Thermal Insulation

The glazing used in this window has a thermal insulation rating (R-value) of:

Pyrobel 25 INT: 0.192 Km2/W

Pyrobel 25 EXT: 0.20 Km2/W

Changes to the NZBC H1 “Energy efficiency” will come into effect gradually starting from November 2022, featuring more stringent requirements for the thermal insulation values of all exterior glazed windows and doors. As a result, some of our products may not be suitable for all climate zones or building types. Customers should take care to specify a suitable product for each specific project and Pacific Doors take no responsibility for incorrect products being selected. Thermal insulation R-values for all our exterior glazing products are listed on the Pacific Doors website.
