WICTEC 50HI

Passive House Facade

Passive house does not require an active heating system and therefore relies heavily on the thermal insulation and air-tightness of the façade. Based on the standard series, WICTEC 50HI is certified for aluminium/glass façades suitable for passive houses at minimal additional cost. The thermal insulation exceeds the benchmark requirements of passive-house, with a Uf value of 0.65 W/(m²K) thanks to easy-to-install special thermal break profiles in combination with triple glazing.

WICTEC 50 HI - Passive House Curtain Wall

Without an active heating system, a passive building depends heavily on the thermal insulation and airtightness of its facade, two key elements of its passivity. The WICTEC 50HI range (for High Isolation) is based on WICONA's standard offer to provide construction professionals with a facade solution in aluminum and glass certified passive building. Based on classic references, which present at least two major advantages, one aesthetic, the other financial. Indeed, by adopting the WICTEC 50 system, the WICTEC 50HI range is suitable for the construction of passive buildings at a lower additional cost. The thermal insulation even exceeds the benchmark requirements of a passive building, with a Uf value of 0.65 W / (m²K). These exceptional results are possible thanks to the use of triple glazing and easy-to-install thermal break profiles. On the aesthetic level, the pure and uniform lines of the facades are preserved. The passive building curtain wall system WICTEC 50HI is certified by the IFT Institute Rosenheim (Window Technical Institute) as a component for passive buildings according to the IFT Guidance Document RI WA 15/1, with a Ucw value of 0.7 W / (m²K).
