasing a new heating system, the following applies: first replace the old windows with new ones, because this is where the energy gets thrown out of the window. And the upcoming new heating system can subsequently be dimensioned a lot smaller.

GLASS
Development of glazings’ thermal insulating characteristics:
KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE !
Ug* = 6.0
What do you think of preventing cold, retaining heat, using solar power in a sensible manner, reducing heating costs, protecting the environment and producing a cosy indoor climate? Do you think these are good ideas? What about everything at once? If so, we would like to inform you about modern thermal insulating glass at this point. No matter whether it's double glazing with a U value* of 1.1, or the ever increasing trend towards highly-insulating triple glazing with U values of 0.7 and better: the common theme is that all these glazing types achieve insulation values which were formerly the stuff of dreams. How is this possible, especially at the thinnest part of the house? It’s quite simple – it’s all to do with physics! Part of the protection is provided by transparent metal oxide coatings which reflect valuable heat energy from the pane back into the room; additional insulating inert gases in the space between the panes do the rest. Do you have additional requirements on your glass with regard to sound, vision, sun or burglary protection? Please talk to us; we would be pleased to advise you.
Up to the 70’s: Single glazing
Up to the beginning of the 90’s: double glazed insulation glass
Ug* = 1.1
Modern double thermally-insulated glass with coating and inert gas filling
Ug* < 0.7

Patterned glass
Ug-value* (known earlier as: ‘K value’) = thermal transmission coefficient of glazing in W/m²K; the lower the value, the better the thermal insulation. For comparison: A 20 year old double glazed window with a Ug value of 3.0 W/m² K lets 4 – 5 times as much heating energy escape as a modern triple glazed window.
