Heat Therm
Reduce Heating Bills by up to 30%
Our Heat-Therm 30 window system utilises high performance materials and state-of-the-art insulation to effect a reduction in heating bills of up to 30%. The Heat-Therm 30 system reflects Global's guiding principles of quality, resilience and energy saving.
Heat-Therm 30 is a unique Global design system for the 21st century, an era in which energy costs are destined to remain on an inexorable upward trend. Over time, you will save thousands of euros by switching right now to the most efficient window system on the market. Heat-Therm 30 will sustain its energy saving properties for approximately 30 years.
While many homes already have double glazing, a new generation of low energy triple glazing can dramatically reduce the amount of heat lost through the windows and save you thousands on your heating bills and carbon tax.
Global Home Improvements has become the first company in Ireland to introduce A Rated triple glazed windows as standard, incorporating their energy efficient Heat-Therm 30 system.

With Heat-Therm 30, the panes of glass on the inner sides of a triple glazing unit, allows less heat to escape through your windows than ordinary glass – thanks to a special energy saving coating which let's the sun's rays through, but reflects heat from fires and radiators back into your home. Heat which ordinary double glazing allows to escape.
Eliminates Cold Spots and Condensation
Whereas ordinary glass offers poor insulation, with uncomfortable cold spots close to windows a common problem, triple glazing units in this system offer a total solution.
By making the inner panes of your window much warmer, cold spots are eliminated – also giving you more useful floor space.
And because it's warmer, the glass reduces internal condensation, normally produced when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface, such as conventional glass.
You're probably wondering how a microscopic coating on a pane of glass can make such a big difference to its performance. This is how it works.
The glass in your windows absorbs heat then radiates it again on the colder, outside, surface. This special glass has what is called a low emissivity coating on the surface that faces into the air gaps of the triple glazing unit.
Low emissivity means the coating is a poor radiator. The heat absorbed by the coated glass is inhibited from radiating across the air gap and then from the outer pane to the cold outside world. Instead the heat is reflected back into the room by the coating, which works in a similar way to a sheet of reflecting foil placed behind a central heating radiator bouncing the heat back into the room.
Appearance
The glass has high light transmission and appears virtually the same as clear float glass. However, in rare instances of strong oblique lighting, the coating may be seen as a transparent film. This is simply a transient visual effect, which can be considered positive evidence of the coated surface being present.
Further evidence of the coatings presence is through the very minor effect it has on white light transmission. This effect is so small as to be generally unnoticeable. However, when a light coloured object or material is in close proximity to the glazing, dependent on local circumstances and conditions, a slight darkening can be noted.
Because Heat-Therm 30 glass is so neutral in appearance, it is recommended that its presence in a triple glazing unit is confirmed on installation.
In certain extreme environmental conditions, low emissivity glass might increase external condensation.
