Trend Thermashield system, available from Trend Windows & Doors , shields homes from weather extremes. The Trend Thermashield system also evaluates the level of protection required for each specific window or door and to choose accordingly. In turn, this translates into cost savings by reducing heating and cooling bills.
Trend Thermashield products are WERS (Window Energy Rating System) rated and are NATA tested. The WERS ratings are approved by AFRC (Australian Fenestration Rating Council), recognised by NFRC (National Fenestration Rating Council) and approved for energy rating windows or doors in Australia.
The Trend Thermashield system is suitable for cold climate areas and can reduce heat loss, air leakage and offer warmer window surfaces that improve comfort and minimise condensation. If the u-Value is low, it can offer more protection from the cold. U-Values that are lower (around 1.9-2.3) provide better performance.
With the Trend Thermashield system in hot climate areas, users can reduce solar heat gain and improve comfort while retaining clear views and daylight. In most climates, savings can be improved by substituting glass with a near-invisible low emissivity (or ‘low-e’) coating.
The Trend Thermashield system can reduce annual energy bills and lessen peak heating or cooling loads. This means users can use a smaller heating or cooling system. It also has a positive impact on the environment. The Trend Thermashield system’s frames with low thermal conductivity and low air infiltration in addition to energy efficient glass balances the entire the window system.
